I dont mind Cole for play by play but he is god awful when a big moment occurs. It's like anything has barely happened.
If you can get rid of King and pair JBL/Cole for Raw and Striker/Dawson for SD.
King just needs to be done, I hate to say it but I wish he would have just stayed at home after his heart attack

I was watching the Raw from April 1998 when Stone Cold s up Bret Hart's knee and Shawn Michaels had to keep coming in and saving him from the Hart Foundation last night and could believe how much worse King is now. When you see something get worse gradually over time you don't really notice it, but having gone back and watched it when he was good at his job, man I was sick to my stomach about his terrible quality now.

Both are terrible especially their laughing at things they find funny. Instead of letting the crowd react to funny promos, they have to inject their laughter into it. If they want to laugh then their headsets should be muted.

Jerry was entertaining back in the day when he all for the heels but man hes terrible now, lost all enthusiasm,

I am not a fan of Cole but to say he hasn't improved since he started is ridiculous. Remember ROCK BOTTOM INTO THE DOG POOP! THE DOG POOP! OH MY GOD ROCK BOTTOM INTO THE DOG POOP! ?
King used to be hilariously good on the mic as a heel announcer. As a face he sucks. But he's still the King and can rip off a good one liner here and there. I wish it were still King and JR but we can't have that it seems.

Im not the only one that thinks it, Kevin Kelly remember him? and he worked with him, said that hes the only announcer hes known that hasnt improved.

I go through periods where I think Cole is tolerable to thinking he's down right atrocious. JBL does bring out the best in him though because he treats him like a b*tch and Cole is great in that type of role imo.
King is King. Love King, but man is he just sitting around collecting a paycheck at this point.

King is absolutely terrible and I enjoyed the product infinitely more when he suffered his heart attack and was out of action, so to say.
A week or two ago when Brodus was dancing, King went "ride the pony, ride the pony!" in this annoying high pitched voice. I had to turn off my TV.

I'm not saying the dude is miles better than he was....he still sucks. But he HAS gotten better to a degree. I mean I remember some of the very first announcing he did and it was pretty awful. To me, Cole just doesn't have "it." He doesn't have that special something that makes you really have an emotional reaction to what's happening in the ring. JR was great at that. Cole is just a warm body capable of stringing sentences together.

Cole is good at what he does. King should favour the heels again, like during the Attitude Era. There aren't many debates between the two as they both just love Cena. There needs to be some arguments and opinion clashes.

Lawler sucks, Cole hasn't been good since he was ONLY on SD. I haven't seen Stanford in a while, JBL is good should be used more than Lawler and Matthews is ok. I don't see the hate for Striker that dude was good!

I don't think Cole is that bad, but Lawler's shitiness definitely rubs off on him.
JBL/Cole is the way to go.

There is this new commentator I don't know his name but he has been commentating NXT and the WWE pre-shows and he is actually really good.

I don't think Cole is as bad as people make him out to be, but maybe I'm just used to him since I've been listening to his commentate since, like, 1998. He's been much more tolerable since Lawler's heart attack when he stopped trying to go out of his way to act like a heel announcer and side with the heels in every single match (not to mention his ridiculous obsession with Miz).
Lawler has been brutal for years now. Not to be a dick but I wish he never came back to announce after his heart attack. JR, Cole and JBL were great as an announcing team. King has had the same ridiculously outdated one-liners for 20 years now and they're just all so lame.

the bit I hate the most is your be watching a match on RAW with the likes of Miz and Antonio cesaro but there be talking about John Cena and The Rock and not really calling the match.

Lawler is better as a heel. I really wish that they'd do an angle where Heyman turned on Punk to get a job as a commentator. Or something. I wish Heyman was the commentator. He has always been my favorite WWE commentator. Maybe make it be Lesnar vs. HHH with HHH having Lawlers job on the line and Lesnar having Heymans. Winner gets the others job and loser is fired.
I can kind of deal with Cole. Only I wish he wouldn't be such a goofball. I wish he was just serious. I preferred it when he was a nerd for what he looked like and what he liked and not because of his personality.

The commentary has been a big reason for my lessened interest in the shows over the past 3 years.
I'd like to see Joey Styles back.
