agreed. I think if JR got that "BAH GAWD" voice going, it would have added a little bit more excitment...imo.

I agree with the return having bad comemntary, but JR needs a heel commentator, like Lawler in 97-04. Seriously. Two face announcers is pathetic.
And Tazz is the worst announcer by far.

For me when JR 'marks out', it makes the moment so much better. He proved at No Mercy this year that he's still got it, bah godding away.
But last night, the Crowd and JR made the Jericho Return moment not half as good as it could have been.

they were very lacking of emotion last night, and it DEFINETLEY put a damper on the moment.

I agree with the fact that JR didn't mark out and have a quote that will be remembered in history.
"Y2J! Y2J! Y2J! HE'S BACK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! STRAP YOURSELF IN! BAH GAWD CHRIS JERICHO IS BACK!"
Something like that could be played on the highlight tape they play before a WWE show starts, along with "STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD!"

I would say actually that JBL and Cole are the worst team. They're the reason I find it difficult to watch Smackdown with the sound on. JBL just contradicts Cole all the time and says stupid things like " [Jobber] has worked his way up to get here, he is at the top of his game here in WWE" to which Cole replies "

The crowd popped huge for the backstage clothesline. Had they scrapped that altogether, I think they're reaction for his actual appearance would have been much greater.

Bull ****, I think the CROWD was terrible last night. Jericho didn't get nearly as big of a pop as I was expecting. Jim Ross is the best wrestling announcer there is, he knows the sport better than any other announcer. If he was allowed to call matches the way he wanted to, I'm sure it would be a lot better. Yeah like when Jeff Hardy hits the Whisper in the Wind and JR shouts "BAH GAWD a twist of fate!" or when he calles Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix. Or The time he called Mickie James, Ashley.

If I could get Joey Styles on play by play and JBL on color commentating for one night, that would be amazing. Preferably for Raw

JR is far and away the worst announcer in the company right now, yes worse than Michael Cole. He's so boring and redundant. You could pretty much guess what he's going to say all night. Do we really need to be reminded how Shelton Benjamin is a former Minnesota Gopher or whatever five times a week? Does he really need to call Jeff the rainbow-haired warrior all night? Even when he gets " pissed off", it's always the same old crap. " Why Randy, why are you doing this?!" After reading Bischoff's book, I hate him even more.

JBL is God because he can take what is happening in a match, and make it into something ing hilarious. JR and King are horrible when it comes to non-main event status matches. They only give a damn when its a high spot. Joey Styles can call a match, thanks to his long time announcing by himself, and even when Cyrus came in Joey conquered the booth. Tazz isnt bad, so ECW's announcing is amazing. I think William Regal should take King's place and a legend or someone really over could take King's place. I have my own opinion about the crowd and Jericho, but thats for another time and another thread

Re-watch Jericho's return. The crowd goes nuts. I don't know if it was the building or what, but the crowd seemed kinda quiet the whole night. Jericho would have gotten twice the pop in most other places.

They should've borrwed Don West for his return. He would've marked out like a 4 year old. Don't belive me? When Homicide does one of his moves to the outside in front of the announce table he (West) always goes crazy (standing up, cheering, screaming etc) & then they give each other highfives. Funny ****. You know what? I said the same thing in the RAW thread last night. Don West and Mike Tenay are so cheesy and corny with their reactions and overdramtic selling, but I'm 100% convinced that even THAT would have been better than JR and Lawler. I'm being totally serious, too...as stupid as those two assclowns are, their reaction would have been so bad in a good way that it would have been priceless.

I wish WWE would have booked Y2J's return in Canada. Sweet Jesus, the pop would have been better than Jericho returning.
Anyways at least King showed some enthusiam, JR on the other hand......

Might as well post it here..... The crowd sucked, not their fault though. WWE events are mostly children. They dont remember who the Chris Jericho is. If anything they remember him as "The guy who was fired and owned by John Cena." If the crowd was full of smarks, Everyone including Jericho himself would be deaf. Since the crowd was/is mostly kids who follow the kayfabe, John Cena's return will be treated as if Jesus came down from heaven and botched a promo. (My point, no matter how Cena comes back he will be cheered and little kids will mark out of the arena) The crowd acted as if Save_Us was Black Reign and he just debuted.
