I am alone in thinking these two are the future of commentary in WWE? They are great in NXT, it showed even more this week without Saxton there, although I do love Graves running down Saxton at every possible opportunity.
I don't know about Rich's background but he seems to have a mind for wrestling & I love how Graves as a heel leaning guy still praises the ability of faces in the ring (Becky being a big example of this). Also for some reason I just love the way Rich calls Owens' Pop Up Powerbomb.

Brennan used to commentate for a small indie promotion in Houston along with having a background in hockey commentary.

Brennan still needs a bit of polish, but he's definitely getting there. Graves though, I'd be happy with him replacing one of the chucklef***s on RAW ASAP.

I enjoy them as well, Graves especially. He's absolutely fantastic at being a true heel commentator. He doesn't bury the faces, he just doesn't like them. He's a modern day Ventura and I wish like hell he was on RAW over JBL.

If Cole has Cole Miners, does Rich have Brennan Town Musicians?

Take the best commentator on the world and they'll start to suck with Vince yelling in their ear, but I like both guys a lot. Corey more than Rich, but Rich is very good also. I just think they'll end up not being able to be good the second they're off NXT.

Really good announce team. Interested how they will sound with Vince in their ear constantly. JR is the only person who seemed to be able to pull that off.
Current announce team is horrible and possibly the worst I've ever hear in a major promotion so I would welcome the change (even with Vince in their ear)

On the pre shows and stuff the other announcers seem to gang up on him even though he is probably just saying what they tell him to. |

How many morons do they have screaming in their ear in NXT?

I like them both but as far as them on the main roster goes, it's all about who's around them and who's in their ear. Notice that the much maligned Saxton and Cole did a good job at Beast in the East.

Corey Graves is a guy who so naturally just gets being a heel commentator that I'm so glad they offered him that chance. He's been the quickest among all the people they've tried to take to his role, and he strikes a really perfect balance in terms of heeling it up without becoming overbearing, all wrapped up in a defined and vivid character. There's a lot of stuff going on at once when he's talking, and he's a natural at it.

Not a fan of Brennan. Reminds me too much of Cole.
Graves can be annoying, especially with that anti-hipster schtick. He IS a hipster. No shame in it dudebro.

I guess Graves is alright but it seems like he's trying to be too much of a heel by ALWAYS calling Byron Saxton....Saxton. just seems like he's trying too hard sometimes.

Graves is the future. That guy is better than Ventura. I liked Jesse's commentary at times but could do without the racism and self-promotion. Jesse often times sounded bored, unless he was calling PPV with Gorilla.
Graves focuses on the action and get a both heel and face characters over. He is smart and you can tell he respects the business and the competitors while running down the faces for their behavior. He doesn't overpower the broadcast. That guy, if left to do his job, will go down in history as one of the best.

They are both amazing at their jobs.
Would they be good on Raw with Vince shouting in their ears? Who knows, but make no mistake about it JBL will be trash with or without Vince's yelling.
