benn 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2006 Did anybody else notice that everyone's strikes on this show seemed a lot stiffer than usual? It was like the SD roster is motivated to up the quality of their matches now that they've lost a few guys and ECW has started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedJed 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2006 I tell ya what, the entire bout of Scott/Hardy v. Finley/Regal was fantastic, even including JBL's verbal shots in on Hardy via his commentary. I guess they're pretty going to let Bradshaw shoot as he pleases. But Bradshaw did a GREAT job there establishing Finley/Regal as a hell of a team just by his commentary on them alone, and then add in that the team itself really is tremendous and they might as well move them over to London/Kendrink ASAP.

Wrestlefreak 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2006 JBL was absolutely great on commentry last night. Regal/Finlay-Gunner/Hardy was really good. Even Helms/Mysterio was good. Mr Kennedy was as entertaining as ever(even though he should move on from jobbers). Overall, a good show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2006 JBL had some good one-liners, but he and Cole really need to develop some chemistry. JBL was acting like an in-character 3rd wheel announcer, when there was no second guy. Cole, who is easily distracted and loses focus, tried to antagonize JBL too much and there was a lot of arguing and not a lot of quality match discussion. Plus, JBL treated Cole like a bitch, which further limited what Michael could possibly bring to the table. With Tazz, Cole could make a comment without Tazz shitting all over him, which made the announcing much easier on the ears overall. Being argumentative does not equal good announcing. Yeah I totally agree with the JBL/Cole chemistry being off. It was too argumentive and a bit too mean spirited. I think Cole should be more flabbergasted by JBL's remarks ala Gorilla Monsoon's reactions to Bobby Heenan's comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

areacode212 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2006 Wow, so far JBL is tremendous on commentary. It's so refreshing to have a real heel on color again. He's a tad too aggressive, but it's only his first week, and I expect him to tone it down more the further away he gets from his old feuds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With time he will tone down a little bit, and the chemistry between the two will increase. But I don't want him to tone it down to a point he isn't himself!! Just a small bit..
