Please, dear God, let it be matthews. When lawler gets back, as spot and i talked about, move regal up, and lawler can stay close to home. NXT would still be awesome.

I'll accept JBL, but miz is a young superstar who needs another few years in the ring before we want him anywhere near the mic.

The Miz to take over on commentary

The Miz to take over on commentary since Jerry isnt gonna be around for a while WWE should do this as Miz can do double duty being IC champion and the best commentator in the business this would make his awesome gimmick even greater he could gloat in peoples faces that not only is he champion but he does commentary as well

Highly unlikely. Miz is a young in ring competitor and a title holder. Miz won't become a commentator any time soon if ever. The most logical choice is Mathews, Striker och Stanford, possibly asking JR to fill in but not as likely as the other three.

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

Oh god no. The last thing we need is heel Cole back, nobody wants to be forced to watch the show on mute.

What Rain said. I'd much rather have Cole as a face or his current neutral character.

I doubt many people watch it no mute, Cole is absolute gold. How anyone can think Josh Matthews can work a better heel than Cole is just bizarre.

A lot most likely. When Cole was heel I almost always muted during high profile segments since I couldn't stand him.

Doesn't mean everyone does.

Cole is a fantastic heel commentator, you've said yourself how good SmackDown commentary is before. When he's with other good commentators (Booker and Josh), Cole works fine. King was a terrible commentator, Cole dominated segments so of course he'd be annoying.

We're talking about potential replacements in this thread and Cole has to be neutral/heel, he can not go face imo.

You're right, many people simply changed the channel.

Bringing up King was a good point, a good part of the reason he was so obnoxious on commentary was to get heat on himself during the Blue Cole/Lawler feud. Without that feud, would he be more tolerable?

And if Booker gets axed as GM soon, can't help but put him and Regal together, it sounds like a match made in heaven.
