Why would they do such a horrible thing? I mean, Cole's probably the weakest commentator out of all of the lot, and Coach isn't a whole lot better. maybe they wanted people to like Cole. Granted I like Michael Cole despite his obvious shortcomigns as a PBP guy, but when you put Coach next to him, he looks like Jim Ross and Gordon Soile combined.

That's...actually not a bad point, when you think about it. I may just stop my "Blame every bad thing that happens on Cole" campaign to a "Blame every bad thing that happens on Coach" campaign if I have to put up with him for too long.

This would be a perfect job for Doc Hendrix... or Michael Hayes, but I'm not picky.
Coach? Oh my god, this is the man that made a Jericho/HBK match nigh unwatchable... his run in '03 as a face commentator was friggin horrible... I can't believe this.
Seriously, though, would anyone be better suited at this point that Michael Hayes?

Didn't see this posted, but according to PWInsider, the new announce duo on SD is Micheal Cole and Coach, so...yeah, this should be all kinds of suck.

Or you could adopt my stance and go straight to the source and blame Johnny Ace for everything always.

Oh I blame him for things too, like not keeping his finger off the switch, and now this announcing audition neither announcing or auditioning itself very well

Why not Dusty?
Or an active wrestler that can do double duty like what King used to?
Why hasn't that gimmick been done again?

Haha. People complain and say they won't watch a wrestling show because they don't like the announcer! Only two words can counter this... Don smurfing West. -metylerca I'd watch TNA on a more regular basis if Don West was replaced and Mike Tenay was given some Ritalin. Screaming through every match can get on a man's nerves after awhile.
