Thank the lord. Hopefully at the end of summer it will turn in to the end of fall...and then the end of winter, and then the end of summer again, and then Otunga goes to pre-show stuff...while Booker stays on RAW

While I'm not a huge fan of Booker on commentary, id much rather see him than Otunga, so I'm ok with this.

This is kinda like trading poison ivy for a mild rash honestly. Welp maybe one of those days he'll actually go through with it and bitch slap Cole.

Still don't think they need a third man, but good for Booker.

Still don't think they need a third man, but good for Booker. eh, at this point im so used to it it doesnt bother me..... the problem is their execution. commentators dont have character anymore, they are all over the place and are pretty much just salesman at this point. they dont sell a match or a character, they just sell network subscriptions and "history" EVERYTHING is "historic!", every match is amazing, everyone is a former world champion.....the entire point of wwe commentary is over-selling everything, making everything seem bigger and more important than the reality, and making sure the "dumb fans" at home know who is who. Treating your show like everyone watching is watching for the first time ever in their life. The ideal situation on RAW is having Booker be the good guy, Graves being the bad guy and Cole being the middle guy. Smackdown is JBL bad, Byron good, Tom middle. The balance of that gives the audience perspective on each wrestler from different points of view. But instead we get JBL loving Jinder, but then also saying "maaaaan that Randy Orton is something amazing isnt he! the legend!" and then Byron is allowed to like a few guys, but mostly he gets shot down with everything he says so if im watching the show and the 3 guys who are supposed to be helping the stories and characters of the show im watching don't even know what they want....how am i supposed to know? the WWE is incredibly good at confusing the ing crap out of their audience.

Booker T ruins Raw for me.
I can't understand what he is saying half the time.
Michael and Cory, Tom and Byron. That is all you need for Raw and Smackdown for commentary.

Still don't think they need a third man I'm really hoping they bring back to the two man announce team again but for reasons I'll never understand Vince seems hell bent on having three.

I don't get the hate for 3 men announce teams. They were awesome back in the 90's.

Otunga has claimed that the edge of the apron, the posts, and the corners were at least one time apiece, so take your pick. I don't get the hate for 3 men announce teams.

I hope Saxton makes some fat-ass paychecks, 'cuz there's no way I'd put up with JBL yelling at me for whatever I said as often as he did.
