Can we move Barrett over to Raw? The current announce team is just so boring. No offense to Kevin Patrick he was a pretty decent backstage announcer, but he doesn’t bring anything to the commentary booth.

Im all for them having all 3 of them out there still. Although I wish they never took Byron off, I loved his goofy self. |

I’m on an Impact catch-up at the minute and I really don’t understand why WWE got rid of Tom Phillips/Hannifan. He was probably the best play-by-play guy they had at the time though Cole has upped his game considerably since then. Kevin Patrick was decent as an interviewer and seems a nice guy but I do find him quite dull on commentary.

His main roster career was a confusing one because it seemed they liked him for a while, then they soured on him but had to keep using him because the alternatives didn’t work out, then he got released. But agreed, he was easily the best play-by-play guy they had. I think ultimately that’s what the company is missing out on; a really strong play-by-play announcer. Cole has really improved since McAfee joined and Vince left, but that’s what they need to be searching for. The colour commentators are well represented. |

Well Cole won’t be on commentary forever and the only other play by play guys they have are vic Joseph and Kevin Patrick which while I think Vic Joseph is great they need a second one going forward, and I’d agree with what others have said about Kevin Patrick, he’s a nice guy but he’s not the future. |

I actually liked the last play by play guy that looked like a dollar store Joe Rogan. Was he an MMA commentator or something?

Honestly I wouldn't be opposed to Mauro returning if he was ever open to it, just to balance out the chaotic energy that is Graves on RAW.

I am sure Pat will come back in some capacity but I do wonder if he's going to keep reducing his commentary obligations in the next year. Dude really excelled on College Gameday and I can only see him getting more and more football gigs over the next year. He could end up being one of the biggest TV football personalities in the country in the next few years.

Dude, I don’t even play video games but Kevin Patrick is what I’d imagine a video game commentator to sound like. I’m really not sure if he’s real.

I absolutely love Wade & Vic on Nxt commentary so I don’t want them broken up. I wouldn’t mind them going to Raw but they have to go as a pair & be just as silly 😋 I would keep Pat with Cole on Smackdown as they have great chemistry. Hire Nigel back for Nxt.

I could do without Pat coming back. I know folks love enthusiasm but his carrying on glosses over the fact that he doesn’t really say anything interesting at all.

Why did Nigel leave again? Like was it his choice or did they actually let him go? Because if its the later they should bring him back.
