I guess I may be the only one NOT in favour of this. I think Renee is horrible on the announce table calling matches. She is good at the pre-show stuff, but not commentary. I get that this is only being done too because of the women's PPV coming up. A year from now if Renee Young is still on commentary on Raw, I will be surprised. You're not alone my friend.

Not really a fan of this move at all. I don't think she is the best fit for the role, and this just screams of shoehorning a woman into something so they can say they have a female commentator.

She was god awful last week on Raw. It was as if she was lost for words a lot of the time and there just didn't seem to be any passion in her commentating.
She was quite good her first night so I can only hope that she was having a bad day.

I think Vince enjoys the 3 person booth because he can have 2 out of the 3 to gang up on one at times and bully them. And Vince loves bullying.... also, don't be a bully, be a star!

Very True. Just look at all the times he bullied J.R.

I still watch the big 4s(tradition sake) and my God is the announcers today awful. Cole has always been bad, Graves is a sorry excuse for a heel commentator, Saxton and Phillips are bland as hell with no personality whatsoever and Coach like Cole was never good to begin with. Just terrible all around.

I don't think this has anything to do with her being a woman. I don't think this has anything to do with the Evolution PPV coming up. I doubt it's about them making "history". I think this has to do with the fact that Cole, Coach, & Corey did NOT mesh well at all. They had no chemistry. And the two times Renee filled in, it's been an upgrade on many levels.
I do like the idea of Coach doing the PPV panels. It's similar to Coach's role on Sports-Center. But I also think he should have moved to SD to take Corey's spot.

Well, the good thing about not watching the weekly TV shows anymore is that I won't have to hear her on commentary. Really, I think she's a fantastic interviewer and a fantastic panelist, but commentator? She just reminds me of Matt Striker and he sucked too. Yes, it's an upgrade over Coach, but they could have brought a blow-up doll to put in the booth and it would have been better than Coach.

I’ve never enjoyed her on commentary or as an announcer, there’s just something annoying about her IMO.

Coach should go to SD. I really enjoyed em back in the Ruthless Aggression era.

She's okay at commentating definitely not as great as people make her out to be.

I thought Renee did phenomenal tonight. She clearly has good chemistry with both Cole and Graves. Such a breath of fresh air not hearing Coach ramble on about nothing or giving us vocabulary lessons like a middle school English teacher.
The longer Coach is off my TV, the better.
Of course, people are going to say “SHE ONLY GOT IT BECAUSE SHE’S A WOMAN! WOMEN’S WRESTLING IS SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS!” and all this other sexist nonsense. But it’s okay to be wrong, sometimes.

It’s also marks the first time in history the wwe universe reacts to the first female announcer in history.

Why couldn’t she take Michael Coles spot? He literally interrupts her so much. Like it was fine with Cole cause he was saying crap that didn’t make sense but she’s trying to talk about logical things and then he just shouts over like Renee - Begins intellectual comment* Cole - “Blah blah SORRY RENEE BUT OH MY GOD HE SLAMMED HIM TO THE MAT”

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I do think it's a little naive to think that she got this gig based purely on merit. We can all speculate til the cows come home, but a very plausible scenario is that Coach quite frankly wasn't working out (because he's horrible to begin with) and they are riding the coat tails of a whole female (r)evolution that it made perfect sense for Renee. I don't like Renee based on her history here in Toronto on our local sports network, but I can't argue that she doesn't cease her opportunities. Secured a job at WWE, secured a top draw as a hubby, and is now taking advantage of an opportunity which her company is more than happy for her to take because it bolsters their need to make "history".
