personally I think all can be awful at times, I've actually been muting Raw broadcasts lately. I like Mauro Ranallo on NXT cuz at least he is a true play-by-play man

Smackdown. You have 2 guys that sound the same and even Corey can't save it.

I would like Vince McMahon return to commentary. Might as well, since supposedly he's the guy screaming into the announcers earpieces.

Definitely RAW by a mile. Corey Graves is amazing. Michael Cole is mediocre. If Cole didn't overreact at every single move a superstar makes, he would be good. Coach is nonsensical.
SmackDown Live has Corey Graves again, so big plus. Tom Phillips is good. Byron would be good, if he wasn't so deliberately childish.

It's a toss up between Mauro and Cole screaming constantly.

Raw, Corey's great but it always seems like Cole's trying to get himself over and Coach can't decide if he wants to be a face or heel.

None of them are very good, generally. Cole and Graves can be good, but they're often not. Mauro is awful. Percy Watson and Nigel McGuinness should be nowhere near a commentary desk. I don't even remember all the other non-entities on the commentary teams now.

Raw gets my vote Cole has been pretty bad for a long time but he's a brown nose to Vince from what we have heard so hes constantly plugging their stupid key phrases and the network.
And I've never been that impressed with Coach.

Cole sucks and Coach isn't good. especially when he has to have his "one word of the hour" crap

Wouldn’t be fair to vote TNA because I don’t watch, but I’ve never liked Josh Matthews. I don’t know who’s with him either. So, Raw it is. And it’s not because Michael Cole is a bad commentator, he’s very good if he’s simply calling a match (Beast in the East for example) but the way WWE makes their commentators do things is terrible.

All are pretty bad to me. Michael cole has always been terrible to me, corey graves is very annoying and just brings nothing to a match, nobody really helps bring out emotion in a match. I wish bobby hennan was still alive because he could make anyone he worked good.

Michael Cole. Just GTFO already and we might have some half way decent commentary. Even with all of Graves excellence he can't save a commentary team that Cole is part of.

A lot of this comes down to personal preference, because guys like Michael Cole are good at the job they're given to do, which is to promote the brand above all else. I think he'd be a very different commentator if he didn't have Vince breathing down his neck all the time. The same can be said for the rest of those teams.
With that being said, I don't like that style of commentary, and prefer a more sports-like atmosphere, so the Raw and Smackdown crews are pretty much bottom barrel to me. Raw is worse than Smackdown, because I find Cole's voice (and Cole-isms) to be more annoying than Tom, and Coach has become virtually insufferable. He was solid his first couple of weeks back, but it's been a downward spiral ever since, and the alternative (Booker T) is no better.
Can't really stand Corey Graves anymore, either. He was good for a while, but he's become corporate to a fault and the more I see of him, the less I like the guy.
I love NXT commentary and mostly enjoy NJPW commentary (Kevin/Don.) Kevin Kelly is great, but I think Don gets a little too inside baseball a lot.

I liked wwe from 2006-2008
Cole/JBL JR/King
Michael Cole is good when calling wrestling, but when we gotta hear week in and week out that we have “witnessed the most brutal attacking in the history of wwe” and “the greatest match in wwe history” it just sounds ridiculous. Considering we’ve seen far more vicious moments in the past it sounds terrible when we have to hear it every week when a guy gets hit with 2 finisher moves.
