Booker T got a lot of flack during his time at the booth for being nonsensical and even contradictory, but I must say, Booker's ramblings would be music to my ears compared to JBL right now.

Booker T won't rape me with a scrub brush, so he wins by default.

Not that I was a fan, but I'll take Booker over JBL any day.

JBL dismisses talent more than he puts them over.
At least Booker T was funny.

I'd like to try another color commentator, as we sometimes mention, guys like RVD, Christian, somebody like that.

I always liked Booker, he was fantastic. JBL has been shit for 95% of his run.

Booker T is one of the worst commentators I've ever heard.
JBL is worse.

Booker was hilarious in that he wasn't really a heel, but he did the same things that heel commetnators do. Like changing his pick in battle royals/MITB matches then claiming to have chosen the winner all along, having lke 14 people in his fav 5, doing hypocritical things like criticising Kofi for dancing (the nerve!). He was almost a deconstruction of a heel commentator, pointing out that their thought processes are actually pretty funny.

As goofy and as nonsensical as Booker could be, I'll give him this; he made a genuine effort to put guys over. His support for D-Bryan, comparing current talent to old legends, selling the concept of punishing matches, etc. His weirdness with Kofi aside, it never felt like he was overtly burying anyone and his enthusiasm never felt nearly as fake as it so often has with Cole or Lawler.

"FAVE FIVE" "SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACK" > "AHAHAH LOVE IT MAGGLE" "WE FIGHT ON FRIDAY NIGHTS MAGGLE"
I prefer Booker but I would like to see the insanity of both together at commentary

If you'd have told me during his TNA run that Booker T would go back to WWE and become the best commentary guy they had, I'd've laughed so so hard then looked a complete fool when it came true.

Both were/are two of the worst I've ever heard, so neither.

I would say JBL is better, mainly because he was good during his first commentary run in 2006. He put EVERYONE over. He sucks now, but Booker T always sucked so JBL wins by default in my eyes.

Booker T actually tried to put over the wrestlers and angles. JBL buries half of them and yells over Cole nonstop.
