Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 How Jericho for a while? They can go the Mr. Perfect route and have someone pull him out of "retirement" after a while. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He got fired from Raw, so they'd have to have Eric Bischoff explain why Jericho is now a commentator. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, they wouldn't. He'd just be on Raw one night. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If it was to mean anything he'd have to be there for more than just one night, and for that there would need to be a reason given.

Dogbert 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 Whether or not you believe that Jim Ross should retire from commentary, it would still be a sad day. I'm sure that many of us can't remember wrestling without J.R. doing play-by-play. I know I can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 What about Joey Styles? He called One Night Stand, and management was impressed with him. Plus, he is more camera friendly than Jim Ross. I would love a Styles/Cyrus combo again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 I remember a rumor a couple years back about Schiavone. WWE wanted him to come in, at least on a temporary basis, but Kevin Dunn disapproved and the idea was dropped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fook Report post Posted October 5, 2005 They've needed a different PBP announcer on Raw for a while as JR's become a parody of himself, but the problem is the WWE doesn't have anyone with the experience to replace him. And they have to get rid of Lawler. That borderline pedophile has never added anything to commentary in his life. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree they have to get rid of Lawler, but I disagree with your second point. Before the attitude era he was a great colour commentator. He got his points across and made me laugh on the regular. It's only since 1998 that he's been awful. I think JR and Tazz would be a great combination, because without Jerry Lawler to drag him down. JR is noticably better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. I've liked the JR/Tazz combo during the past couple of Royal Rumble matches. It's like when Heyman (hey, what about him?) was pairing with JR in 2001 in that it's a breath of fresh air.

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted October 5, 2005 The best possible announcers don't exist under the WWE umbrella. Why is bad announcing a epidemic in all North American promotions? Josh Matthews/Taz or Tazz/Ross are the best options WWE can give unless it's willing to test out some of the "legends" who aren't busy. I'm shocked Vince hasn't gotten desperate and thrown wads of cash to Ventura. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
World's Worst Man 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 Matthews knows too much about wrestling to be a big time commentator. He'd be calling moves by their proper name and referring to Japanese/indy promotions. Can't have that. Where's Chris Cruise when you need him? I also think Coach would be fine on colour as Lawler definitely needs to go too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
