it's always awkward with 3 people And that's why Tyson Kidd hide's his marriage and tells his Dump Matsumoto sex doll Natalya is just a friend

Dio was good. For a guy a month on the job he didn't sound too out of place
Vic and Dio had good nights imo but King, good lord it was just the same old shit he has been doing

Same. Pre-Attitude Lawler who relied on wit rather than sexual innuendo was incredible.

My biggest problem with him was that he used a few one liners that he used pre-Attitude era. That's the biggest problem with using heel colour commentators who use one liners - they've all got a limit. Some have a lot more material than others (King was one of them, but he exhausted his material a long time ago), and some manage to extend theirs by having great chemistry (Heenan the perfect example). Apparently the third voice on the Raw desk is going to change at least once, and cycling the booth has upsides (trying people out, keeping it fresh, not letting the third guy get stale), but has it's downsides too (no time to build chemistry, bringing in guys who are already stale won't ever feel fresh). Having Lawler in there isn't the worst thing in the world, as it means that he'll inevitably attract all the negative attention, and allow Dio to find his feet, as he's still learning the ropes.

The new commentator guys are just copy/paste of Michael Cole anyways.
They're all Cole clones.

I would much rather have MJF, Booker T, or Montez Ford take over the spot for Dio Maddin if Dio Maddin doesn't show improvement in the weeks ahead. MJF should have been acquired a long time ago. MJF seems like an extraordinarily random choice to put in here. Am I missing something? Like, in 2007 this post would be like 'I wish they would add Shark Boy, Tazz or Cody Rhodes.'

Stone Cold Shark Boy on commentary pretty much would have saved the Spike deal single-handedly and EVERYONE knows it.

Was him ragging om Stu and Helen Hart at ringside during that time? That was hilarious.

Was he any better today because I didn't get a chance to watch? He was still jumping in with his same old jokes before anyone could form a thought but for the most they seem to ignore him or let him get his line off before moving on. Though he better be thank Vic for saving butt when he wasn’t paying attention and the ladies took over the announce table.

Yea, they started doing that in the middle of the show last week and probably going keep doing that moving forward since King is basically just doing what he wants Vic and Dio I don't think are bad, they have to get comfortable but can only do so with the reps
