Who will replace Lawler on commentary?

[Crayo]

Well regarding his state, it's obvious he won't be commentating for a very long time (and possibly ever again). Who will be replacing him then?

I'm personally hoping for Regal, but I'm predicting either JR or Matthews.

 

[Stopspot]

JR and Matthews are the most probable choices, even Striker is quite likely.

Regal would be a good pick.

I'd like to see Road Dogg jump in but that is truly a curvball.

 

[CM Punk]

Hopefully Foley or JBL

 

[Lacky]

I want JBL.

 

[Stopspot]

Hopefully Foley or JBL

Again, JBL has six mountains he has promised to climb and he is currently prepping for climbing Kilimanjaro if he hasn't set off already.

 

[Crayo]

JBL would be heel and that doesn't work with Cole really.

Cole + Regal would be awesome.

Cole + Matthews is great though. Cole is a fantastic commentator so anything works.

 

[Stopspot]

Honestly. Considering how much respect there has been thrown on Cole, both from the IWC, casuals and reportedly also from backstage after last night I can easily see him slip into a face role now.

WWE wishes they had Taz back, surely.
I second the above comment regarding Mick Foley.

 

[Big Hoss Rambler]

It'll be Matthews. :downer:

 

[Leo C]

I'm quite certain it'll be Mathews.

I have no problem with Josh. Use Monday's show to start working Cole as a face pay by play commentator again and let Josh slowly slide into snide and snarky color commentator which we have seen traces off him doing on NXT and Superstars.

 

[Leo C]

I also like Mathews, but he normally gravitates between play-by-play and color all the time... what you suggested would be nice Stop.

 

[Jose Tortilla]

JR, Striker or Matthews.. All good for me.

God no. Matthews works Cole's heel role absolutely perfectly, he's the perfect face to counter Cole.

Maybe that's good, but how about SD? Striker and Cole?
