"LETS GO CENA" "CENA SUCKS" "Listen Cole, there's an Oompa Loompa chant!" REALLY? That was almost as bad as his "Do you hear that, it's a Let's Go Sheamus chant" when the crowd was clearly chanting "Let's Go Ziggler"

BAhahahahahahahhahah @ these comments. Lawler is truly awful. Seriously.
BUT, he did have a line that made me laugh pretty hard. During the main event, Bryan hit Cena with a diving headbutt and Lawler called it a "big goathead headbutt"
I don't know why I found that so funny, but it was hilarious.

Sheamus could stab Jinder for no reason and Lawler would justify it

I will admit, Lawler made me laugh out loud tonight, when he made a goat sound during the Cena/Bryan match. It was so random.
Overall though, he is horrible. I'll rather have 2 Cole's bickering then Lawler these days.

The thing is, if it was 10 years ago, and Jim Ross was the face announcer, I highly doubt he would still be like "well, you know King, Sheamus is just borrowing the car." Jerry is just so much of a face he condones grand theft auto. I wonder what that tells the fans, "it's ok to steal kids, because it's borrowing."
Jerry Lawler is a face announcer, I understand that. But, he's getting Michael Cole 2004 bad where everything the face did was the right thing and everything the heel did was the wrong thing. And having Michael Cole as the play-by-play isn't helping either.

Someone should start a "Fire Jerry Lawler" petition and get it to go viral.

He never blindly cheered on faces doing bad things. Like how at Unforgiven 2001 he was yelling for Kurt Angle to not stoop to Austin's level and piledrive Austin on the floor, saying that he'd regret it for the rest of his life.

Lawler as face announcer just isn't working. If they switched him to heel and stop having Cole go back and forth and just become the face announcer, which he is more natural at, then it might work. I'm not saying Lawler would work as a heel with Cole as face, because he just doesn't have the chemistry with Cole as he did with JR, but a change is needed. Don't know if it's Lawler doesn't want to be heel anymore or if this is Vince's idea, but something needs to change.

When it comes to Kelly, Lawler didn't say or insinuate anything that he hasn't before during a women's match. It's not offensive, because given how well some of these girls wrestle it's obvious they're just there for the boys to ****-off to. So there's no harm in that.
Honestly, I haven't heard much at all about how bad Lawler is (not to this extent anyways) until CM Punk got in his face last week. Now, it seems like everybody wants in on the action.

When King is making Cole tolerable..............that really says something to me. Is that what is happening? Because I actually thought Cole did a pretty good job calling the main event. I think it's kind of odd though, that Cole does good on Smackdown and NXT, but somehow isn't very good on Raw? He just has nothing to work with out there. I am not saying Cole is great, but's he really a decent to good announcer, he just needs the right partner. Lawler is just plain awful and doesn't care anymore. It's sad because at one point he was very entertaining at the booth.

You mean Jerry "Stupid" Lawler?
(Much like Kevin "Big Lazy" Nash, I think Jerry's awfulness over the last decade has cost him the right to his chosen nickname, and left him with his more fitting one which was bestowed upon him.)

I mean, this forum has been bashing him incessantly for years on end and if it wasn't for Cole just being troll-y (and involving Lawler's family), Cole probably would have gotten cheered over him in the Mania feud. I've been bashing him since around 2008, and I just ignored his badness for a few years before then. He doesn't put over the heel superstars in the way that face commentators should, and he has absolutely no balance in his commentary whatsoever.

Yeah, most of the people this forum have hated him for years. I literally didn't see or hear of anyone else complaining about him until the past month or so. The other wrestling fans I know in real life (who aren't part of the IWC), still love him though.
I'm not a huge fan of his commentary work, but I've heard alot worse. And the complaints about his pervyness strike me as more than a little ridiculous since being the "dirty old man" has kind of been his gimmick for the last decade +.

I had friends and acquaintances who were tired of Lawler back in 2001 and where happy as all get out when he quit after that whole situation involving his wife.

What exactly was Lawler supposed to say with the whole Sheamus thing? If he just stays quiet, then all we see is Michael Cole saying Sheamus stole the car and now he looks like the heel, when he isn't. He really couldn't say anything else.
It's not like anyone here ever complains when the heel commentator does the same shit but for the bad guys. I think some of you are overreacting.
