My main gripes have always been the current trio's lack of being able to sell a moment, they either talk when they shouldn't or say nothing when they should. Burying segments (whether failing or not) instead of attempting to put it over ie: Ascension recently, now turning them into a joke. Having random convos during matches instead of just calling it (last time a sidebar convo was even remotely entertaining was that Titus/washrag #fukkery.) And of course the flip flopping of face/heel roles, mainly JBL where he will back one heel, then turn around and go face with certain wrestlers. Makes no sense. If he went 100 with one side, it wouldn't be as annoying.

Booker will atleast attempt to support whatever is happening on-screen, only issue is that line he walks where his comical adlibs can sometimes come off as a mockery.

In the end it's really all moot as long as Vince is feeding lines from the Gorilla position.

:yeshrug:Well brehs we gotta start somewhere. I've always maintained if your gonna fix RAW, wwe, etc. you gotta start with the commentary and the first thing to do is get Lawler up outta there. If they gotta do it the slow route then so be it, but eventually, this nikka needs to be phased out.

I think JBL and Cole could be a good team if JBL becomes a full heel commentator. He has to fully back ALL the heels and not cap for some of the faces (Cena) when they are going against heels. He needs to polish his game after the GOAT Jesse Ventura and really start to get these heels over. And they would need more give and take, its like both of those two are so worried about who will get the last word (or terrible pun in) they fly off the radar.

Yup. That ascension shyt was some bullshyt. I don't know why you would spend all that time building this tag team up in NXT, bring them to the main roster, and not try to put them over in the best possible way. shyt doesn't make sense at all. Made em out to be a fukking joke, and them scripted promo lines they gave em didn't help em.

Totally agree on this terrible trio not being able to sell a moment. I just will never get that feeling from Michael Cole to get me fired up or really into anything they way he does shyt. And then, when they have this nikka like something, it comes off as corny. Corny in the way where you have that old head trying to say or dress in a "hip, new way". shyt always comes off has forced, terrible, corny, and not organic.

I don't understand why they didn't do this when JBL was first brought back :mindblown:

It worked just fine when Cole/JBL were first paired on SD!, and JBL was pretty much pure heel and putting Cole in check every now and then

Yup, I think back to Brock's return and all he could muster up was "oh my........... Brock... Lesnar." :dead: Even last week when Seth was threatening John, building up to his request of what he wanted, this dumbass blurts out "he wants the Authority back!" like nikka we know but shut your mouth and let him get there.

What killed me was sometime back in fall, I can't remember who was involved, but someone went through the table and he literally repeated that shyt like 5 times straight - couldn't think of anything else to add-on. Basically a botched JR impression, lol. It's like Vince was in the back yelling "AGAIN!" "AGAIN!" "AGAIN!" through the headset :pachaha:

no passion goes into the creative process so how do you expect there to be any passion coming from anywhere else.
