King's alright. I was more focused on tuning JBL out tonight. Holy hell dude chill out with the heel announcing for a few minutes.

And then when Fandango hit that leg drop on Miz. "That's almost a twerk isn't it?" ... what

I'm offended by most of King's comments about women, and I'm not even a woman yet

"If you get an e-mail that says it contains two tickets to a 3MB concert don't open it! It contains two tickets to a 3MB concert!" I legit spit up my beer when I heard that. King's still got some of his old one-liner-magic left, I tells ya.

I think King has gotten better with the addition of JBL to the announcing team.

JR carried Lawler during the AE, sorry.
Lawler only works as a sleazy heel.

The only good thing about Lawler is that his voice is familiar. Hes one of t e only ones left from the attitude era thats been around forever. His reactions to every Rock promo was amazing. His shocked shriek deal, hilarious. I love King's voice and its great to hear him every week like I always have. But lets face it: He offers nothing.
There is no one he can play off of. JBL and Cole are both boring and JR is never coming back. So it just isnt fun with Babyface King.

I barely listen to the commentary anymore. I could care less. At least the King is still trying. God bless him.

I think King would honestly be better as a crow-warmer guy at this point, rather than commentary. He is still liked by the audience more than not, so just have him shoot the T-shirt gun, do some promo stuff in the ring, and then go back stage and sit most of the show out or something. I am glad that they are getting more serious about training new commentators, because honestly, it's not even an issue of malice, but he's just getting older and losing more step.

His work when he came back from the heart attack was top notch. That ship has sailed though now, Lawler out please.

He's not too bad. He should just stop trying to be hip. I mean, he just throws these pop culture references out without provocation and it just sounds like he's trying too hard.

What I don't get is that as far as his comments about women go, no one really cares.
I know it's "sports entertainment" and not actual sport, but considering what a shitstorm occurred over John Inverdale's comparably rather tame comment about Bartoli during Wimbledon, you'd think someone somewhere would complain about it?
Although having watched some US cable TV, especially the news, I'm not actually surprised this kind of stuff is considered normal.

NO IT'S f***ING NOT A f***ING TWERK YOU MORON, SHUT YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTH. I want this as a quote in my sig but am not sure if I can have it as a quote in my sig but I want it. Seriously, I can't laugh this loud this early at work. He's good as the peacemaker when Cole and JBL start getting white-hot offtopic at each other. He's not good as a pacemaker, for kinda obvious reasons. Oh wait, you said peacemaker. Yeah, he's not that either.

Seriously. This guy is a total f***ing moron. For example the shit he said after Miz danced with Summer Rae and she freaked out. "He asked if he can have this dance. That's protocol isn't it?" By that logic a man can rape a woman and it's totally okay, as long as he asked if he could have sex with her first, regardless of her answer. Not to derail the thread but what you said there is really stupid. I ain't trying to be mean but really think about that for a moment. firstly it was obviously a facetious comment. Secondly comparing forcing someone to dance for a few seconds to annoy them to rape is rather absurd. OT: Honestly I don't mind King too much. He usually has more excitement for the show than either Cole or JBL. His jokes range from funny-harmless and trying to defend, some of the, actions by the faces of today's WWE must be difficult. Plus his just a familiar voice who has a wealth of experience. Some of the things he says about women is a bit outdated but considering his age and the fact that most of them are light-hearted it doesn't bother me at all. (Not to mention they are usually said towards Divas who are mainly there for sex appeal anyway)

"He's like the minister of sinister." What I came here to post. After a superb promo from Wyatt this idiot says that and ruins the whole thing. Your time is up, Lawler. Please f*** off forever.
