At Starrcast it was announced that Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, and Excaliber will be the main team, but they have to wait for Schiavone to finish up other commitments first. In the meantime, they will be rotating between Goldenboy and Alex Marvez.

I have only heard bits of the commentary but it sounded smoother with this trio. JR also had a ton of passion which is great to hear.

I hate to say it but JR is the weak link. I'd rotate him and Schiavone every so often. Look I know it's Jim Ross, but yeah...would much rather see Tony in that role. JR just seems so crotchety all the time. Like he's just waiting to snap at someone who may correct him. He still thinks the U comes after the G in enzuigiri.

I liked all three, JR fumbles a bit at times but that's always been part of his charm. Comes accross as a real person calling what he sees, somehow makes things feel more real, helps you get lost in the action.
Plus even in the attitude era it was better having your uncool grandpa call the action than an uncool guy trying to convince you what you're watching is hip. JR is just being JR, watching what you are and calling it how he sees it and I love it

Hes awesome. I just wish he and Excalibur were it. J.R. just sounds like someone's cranky dad shitting on the show these days.

I liked him, at times I couldn't tell the difference between him and Excalibur, but i'm sure with more exposure to him that will go, but overall I thought he was a lot better than Marvez.
