He's good as a straight up face commentator. They need to stop having Corey undercut him. It ruins his credibility and highlights his weaknesses.

Honestly, Corey gets on my nerves more than anyone these days. Always feels like he's trying to get himself over.

The bold is the main reason why he irks me. It's like, Corey keeps going at him and he's got no comebacks. It clashes w/Corey's style b/c there's no back and forth and it's super one sided.

That Nazi chick confirmed that she is indeed getting ate out by Sonya.

Y’all better give her the same energy y’all gave Seth (for a total of two weeks :francis:)

I know Corey can be a lot for some people, but he's the MVP of the booth every week. He at least sounds like he gives a shyt. Everyone else sounds sleepy and too laid back. WCW knew how to do the 3 man booth perfectly.

Play by play
Heel
3rd man is a specialist (Tenay, McMichael)

WWE is basically two faces and a heel. And it's worse with book and coach because they don't do either one. At least with Book, he's a former wrestler so he brings that but coach brings nothing but "I used to be on ESPN"
Book I don't mind because he at least brings some energy to Raw. When it's Coach and Cole, everything feels so rote and lifeless.

NXT's three man booth works, largely because Mauro is such a lively play by play guy that Percy and Nigel being more laid back balances him out. Also, Nigel and Percy being former wrestlers helps as well, like you said.
