Guest NitroJMS Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Just got home from seeing RAW live at the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh. First of all, let me say that RVD is a great guy. After the show, I took my 12-year-old cousing to wait by the security gate where the wrestlers typically have their cars parked. Everytime we've done this in the past, the guys have always just hopped in the cars and left. Well tonight, RVD came over and gave my cousin his wrist bands/tape from the night (she was holding an RVD sign), then signed an autograph for a girl in a wheelchair who was next to us. The crowd then proceded to chant "thanks" and "RVD." He really made our night. Also, I don't know if anyone's ever noticed this at a live event before, but during the tables match, JR was oddly rocking back and forth very quickly. It looked like he was having some sort of attack. His head was going down almost to the desk and then he'd bob half way back up and kept repeating this over and over. Maybe he was just checking his monitor? Has anyone seen this happen before?

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Watching some old WCW PPV's, I've noticed that JR does tend to rock back and forth quite a bit at times, but for reasons I'm not sure of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Yeah from what I noticed at the now notorious Louisville house show this past week was that the ECW guys (RVD, Dudleys) are easily the best at working a crowd and getting the audience into a match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BifEverchad 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 His time has come, where he has to realize that he is no longer NEEDED on WWE TV. He should continue his career in the office, where he will later finish it. But who should replace JR is the question? This all reminds me of when Johnny decided to retire from the Tonight Show, and everyone was wondering who was gonna stand up to the challenge. Who was gonna be good enough to replace a legend. Not saying that JR is actually a 'legend', but he was great at one time. But that time is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insane Bump Machine 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Joey Styles could do it, if they pay him what he wants. He's even more annoying than Ross. At first they should try to establish a replacement for Lawler and see if JR improves again if he has an actual color guy next to him. If that doesn't work they can worry about a new PBP. The problem, of course, is the fact that WWE doesn't seem to think that their commentating has problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 JR is rumored to be a chain smoker. So going two hours on Raw and three hours on PPV's without nicotine is a bitch. Probably the reason he twitches, fumbles his words and is always acting crazy like he's losing his train of thought. Withdrawl will do that to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ManKinnd Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Stephen Quadros has applied to be a WWE announcer. Of course, Vince has no idea who Stephen "Best announcer in the world today" Quadros is... Best announcer in the world?! Bwahahahahahha. Quadros is terrible, and has never brought any insight to any Pride match I've seen. Instead he rambles off irrelevant dribble to poor Bas, that's if he can ever finish his thought. There's no defending of Quadros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Well what Pride's have you seen? His Pride 25 announcing was the best announcing I have ever heard in anything. Doesn't bring insight? Poor Mankinnd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 They were testing the waters with Coach. Given that they pulled JR back before he was scheduled means that Coach didn't get a positive review; but given that Coach is still working for the company, they probably think "he'll grow into it", as if the last 3 years haven't been enough time.

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Honestly, when Lawler isn't there and JR ends up doing the commentary by himself (like say in the last TLC match that was on RAW a while back) he's quite good still. Anytime he tries to elaborate though, the King always says something insanely pointless. Although I did enjoy JR's mini rant on the thong the other night. "I'd probably put it on backards!" with "backards" being his version of "backwards" of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
