Can't defend Lawler's performance for the last several years at all. If he's not gonna use his true talent, he has to go. But I do want to see that classic TV moment when he returns, at least.

Regal does a good job on NXT, mostly as a face with slight heel tendencies. I'd like to see him on Raw as a straight-up heel commentator.

When Cole plays it straight he ain't bad. If he has to be a heel, make him a manager or something. As a heel commentator he's pretty much unlistenable.

JBL is really good but isn't likely to be around long.

Somebody in another thread mentioned giving Road Dog a shot as a commentator and I'd be all for that. Considering what we have right now, it's worth a try.

Striker I liked at first, but after awhile he just came off as a sniveller.

Also, traditional face play-by-play and heel color is what works best. Let's get back to that formula. :smugdraper:

His heel ass kissing was hilarious. But I knew the beginning of the end was coming when he didn't heel it up for the ETC. :to:

I've said several times before that face Cole and heel JBL was an underrated duo on SD!. I wouldn't mind if that was the permanent Raw team.

Funny thing is, I was like :comeon: to JBL going on commentary back then at first because I hated him as a wrestler for so long

JBL/Striker would be 100X better than anything Cole or Lawler related...

Matt "CENA'S FREE!!" Striker? :dead:

Matt "I'm markin' out, bro!" Striker? :dead:

dude is gonna be out already

--John Layfield will be dong Raw tonight, but he's leaving Friday to attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro so won't be on Raw next week. Layfield said, "I was very rusty, especially at times, but had a blast" in regard to the show. He also noted the trivia that he, Jerry Lawler and Dutch Mantel were all born on November 29th. Of course John was born in 1966, while Lawler and Mantell were both born in 1949. Layfield said he weights 245 pounds which is the lightest he's been since the age of 20.

Regal dont wanna do no damn commentary:childplease:

He's the regular color commentator on NXT right now. Seems pretty clear he's auditioning/being groomed for a commentating job on one of the main shows.

JBL made me actually watch the whole thing

they need to sign him to a fat contract like 200k+ till mania

This. He actually made the matches interesting and they felt like they meant something rather than it being just another match for the hell of it.
