Can we get something different out of the commentators' booth, please? Like now?
Seriously, I'm having a very hard time tolerating anything Cole (especially Cole, but Lawler working with him isn't much better). JR, at least, gave you a little hope, but neither would hold a candle to Vince and Jesse or Gorilla and Heenan.
It's getting to the point that the commentary is hurting one's enjoyment of what's going on in the ring, when it used to elevate and bolster the experience. I have a hard time paying attention to the in-ring product when Cole and Lawler are bickering; at least with Gorilla and Heenan it was limited to "Will you stop?"
Please tell me I'm not the only one who's getting tired of this, or tell me why the current team is better.

No, far from it. I cannot stand Cole on RAW. Too annoying. Cole on NXT3 was good though.

Cole makes me want me to invent a time machine and go and show Daniel Bryan on that fateful night who he shoud've done targeted with that tie.

I'd rather listen to Cole all day than Lawler. Lawler makes me wanna hit the mute button

They're both awful.
...Though honestly Vince was pretty godawful at the commentary table too.

Cole called Natalya "hefty" tonight. I hope he gets fired for that

They're easily the worst things about Raw. Recently they've ruined shows that could've been good if it wasn't for the attention whoring, moronic commentary. They're treating the product like Mystery Science Theater. On one hand, it seems like creative is trying to make things better this past year and on the other hand, Cole and King are making a mockery of everything that's happening. It's a really frustrating time to be a fan.

Cole's character would be much more tolerable if there was a strong babyface announcer that can counter him. Someone who can be the "voice of reason." Lawler can't pull it off. Matthews can't pull it off. Grisham can't pull it off. Matt Stryker certainly can't pull it off.
We need someone whose logic and reason can balance out Cole's absurdity.

You know there's a good chance it wouldn't work. Possibly even not fitting into his character, but if it did work, god it would be glorious... Face JBL. |

Get him back on tv. I bet him and Cole would have GREAT chemistry. |

Cole called Natalya "hefty" tonight. I hope he gets fired for that And Lawler got pissy at Cole for doing that, then IN THE VERY NEXT SEGMENT Lawler started reeling off his fat jokes on Vickie. They both can go f*** off. |

i think Matthews does a good job on SD putting Cole in his place. once a week i laugh at Josh telling Cole "no one cares" or to just "be quiet". he at least calls him out in an "are you kidding me" kind of way.
i was watching WM 18 the other day and it made me miss the old King even more. watch the Taker vs. Flair match, his commentary is so spot on as a heel it had me cracking up.

Cole annoys me that He is a not completely picking a side. He needs to be full on Heel. So King needs to be the front man and Cole needs to be the secondary Heel. Cole can't lead and be the bad guy. It does not work.

...I guess I'm the only one loving it.
By the way, "...and Nattie gets to go on crash diet!..That's awesome!" had me in stitches.
