Kizzo 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 I'm not sure if they are in the draft or not...but if they are I could see this combo.... RAW TEAM I think a JR/TAZZ duo would be good, and plus its different....maybe they could be the next Monsoon/Heenan team....or they could add the Coach in the mix.. SMACKDOWN TEAM For this show a Cole/Lawler team, with maybe Coach in the mix would be good...if Coach didn't join TAZZ and JR So basically its JR/TAZZ for RAW...and Michael Cole and Lawler with Coach maybe for Smackdown...

The Mandarin 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 I don't think they should change it. Tazz/Lawler would bomb, as would Lawler/Cole. Tazz and Cole work well together, and JR can carry Lawler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Oh dear god, please no Lawler/Cole. I'd kick the TV screen in after about half an hour of their tripe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted March 21, 2004 I'd like a change. It'd be interesting. It should work out - if not, the creative geniuses could whip something up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Oh dear god, please no Lawler/Cole. I'd kick the TV screen in after about half an hour of their tripe. Cole really has improved A LOT. Heck, I wouldn't mind Josh Matthews replacing friggin' Lawler or JR at this point. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Besides, if the women don't switch places, wouldn't Lawler BELONG on SD far more than on RAW? -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 JR and Tazz have worked pretty well the few times they've been together so maybe they could be a good team, but that would leave Cole/Lawler on the other show. I don't overly mind Cole, but that's not a commentary team i want to be hearing anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Sadly, he has the deadly cracker voice that holds him back. He can't emote very well; I don't get the sense of excitement or drama from when he speaks. He is good with the history and technical sides of it (Josh is a smark, no doubt, he showed that on Tough Enough when he complained about the other contestants knowledge of wrestling), but he couldn't tell a story to save his life.

If Cole was with Lawler, I'm afraid the stupidity would be off the charts. I don't think I can stand comments like "Oh, she's a screamer." and "You know, those ropes aren't elastic bands" 50 times in one night. Although JR/Lawler is bad enough... The hell with it, replace Lawler with Heyman. Problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JMA Report post Posted March 21, 2004 The only problem I have with Cole is his constant overuse of the phrase, "What the hell!?" Though this isn't a major complaint. Lawler isn't going anyone because he has seniority and creative thinks the fans love him. To be fair, they DID love him during the "Attitude" era. But that's long gone.

When he left in 2001 I missed him being on PBP with J.R., but when he returned after Heyman filled in for 8 months, I realized how below average he was.

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted March 21, 2004 It's just great to hear the Raw guys calling the SmackDown! action and vice versa. However, you need one ex-wrestler on either team, so I'd be inclined to go Ross/Tazz and Lawler/Cole, one reason being so that the two ex-wrestlers can't spend a weekly 1 1/2-2 hours making idiots of themselves.

Kizzo 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 I did like the combo of JR/Heyman in 2001 for 8 months...and they did a great job calling Wrestlemania X-7..... The show is only as good as the people calling the matches...and at X-7 they did a wonderful job....especially the Street Fight with Shane/Mr. McMahon...

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Leave Cole and Tazz on SmackDown. Completely revamp the Raw team. Take Ross out and put in that new guy, Todd or Brad whatever his name. As for Lawler, I don't care which former wrestler they put in. Maybe Chris Nowinski, if he's done? Perhaps Regal, Coach, Snow, I don't know. Just end Ross and his love for hoss sauce.
