JBL is NOT trying. He sits there and repeats the same things every match, every week. The same ten phrases, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over . |

Get rid of JBL and Byron. The three man announce team is crap; they spend too much time talking over each other. King can stay on Smackdown, JBL can go hang out with ADR and Zeb or something, maybe let him manage Swagger.
Put someone like Heyman on the booth to work with Cole, or find some new blood.
Byron's still kinda green. Put him on Smackdown or at the booth in NXT.

The same ten phrases, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over . Listen to his promo at the start of Wrestlemania X7. It's the same bloody thing as his commentary. We were warned and we failed to stop it. |

King's terrible, but he's nowhere near as bad as JBL is.

JBL is far, far worse.
I think King was the least offensive of the three at SSeries. But they are all awful.

If Vince and Kevin Dunn want to control the commentary so much, why don't they just be the damn commentators? It can't be any worse that Vintage Maggle and their mime sidekick.

Guys, gals, I think we can agree that Lawler and Jibbles both suck.

JBL is definitely the worst "Flying Lunatic MAGGLE!"

Cole: Buzzword, shilling, buzzword, buzzword, shilling, after buzzword, and he can't call an undercard match without talking about the PPV's Main Event.
JBL: His screaming, making too noticeable when he doesn't like / he likes someone, plus he has this ability (google or Vince on his ear) to MAGICALLY remembering the title history and all the records about a guy making a SURPRISE debut / return.
King: His lame jokes can't put anyone over, he doesn't care, the only time when he cares about is to tell us "B-BUT GUYS, DON'T COUNT JOHN CENA OUT YET"
Byron: Too nothing.
We can add that Brennan and Phillips are en route to become Cole 2, commentary looks doomed.

I smell like ballgame because I've been through fire, Maggle! Inappropriate obscure sport reference! Flying goat! Goat! Goat! Goat! Big red, big red! |

As poorly-motivated as Lawler has been lately, he never made me mute a program or even change the channel. That honor goes to JBL.
Lawler is more animated when he cares about what's going on; for evidence of this, check him out on the Raw immediately following Survivor Series 2014. The man was positively jolly. JBL in contrast was far quieter and more subdued.
Nobody at that table will be confused with Gorilla and Heenan; however, their lack of quality nowadays is Exhibit A in my argument that WWE is deliberately sabotaging itself.

I wonder if it's because he is tired of stuff like the evil authority figures. I mean when his booking style was pretty much always the superhero face that came out on top. (Sure, that face was almost always him but still) |

The commentary on New Japan's show on AXS made me realize what we're missing out on. I'd never expect it to be straight away that good, they gotta shill their stuff, but man it could be so much better than it is right now. It's gee-dee amazing is what it is. I'm such a mark listening to two guys do the job justice. Put wrestlers over. Do your job. Or go rot in your retirement stash. |

A three man commentary team doesn't work for me. Have a play by play guy and a color commetator. Either get rid of JBL or Lawler and it will improve.

I'd agree about being spoiled. We got Gorilla and Jesse, Gorilla and Bobby, JR and King, even Cole and Taz had good chemistry together, but the current team are so bad. It feels so forced and they have no chemistry with eachother at all. Depending on how old or where you watched your wrestling, some had Gordon Solie, Lance Russell, NWA/WCW JR, Tony Schavoine, Joey Styles, etc.. On the plus side at least it's not David Crockett or Mark f***ing Madden. Or Stevie Ray. My GOD, I listened to one of the later WCW PPV's, I'd remembered the commentary was dogshit, but...literally the first match was Madden trying to get himself over while, not kidding, Stevie Ray just kept yelling "My GOD" over and over. No comments on the match, no moves had to be happening, he just kept it up like the deranged love child of Joey Styles and one of James Brown's backup singers. Lawler is bad, he distracts from the match, but that combo above is...I'm convinced the ninth ring of hell is just them doing commentary. |

I just find him very dated and from a different era. When he is announcing today's womens matches, I can't help but separate today's Lawler from his "Puppies!" phase.

Just give me Cole and Graves and I think we could have a solid team.

Well if the action in the ring resembles a video game with the finisher spamming and lots of near falls may as well have the announcers resemble video games too as well with limited repetitive stilted wooden soundbytes.
