How long has this guy been just a complete bland, boring useless commentator? .He has a complete crapfest of a fued and match with Michael Cole booed out of the building at WM.
Why does Vince insist on leaving this guy around exactly? The guy has been phoning it in for YEARS! How has he been able to keep his job this long?

Jerry was never all that great behind the desk, but he's really awful now. He makes the show sound about as exciting as a bread-baking competition.

Good question. I wonder if Vince thinks him going elsewhere to do commentary would be a big deal? If he does, I completely disagree, unless he was paired with Jim Ross again.

We need someone to call Vickie fat. Well hell, just hire back Scott Steiner and stick him behind the booth. |

I guess I'm in the minority, but I like Jerry. If they get rid of anyone, it should be Michael Cole.

I have no idea. He brings nothing to the table and no one'd really miss him.

It's better for them to keep him around and on a leash than letting him go and risking him getting back to old form somewhere else.

I wonder this myself. The stuff he says on commentary nowadays is downright irritating. My biggest gripe is the way he basically bitches about the fans when they cheer for a guy and he doesn't get it. During the Cena/Punk match this past Sunday, he was all but calling the audience morons, and was completely baffled as to why they'd cheer the hometown hero who'd been standing up for the little guy.

He's been recycling the same stupid lines for YEARS now.
I don't think he's been worth a shit since he was brought back at the end of 2001. Especially after spending those 9 months listening to Paul Heyman on color, who blows Lawler away in pretty much every way possible.
The day he's dumped from the booth is the day that it improves quite a bit in quality. Listening to Cole with Josh Matthews on NXT proved to me that Cole can be alright with a partner that doesn't completely f***ing suck.

because most people aren't this place. I really enjoy Jerry still, like I'm sure most of the audience does.

His commentating is so repetitive and basic they could replace him with a tape of his phrases.

The first time I remember being flat out sick of Lawler was Fall 2000. By the time he left in February I was jumping for joy.
For most of the past 10ish years, I've just been working really hard to ignore him. I only notice him when he says something really stupid now, the casual stupidity and half assing don't even register now.

It's quite humorous seeing people here act like their opinion that Jerry sucks is universal. I mean, he still gets a loud "Jerry, Jerry" chant whenever he gets in the ring so that proves he isn't completely hated right there. |

As someone who just recently started watching current product again, I gotta ask this. When did Jerry and Michael start their decline toward suckiness? Cole used to be really good on play by play and Lawler was kinda fun cheering on the heels (even if Jesse Ventura and Bobby Heenan did it better).

Paul Heyman did his job so much better than Lawler. I was pissed when they brought Lawler back. Can't believe that's been 10 years ago already.
