Kind of lost in the 'living colour' of the ending of RAW (badum-tish!) was the return of Hall of Famer, good ol' JR!
He's supposedly back permanently but i'm not getting my hopes up just yet. I was waiting for Swagger to come out and attack him, lol.

I'm thinking Cole eventually gets banished back to Smackdown.
I'm not going to lie I was hoping for a Pedigree and Future Endeavoring to Cole.
But yeah, good to see JR back where he belongs.

It's amazing having just Lawler and King again, without Cole desperately trying to get himself over. Make him a manager full time already. I will admit he's got enough gravitas and ability-to-annoy-the-crowd-iness on the mic to get SOMETHING over, just ideally not just himself.

All is right in the world again. I know some people think he's stale and washed up, but I personally (and selfishly) want him announcing my wrestling till the day he dies. Keep Michael Troll on Smackdown and let JR do his thing.

I wonder if Cole has nuclear heatz for not sounding even slightly excited at MITB. If JR was there it would've been even better.
And this is true for every single time it happens, King lights the **** up when JR returns and really takes it up a notch. I'm starting to think King hasn't lost it at all, and just has zero chemistry with Cole.

To be fair, Cole wasn't the one derailing the show once they ended the "wrestler" angle.
And I got a feeling this is going somewhere because they pulled a worked shoot... again.... with Cole

I'm rewatching Raw and I can't put into words how happy I am that JR is back officially.
I'm gonna assume that Michael Cole quietly reverts to a Smackdown exclusive. I feel bad for Josh, I imagine he's not gonna be in the pay per view picture anymore.

It was refreshing, JR is the best ever in my opinion and I hope he gets to call Raw as long as he wants to.

I know this if off topic, but Raven looks like he had a stroke in the sig above me. I had to say something.
Back to topic, I agree Cole needs to be gone from Raw. Cole and Lawler really hurt Cena/Punk's match at MITB, although it was impossible to destroy. However Lawler does always do better with Ross, so obviously we know where the real problem lies. The guy has been around 15 years and had plenty of opportunities, he just isn't the right person. I am also glad they completely took Cole off the show so he couldn't ruin the rest of the broadcast. As for Ross's age, he won't be around forever, I wouldn't mind seeing Stanford get a shot eventually. Unfortunately this is probably just a stupid angle, and Cole will be back in a month after winning a BBQ sauce on a pole match for the Raw announcer's position.

JR needed a break, and Cole was the best guy to cover - I think people are forgetting how stale JR was being considered for a long time, and absence truly has made the heart grow fonder.

I haven't "popped" for a surprise return like that since the RAW where they brought back Ric Flair and Jerry Lawler back on the same show....
Great having JR back - just wish it was Lawler, JR and Josh Matthews instead of Michael Cole, but we'll see.
