Nope. He needs to stick to Raw. Why can't they just do Mauro, Phillips, Saxton on Smackdown and Graves, Cole, Booker on Raw. Is it that bad, when WWE creative can even book what teams are on commentary? This dilutes the brand split in my mind. IDIOTS. ROAD DOGG!!!!!!

I'm a fan of Corey's so I will say yes. In actuality, if you are going to do a brand split, he needs to stick to a singular brand. I would actually keep him on Smackdown, though. I think him and Phillips (and to a lesser extent Saxton) have a good rapport.

In fact this week after watching "comercials" for both shows on the other brand, I couldn't understand why he doesn't do a segment each week highlighting the main story lines for the other show.

He is good but it makes no sense to have a brand split and then share any announcers.

He’s that good. Not saying he’s Bobby Heenan, but man I’m glad at least his heyday was pre-internet forums.
Better question: why is anyone not named Corey Graves (except for Tom Phillips) on *either* brand?

I don't ever need to see him paired with Saxton ever again thank you.

It was him or Cole. Pick your poison.

With how many announcer types WWE employs, there's no excuse for any show (even NXT and 205, looking at you Nigel) to be sharing announcers and/or interviewers.

SAXTON: "Corey's living on a fantasy farm right now!"
GRAVES: "...that sounds like a website you visit, Saxton!"
He can stay.

I'm wondering the same thing.
Guy is massively overrated and a try hard. I don't need him stinking up two shows, let alone one.

Look the alternative was Otunga on commentary again and NOBODY wants that.

He's good but such a suck up to Cole and WWE in general. A guy like Ventura would rip Coleto shreds. I like Cole better than back in the day but they treat him like he's not a geek when he is and Booker T ends up getting picked on.

Am I the only one who thinks he has a job because of a sickly resemblance to Vanilla Ice, and that VKM and Kevin Dunn think this will bring in the hip hop crowd?

It's basically that it's him or Otunga and Otunga is awful.

They should throw a ton of money to Austin Aries and get him to replace Corey on either Raw or Smackdown.
