Is Raw better with a 3 man announce team?

I checked out JV's link to the interview with Jerry Lawler discussing the Coach's addition to Raw's announce team and I thought it was pretty funny that Lawler actually thought Smackdown's team of Cole and Tazz needed to stop talking so much during their broadcasts seeing as I've found myself wishing that Lawler would shut up anytime a woman or Shelton Benjaimin shows up. While the King is still good for a laugh every once in a while I think its time to retire him in favor of Coach. Coachman, while he could still improve, seems to actually stick to discussing the match(when he's not explaining to Kermit Grisham how cool he is on Heat) compared to the King's obnoxious drooling over "puppies".

While I would rather have a 3 man team compared to the stale King/JR combo I think Lawler made a good comment in the article about how their really is one to many people talking at once and the broadcast would be better served by a 2 man team, it just has to be the "right" two guys. Since Coach is a natural heel I think it would be a much more interesting dynamic having he and JR as a team than JR and Tazz, even though I feel Tazz is a better overall commentator in regards to the analysis he can dish out during a match. Thoughts?

The thing that I don't like about SD's announcing is that too ofton they veer off topic and seem to forget that their is a match. I grew up with JR,Vince, and the King as announcers on Raw so I don't mind it so much. If they were to go back to 2 I would keep Coach and have Lawler take over his spot on SNH.

Visit and shop for video games at my Amazon-based store, also get discounted HD DVDs while they last.

I like the fact that they have the Coach on the RAW team, as it gives a new voice to them. However, I enjoyed the days of old when it was Vince, King and JR. On SD! Tazz is great on colour, but wouldn't hurt to add someone to the team. Kind of getting tired of hearing Michael Cole.

I think Coach is an excellent addition to the Raw announce team. He breaks the staleness that was Jr and King of the last two years. I'd like to see them give Mick Foley a go on any team, and especially if King left and needed to keep the 3-man on Raw.

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

I don't want to see Lawler go. I like the three person team on Raw. But if I had to choose only two it would be Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler.

I like Coach, even though King and JR drown him out sometimes. If King isn't talking about puppies, then you have JR screaming "Good GAWD Almighty"!!! all night long.

I mostly forget that there is now a 3 man announce team until Coach & King start on something together that gets annoying to me/JR, or Coach says just something contrary to both King & JR, then it clicks that 'oh, yeah, Coach is up there now'.

I don't mind announcers going off on tangents. Josh Mattews & Steve Romero have some of the most entertaining tangents I've heard.


It's not stealing when the website you stole it from is written on what you stole.
