its pretty well known that commentary is dead. what we have now is basically just one long 3 hour ball washing & advertising from whoever is on the headsets.
they are being told what to say from the back instead of actually using their own skills same with most wrestler promos now
it's one of the worst things to ever happen in wrestling. once this company decided it wanted to get rid of EVERYTHING REAL and NATURAL, it became just another hollywood produced assisted reality TV show.
Jericho talked about it recently on a radio interview. So did Ross. Back in the day, guys were allowed to work their OWN material. Which is why Rock...Austin, etc. were so successful. Now, everything is written by hollywood reject "writers" who think poop jokes and "im gonna beat you this sunday!" are witty exciting and amazing talking points.
The actual idea of commentary in the WWE is non-existent, because to them (the people in power) it's more important to mention twitter, the app, the network, the next show, and also telling the "stupid viewers" that _____ is a former world champion, or explaining who is who in the ring every week.

Still, it seems Cole has just lost his passion. He's so monotone and boring and kills the moment for me. I wouldnt say he's completely monotone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I swear, some people here must be reading my mind. The promos we hear these days sounds forced and scripted. It is sad the only bit of WWE TV I can follow nowadays is NXT. RAW has been background noise in my room for a couple of weeks now.

I think Cole can be decent but there is so much garbage in the way... Actually he and JBL have solid chemistry to me... King is totally done though.

I think Cole is miserable on current day commentary. Hell on the leaked SD from May he says "Do you want me to say that every time, because I've said it a crapload of times tonight." We don't hear Vince's reply, but we do hear Cole's cowed reaction: "OK...yes sir...yes sir...OK, I've got it sir." This doesnt sound like a man that is just so happy and thrilled Wow interesting. Didn't know that.

Didn't know that. Yeah, it shocked me as well. I wonder if the leaked video is still on YouTube. There's a couple that have been leaked.

the only time I really enjoyed Cole was when he went super heel and had that feud with Jerry Lawler
other than that period, he is bad... He is always calling wrong moves and worse wrong names!

I gotta agree. I feel it's just the aging. I feel JBL is still but Cole and Lawler are old records. I mean Lawler hasn't been that great on commentary since 2008 at best. It just gets old even hearing JR isn't the same during his few matchs he commentated in 2012. I feel they need new annoucers for the WWE. And Lawler and Cole are already as singles are old records. But as duo they are even more even if JBL is in their. Cole and Lawler have been paired together one way or another since the 08 draft in June of that year.

Can you explain what happened!?!! Huh. Sounds like he's an asskisser, which is understandable, I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, but I bet it gets in the way of doing his job with passion.

You ENJOYED that? Really? Are you a masochist? lol. That was a dark time for commentary. Honestly I wish for the WWE network they'd upload Raw with a no commentary version. That'd be perfect.
