His first talk of hipsters that I remember was something like
"Becky Lynch once called me a hipster... it almost made me spill my craft beer"

If Cole has Cole Miners, does Rich have Brennan Town Musicians? Actually, they're Cole Minors. When he turned heel he inherited Lawler's creep factor.

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. The majority of hipsters embrace their cultish ways. A few try to deny it because they don't want to be labelled. Graves is the later. My favorite line of his was when he was running down Becky Lynch: "She called me a hipster! I was so offended, I spit out my craft beer!"

Just like how they say, a great referee is one you never notice, a great commentator makes a match amazing without making the focus on the commentary itself. JR did a great job, his commentary SHOULD have detracted from the product, but he did it in such a way that it built the product up. You take his commentary away from any Attitude Era match, and it just falls flat, and it's why we still miss him today.
Graves and Brennan still have a ways to go, but they are absolutely on the right track and could become the voice of the WWE in the future. It's the little things, too.... comparing Dax and Dawson to the Brain Busters and mentioning Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard by name, it puts the team over and lets you know exactly what to expect. I don't know if I've ever seen them before, but with that one line, I knew what to expect and got me interested in their progression as I was a huge Anderson/Blanchard fan.
Other than that, during the Owens/Balor match.... and I'm sorry, their voices blend together for me sometimes, so I'm not sure if it was Brennan or Graves who said "He's using the weapon as a ladder!" but the other chimed in about how in a match like this, that can be an accurate statement. All I could think was, "well played!" Because when you put it that way, it does make total sense.
However, on the main roster.... Cole would say the same thing, then Lawler, JBL and Cole would spend the rest of the match making fun of that comment and completely miss the action.
Just little things like that to pick up on add to the commentary and to the match itself.

I do like graves, he's definitely more of a Ventura-type than Heenan-type.

How many morons do they have screaming in their ear in NXT? Yeah, someone in the commentators ear isn't new. For wrestling or other sports.

Ive been a big fan of Corey Graves for a while now, but lately ive really started to like Rich Brennan. I don't even know what it is but I just like him and was happy to see him on this weeks Smackdown (don't know if he has been on there before). Him and Graves make a good team so I hope they get rid of Saxton from NXT and let those two do their thing (Saxton isn't really bad, but is very bland and is working on RAW so I don't see the need for him on NXT)

Rich: Graves did I just here you of all people make fun of hipsters? Graves:That's right.
