So who calls the actual Rumble?

If I had a choice it would be Heenan/Monsoon, but that just won't happen. :(

As long as Lawler isn't involved, colour me happy.

 

Or Coachman for that matter.

 

 

Maybe even keep JR off it.

 

Dammit, I hope they give it to Cole and Tazz. Ain't going to happen though. Who called it last year?

JR and Lawler. IMO, JR went out of his way to bury the Smackdown guys, particulary the cruisers

WTF????? I remember some glowing comments towards Cena ("He's a future main event player"), Haas ("Haas is a hoss"), Tajiri ("Tajiri has the talent to win this thing") and f'n BULL BUCHANAN ("You don't have to be the most technical to win this").

Yay! Make Cole do PBP for an hour, saying "Damn" a record 15,000 times everyone is attacked from behind.

 

"Damn that [wrestler a]!

 

"Damn him for attacking [wrestler a] from behind!"

 

"Damn it, hes gonna win the rumble!" (repeat 29x)

I think it would make more sense to have Tazz and Cole do it since the primary storyline through the thing is going to be 'Can Benoit go the distance?' And Cole despite his cliche use of the word damn is still about 3 times less annoying than JR who basically only spouts cliches period.

At least when Jim Ross does it, it's funny.

 

 

Michael Cole sounds like a retarded four year old who watched a PG-13 movie and has a favorite word, but nothing entertaining like nipple and titty. He says damn so much it just gets really annoying.

Meh, I just think Cole and Tazz are more conversational where as JR and King are trying to put on an act.

I'd have to agree here. Do we trust JR/Lawler to keep the focus on Benoit's quest?

well, maybe Jim Ross would by Shilling the crap out of everything a la Todd Pettingle (sp?). Or bury him for making Nathan Jones cry like a bitch back to Australlia.

 

Last years "Storyline" was all about Brock, and JR/Lawler still did it, so the main focus of the match means nothing.

I never again want JR and the King to call Benoit's matches because of their bored to death voices. One of the main reasons I like Benoit on Smackdown is just because Tazz and Cole add excitement while JR and King take it away. For example, look at the Insurrection 2000 PPV against Angle. A real good match but King and JR aren't even paying attention. They often do this to everyone if your name's not Austin.

I could actually using both GM's. It would be good if they would make it Austin/Heyman/Bishoff.

JR and King. Remember Backlash, Judgment Day, and KoTR 02? Royal Rumble 03?

 

Cole and Tazz are way better though. And I don't understand the Cole hate. He rocks.

Cole is hated because he has said things like "the Cell is dangerous,you could get your finger caught in there" and once said the steel steps are 300 pounds.

Don't forget his constant use of the word "damn", not knowing how to shut up when someones turning because he gives it away, and generally lacks everything to carry an announce team.

 

Tazz makes him tolerable by making fun of him and knowing what the hell is going on.

Yeah, those were sad. I'll admit that. But in 2003, he was easily the best announcer for WWE, plus for some reason he sounds fine to me.

 

The word "damn" 30 times per show > "BAH GAWD KANG ITS STONE COLD STONE COLD BAH GAWD STUNNER STONE COLD STOMPING A MUDHOLE GOVERNMENT MULE MARTIAL ARTS KICKS BAH GAWD EDUCATED FEET KANG BAH GAWD HES A HOSS DAMN TAP THAT ASS ORTON BAH GAWD KANG STONE COLD STONE COLD THIS SUNDAY BAH GAWD"
