Vic Joseph and Booker T sounds strange as f*** though and not entirely in a good way. Rly hope Booker doesn't bring his preshow panel energy to commentary, cause I feel like every time I catch one of those dude is grumpy as f*** getting stuck on rly weird things. Booker when Jerry Lawler or whoever cracks open their free Monster Energy products.  He's nice to Jerry cause Jerry is usually the only one on the panel that's even crabbier than he is, but the guest panelists tho? Oh my god dude if they even sneeze wrong Booker shoots them a "please die" look. |

Wade/Cole could be alright, but the other two just sounds awful

Some of these seem like changes for the sake of change, honestly, but it's good to see Cathy Kelley back.
I could be overthinking this, but you've got Patrick on RAW and Barrett on SD, wondering if this is a way for them to appeal more to European audiences. I wonder what happens when Pat comeback, too. Does Barrett just go away? Seems odd.

Hopefully Kevin Patrick is finally the answer for Raw's commentary team because nothing's really clicked there in recent years. Byron Saxton. Tom Phillips. Jimmy Smith. Remember Adnan Virk? Even Mace got a turn for a while.
Some of them were "okay" but I never felt any of them had the gravitas, for lack of a better word, to be the lead announcer for a major show. They felt like Main Event/Superstars lead guys. I love what I've heard of Kevin Patrick so hopefully he nails it and is the permanent solution.

I liked Jimmy Smith a lot so that’s unfortunate. Is Kevin Patrick good? What has he been calling?

Poor Wade. I’m afraid I've got some bad news. No more Toxic Attraction, for you.

I love that WWE (pre-Vince Retirement) has tried like six times to get a guy from another sport on commentary and it keeps not working.
But they still kept f***ing doing it.

I think Jimmy was more than capable and would have continued to get better over time, but who knows what was going on behind the scenes. |

This mostly sounds pretty good. I’m happy with the focus on two man booths (three commentators has never really worked for me), happy to see Cathy back, Wade belongs on the main roster, intrigued for Kevin Patrick (and it’ll be nice for him not having to crouch down for interviews), and I’m glad Byron will stick around because I’ve grown to love the goof.
The only major negative is Booker returning - he could be fun at times but he was also pretty abysmal at times.

Bless Adnan Virk for trying to make the best out of being put in a total fish out of water position but oh my god dude might as well have been the man from Mars. Like I'm still wondering why dude yelled PARDON ME WHILE I UNLOAD one week and I'm not sure I even wanna know cause I enjoy the mystery. |

I didn't like Jimmy but that's a little sad to see him go. Also bring Beth back on commentary you cowards

I love Booker on commentary so I’ll have to watch more NXT. Sad the Byron won’t be on commentary anymore but he’s a good backstage announcer. Wonder what will happen once McAffe is back?

I was one of the few Jimmy Smith fans. I thought he had great enthusiasm and I can't recall him ever saying something stupid or slipping up. Didn't bring any memorable calls but I thought he was doing well. At least this means no more Byron/Graves bickering which even dialed back was already old.
Gonna miss Wade/Vic so much. But I'm glad Wade is getting a promotion and I'm curious how he gels with Cole.
Vic/Booker is either going to be amazing or a terrible clash lmao. I always loved Booker on commentary, even at his worst, so at least it won't be boring!

Give me Insane Commentary Booker that was on RAW who refused to accept reality presented to him. "Jason Jordan and his ILLEGAL TACTICS!" |
