Michael Cole and Tazz in 2003 >>>>> JR and King in 2003

[Swagnicious]

There. I said it. And it needed to be said.

I feel negs coming already.......but I don't give a shyt. Because anyone who was watching both shows in that period, knows that I just spit truth.....

Mauro and Graves in 2016>>>>>>>

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Cole actually CAN BE a really good play by play guy but years of memos and Vince shouting in his ear ruined that

 

[Riley Escobar]

Smackdown commentary in 02/03 was pretty dope

 

[Da King]

Cole is actually not bad, watch the network special in Tokyo, Kang gave him free reign that night as Vince wasn't even there. He was great the entire show

But JR/King will always be the GOAT

 

[Double J]

Smackdown >>>>>> Raw in 2003

But no way Cole and Tazz were ever seeing JR and King.

JR and King are the GOAT

He had Gawd Heyman producing him during that period.....

Cole was calling moves during matches.....for the ENTIRE MATCH, too .....no WWE app, no Twitter, no lame-ass side banter except for when Tazz was dropping ether on him. He actually had passion in his voice. I'll never forget when he cussed out Lesnar for doing some fukked-up shyt, and Tazz actually had to calm his skinny ass down .....I BEEN looking for that clip

Meanwhile......Ross and Lawler started phoning it in, in 2003......although given Raw's product at the time, it's hard to blame them

Lawler sucked since he came back after survivor series 2001 and was face

I gotta be fair: it really was more Lawler than JR now that I think about it

JR prolly knew shyt like the Kane vs. Shane feud was wack sauce but God bless him......he still tried to sell the hell out of it as best he could. But you could tell in his commentary he was realizing the Raw product was no longer the late 90s greatness that it once was

 

[TransJenner]

I never got the Tazz hate , him laughing was funny as fukk

I never got the Tazz hate , him laughing was funny as fukk

The one flaw Tazz had was sometimes he'd go off on a tangent and stumble over his words while doing it.......but dude was always hype on commentary besides that

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Cole knows his place

 

[jadillac]

I don't want to agree with this, but thinking about it, I might have to agree.

SD in 02-early 04 was just really that dope.

 

[ManBearPig]

Tazz and cole being better than JR alone is laughable.

 

[Swagnicious]

Tazz being better than JR is laughable.

1. You comparing a solo PBP man to a solo color man

2. I'm comparing the two TEAMS. JR and King were early 90s Hogan status in 2003. While they were still loved and legendary, they were starting to get stale

I don't want to agree with this, but thinking about it, I might have to agree.

SD was so good back then that both Vince and Hogan had SD-exclusive feuds
