that would be like having a female referee. It will never happen in WWE. At least not for years and years. and I"m talking like a hundred years here. In the past ten years they've had a female referee (Jacqueline) and a female commentator (as others said, Lita). I don't think it's out of the question that they'd have a female commentator for NXT or Superstars.

I just don't think I would want to listen to a woman talk throughout an entire show, even if she was a good commentator. I also can't stand female ring announcers.

I'm all for a female commentator that's just "OK." As long as she was replacing Cole. I'm also fine with the concept of female interviewers & hosts. ALA Stephanie Wyant (she was terrible), Trish, & Terri, (Who were both good hosts).

Rita Merrill or something. I met her in upstate NY. Great stories and a great scrapbook. She even reffed an andre Big John Stud haircut match.

It doesn't matter who's doing commentary Cole wouldn't let them get a word in anyway Seriously they have JR out there now trying to call the match while Cole interrupting him to put himself over.

I didn't know Mike McGuirk did commentary. THe more you know I suppose.
ANd to answer the thread question, I'd love to see it. Why not freshen up a generally bland commentary team & bring in a new voice with a different perspective?

Ivory did it, too. She was pretty good, but she just talked too much. Very enthusiastic.
The NWA had a female (Joane Rougeau) do the PLAY BY PLAY on their broadcast here in Montreal. She wasn't half bad either, and had to carry an overbearing color commentator (Richard "Le Magnifique" Charland *pukes*) who endlessly put himself over.

Joanne Rougeau used to promote the WWF shows in Montreal as well. And she's Jacques and Raymond's sister, grew up around the family promotion... she probably knows more about wrestling than most men. And Richard Charland? *shudder* I miss Edouard Carpentier.

Yeah, she'd just get mocked mercilessly by Cole, and probably not be allowed to offer any rejoinders. Plus, since when has knowledge of the business been any sort of priority for WWE announcers? But, anyone would be better than Cole and Lawler. Even Kelly Kelly? You know... Kelly Kelly wasn't that bad doing guest commentary on Raw. When she got to just ad lib, she sounded way more natural and comfortable with her comebacks on Cole.

its all good in theory, i liked when the bbc put a female commentator on match of the day, but then she was shit and i was accused of sexism cos i said she was shit. it was because she was shit, not because she was a woman.

If they're good, they're good. I am not in favor of one if it's just for the sake of hiring a woman one, because it'd be unfair to both her and whoever else was qualified.

I think Ivory was on commentary on Heat and WWE Experience she was awful. Lita wasn't great but she want not as bad as others.

Cole/Vickie/Lawler. Imagine that combo. They'd probably never even acknowledge a match was going on between all the bad insults.
