Who knew a situation would arise where in a 3 person commentary team, Cole was the best?
How'd we get there? WTF?

Sorry, I like JBL. And even better than that I like people doing impressions of JBL, like Cena did tonight.
He's the best guy they have on commentary right now.

I like when he's a heel, because even when he's irritating and shouting about things it's at least getting the desired reaction from me. But when he's marking out for Los Matadores and What's Upping with R-Truth and verbally fellating John Cena, I can't stand him.

It hit me tonight he's become Matt Striker but with the support of Vince McMahon. All the stupid name calling, the "Look I have Google" name dropping, and always trying to get the last word, classic Striker. There are times it works for me and times it doesn't.

He was better during his first stint on commentary a few years ago.
I don't think he's terrible now but he's not good.

I wish they could develop an intelligent heel commentator.
But there was only one Bobby the Brain.

He has three problems.
1- Repetitiveness. He doesn't need to say "Mrs Fandando" or "OLE" or "what's up" every single week 2- Volume. He's just way too loud. 3- Timing. He talks over the other commentators, making the announcing a mess.

Once again, a heel commentator efficiently works people...
... and once again, I expect people to quote this post and claim "Nuh uh, he's not making me hate him the way I want him to!"

For me, he's not quite Heel Michael Cole levels of obnoxious...but he's getting damn close. Heel Cole was entertaining at first and then got worse. JBL has been awful since his comeback.

Hell I'll bite on the "he's working you" silliness.
Half the time he's not even working a heel gimmick, and is cheering along with faces: Matadores, Truth, etc.
There is a time when he's supporting the Authority, which would be fine, except it's so surrounded by him saying just utter nonsense at high volume.
The Striker comparison was spot on.
He CAN be a good heel commentator, but he's not right now.

He's a heel/color commentator. If he annoys you then he's doing his job.

He's a heel/color commentator. If he annoys you then he's doing his job. There's a difference between a heel who inspires the desired responses from the audience, and a heel who makes the audience want to change the channel

There's a difference between a heel who inspires the desired responses from the audience, and a heel who makes the audience want to change the channel I've never bought this "change the channel heel" argument. Firstly, because I think it's a fine line we're talking about. Secondly, because the same people always seem to be complaining about it every week. They're not actually leaving the product.

He's a heel/color commentator. If he annoys you then he's doing his job. By that logic, every week he could hum badly for three hours straight, and it'd be ok, because it annoys people and is therefore effective heel work.

He's not as good as he was and definitely isn't as funny as he thinks he is but I enjoy most of the random off topic/on topic crap he says and the strange banter he has with the other two. He wakes me up in a way unlike before where the announcers were too on script,cliche and gimmicky.

I mostly find him irritating, but when they came back from Bryan getting his ass kicked by the Wyatts, and Cole and King were both shocked by it and JBL right away brings up how that's what happens when you show disrespect to legends, that was comedy gold.
