Is it just me?

He has had a few lines that have been hilarious like the "the ever dangerous shopping cart" line and just seems really cynical on the product tonight, it's pretty funny.

Yeah.  The announcing has been horrible tonight.  Maybe JR would rather be on Smackdown.

Well, with the Paddle match coming up, you know Lawler's announcing isn't getting any better.

The best line of the night had to have been when J.R. came up with a solution to get Vince out of the ring:

 

'Pepper spray his ass'

 

I just about died.

I think it's JR's way of telling us (the fans in general) he knows Hardcore is cliche and repetitive and so is Vince and so is everything other than RVD, Booker, and Eddy (who he put over strong) on Raw.

Horrible?

 

I thought JR was really on tonight.  He had a ton of funny lines.

 

Better than him screaming "government mule" and "scalded dog" over and over again all show...

I thought speaking as a whole was on tonight. The Vince-Flair-Austin segment was really good to me. JR is still the best in the WWF. I like it bette rwhen he gets a little sarcastic, then the King can oversell things and it cracks me up.

Maybe he hates wrestling.

Yeah, even his tone of voice was a little darker for most of the show. A cynical JR could be a good thing, I think, enabling Lawler to become less one-dimensional/puppies-oriented. We'll see.

God knows JR needs a change of direction. I'd love him to be more cynical and mocking.

Posted

Maybe he was on the rag.  I'll check the Ross Report to see.

CLASSIC JR LINE:

 

SURVIVOR SERIES 1999 during Snow/Mankind vs. NAO

 

JR: Mankind gave Al snow head last thursday on smackdown.

 

JL: WHAT?!?!?! JR how dare you.....

LOL oh man that classic, it be great if JR just broke kayfabe and pointed out all the blown spots and junk.

Did anyone understand his reason for calling Undertaker Booger Red?

Posted

The best line JR said was when Buh Buh got out the oranges during the hardcore match.

 

"Oh no, not the citrus." Or something like that, I laughed my ass off.

Not me.

 

Even Lawler was perplexed at JR's explanation.

 

Lawler: His hair's not red.

 

JR: It used to be.

 

His emphasis on the word "wrestling" gave me high hopes... that came  crashing down like Icarus once the Paddle on the Pole match was announced. Why must you tease us so?!?

Did anyone notice that JR called Brock a "white rhino"?  There was a thread here recently about what animal will JR call Lesnar.

 

WTF does a white rhino look like, anyway?

Guest notJames
Posted

Didn't notice... I'll watch the tape again tonight. But a white rhino would like just like a regular one... just, um, white.

 

Maybe he'll start calling him the Albino Rhino  ;)

 

Of course, if/when rhYno comes back, this could complicate things for JR, a la mistaking the two Canadian Chrises.

I liked JR last night.  He was announcing like a pissed off old man and it was a nice change for him.
