I want Mauro Ranallo back on NXT

[koreycaskets]

I know on this board he has his haters but I really miss him on NXT commentating. Even if they brought him back just for Take Overs which I assume HHH will bring back as well hopefully.

I like Vic and Wade's chemistry.

[Mozenrath]

I wouldn't mind him, even his inane moments don't bother me that much.

I do not think he'd come back in any fulltime capacity, though. It just seems to have been a really bad environment for him, and the grind is a lot.

Yeah, Vic and Wade are the best damn commentary team in WWE.

Wouldn't mind him for big matches or even PPVs, don't know if he'll ever do full time again given how much it seemed to effect him.

MAMMA MIA!

Even though they make fun of each other sometimes, you get the feeling Wade would Bullhammer anyone who tries to mess with Vic.

Honestly would rather see him replace someone on the main roster like Graves. Because Corey Graves is absolutely wretched on commentary.

I don't care that some people seemed to hate him, I loved the dude. He was great. I hope he would come back.

Replace Jimmy Smith who I’m super down on. He’s just so ordinary compared to Reinvigorated Cole and the fun duo of Vic and Wade. His horrible understated calls of Dakota and Io coming out at SummerSlam kind of wrote him off for me, and he had to be saved by Corey showing he cared a little.

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

MAMA MIA!!!

[Instant Classic]

Never really cared for him that much. The dynamic they have with Vic and Wade is great.

Graves was a lot worse in my opinion, where he was screaming about how Iyo was outmatched in the high flying department in her match with Bianca (although that match was poorly booked in general) and how Dakota and Iyo are rookies, despite five minutes earlier saying they were seasoned veterans.

[Hypnosis]

He went overboard with the pop culture references, but was clearly enthusiastic about his job.

Though I'm still fine with Vic and Barrett anyway.

Never understood why Vince seemed to hate him so much. He should've been given the Raw job right after Cole went to SD, but instead Vince decided to throw Vic (as well as Dio) to the wolves for some reason.

I always liked him. He could be over the top but at least it sounded like he cared unlike most of the other commentators who end up being main stays.

As far as NXT goes though I like the Vic and Wade team and don't think it needs additions or either of them getting replaced. They have the old school straight man play by play guy and heel color dynamic that I've always thought works for a commentary team.

The only person I wouldn't mind seeing added to the NXT team is Beth! She clicked with Vic and Wade pretty well.

I loved him. In a time where Michael Cole et al were essentially Vince's marionettes, he had a real distinct flavor.

Vic has grown a lot on me, but I was not a fan of the change at the time.

I liked Beth. I don't think losing her was a huge loss but she definitely didn't detract from the commentary either as I thought she was a good face foil for Wade especially with the Index stuff.
