that's funny b/c I noticed this too last night.

I mean Sasha is supposed to be a heel. Yet they dont mention her using the tights. And then they show the replay, and still don't mention it.

You're supposed to put over the heel further by pointing out heel cheating tactics.
JBL has been around the block, he knows this. Wasnt it put out there that WWE doesnt want any of the divas to be officially heel but just drift back and forth randomly? The product certainly seems to follow that, so I wouldnt be surprised if they were told specifically not to emphasize heel tactics for that same reason. JBL knows its dumb but cant talk about WWE's dumb policies so he gets frustrated. :yeshrug:

I'm gonna stick my neck out on this.. I actually lowkey like JBL on the mic, but he DOES need to concentrate more on the ring. I actually big the sports references... lends a little more credibility to compare wrestlers to rugby players or whatever.

Byron Saxton is the first one that needs culling.

A String announce team at the moment should be Graves (the only truly good announcer they've created for a decade), Booker and JBL.

None of them are a patch on Monsoon/Heenan or Monsoon/Ventura.

Michael Cole and his "Vintage" bullshyt has never cut it. Kang should've been retired by Doink, but he makes absolutely zero sense now there aren't even any puppies for him to giggle about.

The E are lucky that Xavier was there to sell that Salida del Sol at TLC. "WHY IS THIS HAPPENING" is one of the better reactions this year.:damn::damn::damn:

:dead:@ JBL thinking he has the juice to second guess any of JR's calls.

Ross made people care about the story being told in the ring - This year alone, he sold me on a bunch of the NJPW talent at WK9 in one night and I don't understand a single word of Japanese

JBL spends a ton of time trying to get cool points with some imaginary person who still gives a fukk about Yelawolf.

He's probably extra sensitive because of the attention that Mauro Ranallo is going to get on Smackdown too. :manny:

JBL was a very good commentator at 1 point, I wanna say way back on Smackdown. Other than Vince getting in his ear (which I'm very sure that's the case), I have no idea how he declined so badly. Cole's never been "good", but he was at least tolerable, like some background noise. Then gradually became unbearable.

Smarks will never understand that JBL and Cole and produced to hell and back and damn near told what to say and not to say at every point. JR is the GOAT but he had no restrictions. It's a different world now


Just look at the Tokyo special where Cole was left to his own to call the show and did a damn good job, Kang was running that not Vince and Dunn
