WATS UP WATS UP WATS UP

[BigJerichool222]

I never got annoyed by heel Michael Cole. Ever. Not even once.

BUT MY GOD, every time JBL starts shouting WATSUP during R-Truth's entrance I feel the need to punch him in the face in order to shut him up.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

JBL is the best commentator they have right now and the What's Up is the best part of his schtick.

[Heartbreaker]

I was first expecting this thread to be about the time R-Truth got blown up.

[BRV]

Everything that comes out of JBL's mouth lately has been pure garbage, but nothing will be worse than when he was practically having a medical episode while screaming "OLE OLE OLE!!!" over the first Los Matadores match.

[slappy]

I was wondering when this was going to be posted. The daily JBL hate post is usually posted earlier in the day.

Said it before and I'll say it again, JBL > All.

[wisdomwizard]

It is not annoying, it's the part of him that's a wrestling fan coming out. I'll never understand people being annoyed over the tiniest things they shouldn't be.

[JTG Fan]

God forbid an announcer try to get a wrestler's schtick over.

[RIHT]

You know, if people really don't like when JBL does it, then it doesn't count as "getting a wrestler over" or anything. I do think it gets kind of old after a while. JBL was much better, but he feels restrained on Raw. For some reason, he seems to be better on Smackdown.

[Deleted]

I actually enjoy it quite a bit. JBL's into the show. That's a bad thing?

[sunnytaker]

i did like how he stood up and proudly declared "WE! THE PEOPLE!" in support of Zeb's anti-vomiting speech on RAW though.

JBL is my favorite wrestling announcer of all time. He makes me laugh more than any other one ever has, and the way he yells Whats Up gets me every time.

[Sin Cara Tres]

Wow, people are defending this.

This doesn't help anyone because it's annoying as shit. Screaming into the mic, "WHAT'S UP!" again and again, it's not going to get me to shout it at house shows and I'm certainly not going to jump off my couch and do it.

That's what R-Truth is for. You're supposed to hear the fans' reaction not the commentator's. I'm glad Rock and DX aren't on TV, I don't need to hear him shouting "SUCK IT" and "IF YOU SMEEEEEEEEEELL" every week.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I like when he said, "All Hail!" for King Booker over and over but sometimes it sounded more like "Awww Hell!" which I thought was intentional.

[BigJerichool222]

Don't get me wrong guys, jeez. I don't hate JBL, I just hate WATSUPWATSUPWATSUP.

Problem is Truth's schtick is already over. JBL's my favourite announcer of the last ten years, but there are parts of his commentary that really grind.

[The Tank]

I do have a problem with JBL shouting along with Troof, but it's less a problem with him and more a problem with commentary in general.

They need to go back to the commentators having established roles. One heel, one face. Or in the modern case since they're never changing the current commentary team apparently, Cole as a neutral party, King as a face, and JBL clearly heel. It's okay for him to go along with obnoxious shouting things, but only IF HE'S DOING IT FOR A HEEL.

JBL shouting We The People? Good!

JBL shouting along with WHASSUP and OLE? Not so good!

Honestly, it makes no sense. They're so fond nowadays of telling us what do do instead of formulating things based off the crowd's opinion, and yet the best method they have for shoving things down the crowds' collective throats is horribly misused for that purpose.

THANK YOU

This has been pissing me off for so long. Shut up and let the fans chant it

[ayumidah]

That and his "OH! COME ON MICHAEL SAY OH" every time the Usos are out. Eesh.

[Hit Girl]

Normally it might annoy me, but if he drowns out Michael Cole, who I despise, I'm OK with it.

It seems forced and fake and manufactured, like he's being instructed to do it. It reminds me of when the commentators do the fake laugh at "WWE comedy" when you can see the crowd plainly just sitting there not laughing. It's almost like its done as some subtle laugh track cue to get the viewers excited or to program desired response. It's irritating. Just call holds and make funny observations. That was what announcers did for years before Vince's idiotic "Tell stories" stuff, and it was vastly superior.
