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. Give me Insane Commentary Booker that was on RAW who refused to accept reality presented to him. "Jason Jordan and his ILLEGAL TACTICS!" I hope that there’s one athlete that Booker eviscerates to shreds every week like how he did with Jason Jordan. Vic: “What a crazy maneuver from Ikemen Jiro onto the arena floor!!” Booker T: “I hope his mom kicked herself in the womb when she was pregnant with him….”

CATHY KELLY IM MARKING OUT BRO (Less marking out about the split of Vic and Wade ) Jimmy kind of sucked, so I’m good with that. He simply existed.

Ehh….
Jimmy was fine but forgettable. I can’t stand Patrick’s interviews is he any better on the call? I think Vic should have been promoted to Raw. Booker is just really bad at commentary. Good for Barrett though.

I figured Jimmy Smith wasn't going to last much longer a week or two ago when he seemed to be flubbing everything.

Cole and Barrett should a good team, but I'll miss Barrett getting on Vic's nerves, along with marking out for Toxic Attraction and Duke Hudson on NXT.
Good to hear that Cathy Kelley's returning.

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 mean I liked Mauro until he became a catchphrase machine.

Cool to see Wade getting promoted, I think him and Cole will be good together. I feel bad for Jimmy, but yeah he was just kind of there. Nothing overtly awful but I was never super impressed or anything.

Glad they are getting rid of three man teams as I have never been a fan of those.
Even though I'm glad he's getting promoted I'm sad Barrett is leaving NXT. Of the three shows that's the one I watch the most and I've considered him to be the voice of the show despite being the color commentator as his style really fit the show. Also I'm going to miss him being thirsty for Toxic Attraction all the time. Unless I guess they get called up to Smackdown soon which might be the case with Gigi and Jacy making a few appearances on there recently.

The biggest positive for me is splitting Byron away from Graves. There have been plenty of "fun" arguing commentary teams in wrestling, but hoo boy were Graves and Saxton not among them.
Booker is horrible on commentary. Can't we get Stevie Ray instead?

This reminds me of a couple of years ago when Raw, Smackdown, 205 Live and NXT UK all got new announce teams when Smackdown went to FOX. Only one of the teams stuck, though. Cole and Graves were on Smackdown for about sixteen months. The took Mace off of Raw after less than month, then brought Phillips and Saxton back in January, while shipping Vic back to whatever he was calling before the switch.

Making Mace a RAW commentator was such a random ass decision it still doesn't make sense to me. Like if SmackDown's color commentator was Brent Albright instead of Taz one day.

Booker is horrible but I'm guess he is temporary, leaving when Pat returns in a few months. Then Pat takes back the SD seat and Wade returns to NXT.
Sad the next four months of NXT will be garbage though.

Did he relocate to the UK for NXT UK? If so it might be cheaper to keep him there than bring him over to Florida for a few months.

I thought Jimmy Smith did a pretty good job. Don't know why they'd get rid of him. Certainly a better option than Booker T and Kevin Patrick (who seems nice but is just there). I don't know if he's sticking around but he seems like a guy that would do great voicing over documentaries if WWE ever did those again.
