I will say, they have the best set of ring announcers they've had in decades

Interesting to see how Barrett gets on with Cole. McAfee was a big loss so hopefully Barrett fills his shoes well.
Great to see Cathy Kelley back and interested to see how Patrick does on Raw. Booker on NXT is also going to be fun.

That NXT pairing sounds like my own personal nightmare.

Man, if Vic thought dealing with Wade was hard (kayfabe). He's now got Booker T who will probably be just be over the top on commentary 🤣

The saddest thing about all this is unless a draft happens and we get extremely lucky, no more Wade thirsting over Pretty Deadly, Toxic Attraction, and Duke Hudson.

Jimmy wasn't terrible but he was the definition of THERE. I'm glad Byrons off just so Graves can f***ing stop lambasting him every week for no reason, that's bee old and I'm glad it's done.
Cole/Barrett sounds fine, Graves/Kevin SHOULD be ok though I've worn thin on Graves. Booker/Vic sounds insane, I've lost a lot of good will with Booker for his shitty podcast takes lately but he should fit right in with NXT's insanity

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. They may have wanted to change Jimmy's days again and he didn't want to screw over Sirius XM with another schedule change. I think Sirius is paying him more and his show is pretty fun

Never really been a fan of 3 person teams. Always felt commentary gels better when you have 2 people that have good chemistry together. The only 3 person team i ever thought that really worked was Vic, Wade and Beth Pheonix. They played off each other really well.
Would have thought Vic would have been the better choice for Raw. Has Kevin Patrick actually done any on screen commentary? Genuine question because i don't watch any of the online shows.
Going to be interesting to see how each show does with these new teams. Booker back on commentary is certainly a choice.

SD and NXT are good changes..how Pat fits back in when he returns will be interesting...guessing Booker on NXT is only temporary.
Raw's team is either gonna be tolerable or the dirt f***ing worst..can we get rid of graves please I would rather Byron instead of Graves.

Kevin Patrick also does Main Event with Bryon Saxton and he's pretty good.

Why is WWE doing this? I liked the teams as is. Jimmy Smith was pretty good but Kevin Patrick has been great on Main Event so I don't mind him getting a shot at calling Raw with Corey Graves. I love Wade Barrett being moved to Smackdown with Michael Cole. I can’t stand Booker T on commentary for NXT with Vic Joseph. He will destroy the product. They should have used Nigel McGuiness since he's already there doing Level Up. Interviewers don't matter to me so I don't care who they use. .

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!" He needs to bring back Black Snow for NXT. RAW sounds dreadful yo..but Smackdown could work

I already largely fast forward NXT anyway, now I have to keep the bits I actually do watch on mute? F***ing hell. Go away, Booker.
