The lack of a serious passion behind commentary is HURTING the business.

I disagree with the “need a heel announcer” shyt.

I think the E has burned that to the ground and it’s old and played out.

I’d rather just 2 guys out there commentating that have great chemistry and feel like they get along.

You right because Joey Styles called ECW by his lonesome. But he was passionate about the product. These cats today are just lifeless out there

by this time I knew the deal with wrestling but this right here is how you sell a moment

Those “Why!!!!!” send a goddamn chill up my spine every time. You’d think JR was watching his own son catch the fade and HHH was his newphew running it

This whole segment right here too :whew:

"Damn you Helmsley! Damn you! Damn you all to hell Triple H! Triple H you son of bytch!" :wow: and :pachaha: at the same time.

Is there anybody that really questions JR status as the GOAT? And is it really true Vince didn't like him on commentary and him replaced with Cole? :what:

Corey Graves could be the next Hennan but Vince doesn't want heel commentators anymore, why :manny: he doesn't want managers, he doesn't want off script promos. its been said the show is over produced and the commentary being :yeshrug: about everything is a result.. These guys have the talent its just vince wants them to be like Joe buck or and older Pat summerall or brent musberger.. I don't know who in the hell he thinks his audience is but its disgusting to see how out of touch he is about this stuff

The commentary is awful all three of them last night was trash.

Graves is the most overrated announcer ever, I don't get the hype and why the hell is he on both shows

Renee was terrible I hope they never give her another shot

Michael Cole has never been worth shyt I don't understand how he has been with the company this long

Coach is OK but I think he would be better if that idiot graves didn't cut him off every time he talked, I know he's trying to be a heal but it's corny

WWE needs that Matt stryker Vampiro combo like Lucha underground :banderas:

See I disagree to that.

I thought Corey was the heel announcer.

When the heels come out they always nice and respectful to him.

Also barring its white girl Renee, he’s always a heel and an a$$hole to ALL the black commentators :mjpls:

With that said, he really isn’t that good and not deserving to be on 2 shows

I know many folks gonna say the bag is secured and what I say isn't gonna matter but folks cant sit there with a straight face and say they enjoy this generation of commentary. Listening to Cole, Graves, and Renee Young tonight was just absolutely torture. They were struggling like shyt to put over the Undertaker moment. They bring NO life into the product whatsoever and sadly this is how Vince likes it. And its not just the WWE but any wrestling promotion today as well. The commentary on ALL IN from what I heard was pretty good though. NXT got it right but they also need a real good heel commentator to put over the villains.

Where is this generation's Heenan?, Ventura? Lawler? Ross? Gordon Sole? I mean this shyt overall just makes the product dull.
Homie..let me tell u..this isnt a new problem.....we can go back years...the 09 era or before. You know what u see...its just not good. Mauro was different but everyone else was routine. Well Bryan put over damn everyone in the Cruiser Tourney...but that was just one run.

But with one guy being morally flexible, got to sell the heels breh. That will always be an important part of the show. Cant have a taping sound like an espn commentary team

I think Vampiro of LU and Rocky Romero of NJPW are the perfect templates to how to handle it.

Even Pope back during his TNA time.

Not that she was much worse than the current group of commentators sans Mauro, but Renee was truly awful last night, especially considering people wanted to see her doing commentary for years.

Her only reaction to anything was a half assed, "Oh, come on. :francis:"

Only reason I'll give her a pass is because knowing Vince's senile ass, that's probably exactly what he wanted.

That's boring AF :hhh:.. You the only one who wants tennis/baseball/real sports type respectful getting along commentary ..... Real markish...... Give me old fashioned carnie over the top rasslin angles, characters, and f#ckery...I'm here to be entertained and I watch real sports for the type of commentary you want and you can keep your neutered version of pro wrestling
