This really doesn't have to do with Jericho alone, so I figured this doesn't go in the Save_Us or RAW threads.
JR and Lawler have become a horrible announcers team and last night proved to me that they are bar none the worst in the WWE. After rewatching Jericho's return again, the reaction JR and Lawler gave was just ridiculous. It was honestly like they knew that we all knew it was Jericho all along, so they didn't even bother pretending to care or even get excited over it. There was no classic mark out moment from JR like he used to do back in the Attitude era or anything. It was just terrible and I honestly believe JR's reaction would have made Jericho's return so much more enjoyable.
It's not even just last night, either. It's the fact that neither of them have any idea how to call a match or bother to learn any of the moves. I honestly feel like I'm watching an episode of Nitro from 1997, where Schiavone, Zybsko, Tenay and Hennan spent two full hours babbling about the nWo trying to sell storylines without even paying attention to any of the matches. To an extent, this is good, but JR and Lawler do it all the time now. They never bother to pay attention to any of the moves or what's going on. It's like everything they read is directly off a sheet of paper in front of them. They might as well just turn the announcer's table around with JR and King's backs facing the action in the ring because I guarantee you there would be no difference in the way they call any of the matches.
It's just terrible announcing...Cole and JBL are by far the best team in the WWE right now, followed by Styles and Tazz and then a VERY distant JR/ King. It's a shame how Lawler and JR have become bland and boring broadcasters. Last night was just the nail in the coffin of both of their careers to me.
/ end rant.
Please discuss.
