Why is the Raw announce team doing PPVs now? I think that is the worst main announce team that WWE has ever had, and yet you have MR & The King who are actually trying to bring some excitement into the product on Smackdown, and they don't get to call the PPVs. There is no way that the Raw announce team helps keep viewers every Monday night, because they often lead me to turning Raw off every Monday as of late.
Do you like the current Raw announce team?

Everyone knows the Raw team is the drizzling sh*ts. Mauro is amazing. Everything he does is going to continue to be better than everything that happens without him. Heel King is also comfortably better than whatever the  JBL tries to do out there each week, and Byron actually talks on Smackdown. It's not even close. |

They just don't care anymore, and King is kind of a heel now, so putting him in there with JBL and Cole would make Cole the only babyface, and no one actually considers Cole a babyface.
Byron is absolutely miserable out there, and it's got a lot more to do with Vince and company being in his ear than it does him, because he was perfectly tolerable on NXT. He's not a great commentator, but he's also not nearly as bad as WWE programming makes him out to be. JBL is atrocious, and has been for the entirety of his second run at the desk.
The biggest issue I had last night was taking the most talented commentator they have to choose from and putting him out there for what essentially amounted to 15 minutes before shoving him off for Cole. It didn't do anyone any favors. It made Cole sound worse than he already does, because he's so blatantly inferior to Mauro. Putting them back to back just further ingrains that in people's minds.

Mauro sounded great on the Pre-show. I think Mauro will eventually take over RAW and become a legend — and I'm talking on JR's level. He's that good, but it's going to take time...

They've been wanting to get Lawler off commentary for a while now, to the point now where he is strictly calling Smackdown. They're getting Mauro on as much as they can but he won't be replacing Cole anytime soon.

Mauro NEEDS to be commentating on RAW and PPVs.

I can't stand the Raw announcers. SmackDown is better with Mauro but still needs improving.
Call me old school, but I always preferred two man commentating teams with one impartial guy who calls the action and either a face or heel color guy who keeps the storylines moving within the match context. My ideal team would Mauro with a 90s style heel Lawler on color (not the 2010s version who has to grunt and groan along with the wrestlers whenever they do a power move or take a hard hit).

Taking away lawler is the best decision they've made. His commentary is so dated and cringeworthy.

Lawler has been fantastic since he turned heel. It's just like old times and Mauro is simply amazing those guys should be on Raws.
Also it's embarrasing to think that Saxton now gets to call PPV's its totally undeserved.

I hate the Raw announce team. Mauro & Jerry Lawler should call PPVs.

Mauro and Lawler should call everything. As long as Lawler is a heel.

Michael Cole is the brown stain on the underpants of the world.
All he is is Vinnie Mac's mouthpiece

It's just a shining example of the job economy and the world today. Mauro is better then MOST announcers WWE has ever had, you'd have to be deaf to not be able to hear that this guy is great at what he does and EXCEEDINGLY better then anybody currently....and yet Bryon Saxton is part of the PPV announce team but not Mauro....WHY is that??
Because Mauro is better at his job he can't join the team yet...until Michael Cole decides he's done road blocking the announce position which clearly CLEARLY Mauro should have.
I forgot, because WWE has been complacent with mediocrity for 10 years, Michael Cole has had a job....I hope we have an empty chair moment of silence when he decides to hang it up. What a gift to the airwaves he's been.....smh

I guess I'm in the minority of people that finds Mr. Mauro "Retweet City" Ranallo to be annoying? He sounds like an American John McCririck. I liked having Cole back on SmackDown that one time last week.
I still enjoy Lawler, Cole and JBL. While Byron Saxton just takes up space on both Raw and SmackDown. Half the time he goes silent and I forget he's there... then he'll say something completely stupid or make an "ohhh!" noise when someone hits a big move.

In terms of commentary, Mauro & Josh Barnett can make almost year old replays of New Japan Pro-Wrestling more entertaining with their commenting then JBL, Cole & Saxton can do. That says something, that two guys just watching a video providing a voice over can do a better job than three guys in person.
That said, Mauro needs to be on Raw. And it needs to be two commentators, a clear face and a clear heel. That's a proven method that works.
