After watching a few moments of Raw with that new lead announcer who constantly sounds like he's out of breath and sexually excited at the same time, it's time to appreciate Cole. His work at the Rumble was great. I don't watch week to week so not sure if he's improved simply because Vince left, but he was MUCH better than I remembered last night. Worked well with McAfee and Graves.

It was a shoot.
Kind of nice to see genuine reactions from Cole.

It was a shoot. Kind of nice to see genuine reactions from Cole. It also explains why a lot of the commentary sounded like three dudes just watching a show on the couch as those three had no group prep for it.

I love McAfee and I love him and Cole together. That said, I thought they were all annoying as f**k last night. So I blame Graves. And I like Graves.

I was forced to listen to him talk about people being getting "CHOMP-ionship" title runs/reigns/accolades tonight. He's fine on commentary, but god does his accent grate my nerves. The way he pronounces A's...just...*shudders*. I get why, but it's still annoying. That annoyed me I thought he was doing a bit until he kept saying it that way over and over It's just how he talks, but man was it on overdrive last night. I first noticed it ages ago when he pronounced Bianca's name like Bi-ON-ca, and I've not been able to unhear it since.

It's either Canadian or British. I wasn't watching his show when he started doing it but I think it was soccer-related.

Pat definitely put in Art Donovan levels of research for the product since he left.

It was hilarious how Corey kept having animosity for Pat, then spent most of the show agreeing with him my favorite part of that was Corey saying someone was like the punter of the team that won the Super Bowl it doesn't matter they still get a ring, and are a part of the team! and Pat was all excited "YEAH EXACTLY!"

Pat also said something about Dominik and how he's a bitch and Rey needs to whoop his ass and he would if he was a father or some shit like that and Corey was like you'll be one soon and Pat laughing saying thanks

Somebody needs to get switched to RAW bcuz.. He's not bad but my problem with him is the fact his accent sort of gets in the way of his excitement level
He sounds at the same pitch all the time and it comes across like he is reading and not reacting. Too bad they can't get Tom Phillips back and finally just let him and Corey be the awesome two man tandem they was in NXT

Definitely not my area of Canada. I was thrown off by the chompionship too.

Pat going “well Howdy Doody, sir. Welcome to Texas” before Uncle Howdy’s Mountain Dew Pitch Black leap of faith made the moment funnier.

Definitely not my area of Canada. I was thrown off by the chompionship too. I could be wrong, but I think it's an exaggeration of his Canadian employee's accent. He tossed in a "lads" at some point that definitely comes from that, too. There were a handful of things that were kind of running bits from his show that he sprinkled in throughout the night, like calling Peacock "The Cock."
