Dream (commentary) team possibly happening?

[anticonscience]

In his most recent blog, JR had this reply to a fan's question

"Will @joeystyles and JR ever call a match together?" Likely not on weekly TV but perhaps we might get to do something together on the WWE Network. We've discussed working together at some point when the platform and the time is right.

I would LOVE to hear the 2 of them call some classic (and not so classic) matches together.

2 play by play guys don't work.

Don't see why not. There's essentially no actual difference in color and play-by-play anyway with WWE's style.

And I thought they were bringing Dusty back.

I was hoping this thread was about Jim Ross & Booker T

Didn't J.R. and Joey Styles work together briefly on RAW?
All I know is I would love to hear a simultaneous "OH MY GOD!"

This would have been dream commentary like 14 years ago.

I'm sorry to say it... But JR's condition has made it so he can't even do a decent job of calling anything. I love the guy, and think he's made some classic calls, & is a brilliant mind. But he can't keep up physically anymore.


Also, 2 play by play guys has worked a number of times in the past. It happened a lot in WWF & WCW.

I think it would with those two. Styles would probably end up doing more color because he basically did both, by himself, in ECW. I'm not really interested in hearing them call classic matches though. They wouldn't have the same excitement in their voice as they do when calling something live and if they did it would sound silly.

They DID call matches together, at WWE vs ECW Head To Head.

I was hoping it was going to be JR and JBL.

[Mr Captain Falcon]

I was hoping for JBL/Gorilla Monsoon.
"Will you stop!?"
"SHADDUP!"

Hoping for JBL and Booker T.

SIGNED


The brief periods we had JBL and King Booker on commentary together were probably my favorite segments of commentary in the last 15 years.

Dream? But this isn't Stanford and Regal!

Haha. So true. Commentary is the one place I think that you can recapture the magic of years past. JR hasn't been very good in his latest run, but can you blame him? He was a third wheel with the earpiece telling him to ignore the match. If Styles and JR were allowed to just perform their craft, I think it would be incredible.
