Is it me or does he ALWAYS agree with the faces and stick up for JR during commentary?

Yes, he's horrible now. Theres no more alternate point of view. Him and JR just take turns verbally blowing Cena, DX, Jeff Hardy, Carlito, Cryme Tyme, and any other face.
The last real heel tendency King had was the silence he demanded during Chris Masters entrance. But since latley hes been feuding with him, thats pretty much dead.
Heel Lawler was actually funny sometimes and tolerable to listen to. Face Lawler is just flat out unbearable most of the time.

I was never a huge Lawler fan, but the heel character had its moments. I know why they did it, but it seemed really bizarre when JR left in 05. One week Lawler was verbally blowing every heel on the roster, then once he was paired with Coach he suddenly hated them all and was behind the good guys.
He literally went from "I just cant stand this guy" one week to "you know, I do respect this guy, the more I think about it".

I think a major contributing factor in the whole 'John Cena Hate' is the fact that Good Ol' J.R. & Jerry 'The King' Lawler BOTH carry on like his s*#t don't stink! ...I always hit the 'Mute' button on my remote during Cena matches! 'Heel' Lawler, tho annoying! Is 100% more entertaining than what we've been subjected to as of late!

Heel Lawler had plenty of moments. I just never got how he did a face switch that fast. It was so stupid. Plus the new Lawler just sucks.

Yea i miss the Lawler that was always on Vince's side and would always disagree with JR no matter what, like at fully loaded 99 when Vince turns round and see's the picture of himself bleeding, then Lawler just says "who the hell put that up there?? was it YOU JR?? it was, wasn't it??".

I always thought the Vince/Lawler commentating team was underrated.

I always thought the Vince/Lawler commentating team was underrated. Me too actually dude. I really used to enjoy Lawler in the late 90s, now not so much.

Lawler's a dick, anyway. However, he had his moments as a heel.

I used to not be able to stand him when he was a heel.
But now, I wish he'd go back.

Face King is really annoying, i couldn't care less about whether he is verbally blowing Cena or whatever, i just dont think that the double face announce team works.
I hated Coach in the booth, but at least he mixed it up a bit.

Actually what I really miss is "No Lawler". I really liked Jim Ross and Heyman commentating on Raw.

You realize there aren't ANY true heel commentators anymore in the bigs? Even JBL shows a streak for not liking some heels, like The Miz and Slyvan, and even was monsterly over by destroying Masters at Tribute To The Troops.

Jerry Lawler back in the day was a lot better. I think people who didn't get to hear Lawler pre-2000 really didn't hear the real Jerry Lawler behind the mic. King was such a great heel for such a great heel and such a great commentator for a long time. During the late 90s was when he was at his best. He was funny, but he was also really mean to people. The puppies thing changed him into a funny dirty old man, but before that, he was so great as a heel colour guy.
What sucks about him now is he's just become a bad shill. And I hear so much about how much of a great wrestler he was, and he was one of the greatest of all time. And now, this is what people see him as now.

The Lawler we see now is no different than the one we've seen during 2002-03 when he did the same crap.
Although back then, he just liked certain people just to get under JR's skin.

Lawler was a great heel comentator in the 90s. I wish he could go back to his old self and rip on all the faces like he used to.

Lawler's commentary in 97 was possibly some of the greatest stuff ever done in wrestling.
God I miss 1997.
