I think a team of Scott Steiner, Stone Cold, and Scott Hall would kick ass. It's pretty well known Scott Hall wants to get back in the business in some capacity...

Or if WWE brought in an actual, real sports commentator from somewhere, that would be sweet.

Who would you realistically want to replace these guys.

A piece of coal, a hawk and a Burger King hat could do a better job.

No, but seriously, even though I despise the man and everything he does, I can't see anybody taking over play-by-play from Cole yet. Byron Saxton is doing well on NXT though, he'd be a great replacement personally, but I'm trying to be realistic here.

For colour commentary I'd go with Road Dogg. He's charismatic, an ex-worker who has worked in huge matches, and still young enough to connect with some of the target audience. I would go for Regal because he's fantastic, but I'm not totally convinced his voice would work in massive, action packed segments, like the Shield/Wyatts staredown for example.

So, in a perfect world: Saxton/Dogg
Realistically: Cole/Dogg

I did like Booker T on commentary. I don't like Regal's voice... as sad as that is because he is a wrestling legend, knows the ins and outs, and is decently skilled at commentary his voice is awful for commentating. Heyman... eh he got annoying when he commentated.

Joey Styles is there doing his thing behind the scenes towing the company line now so could well be a good choice - certainly worth a try. Lawler needs to go for the good of everyone, including himself. Regal would be another good addition. Regal and Styles might be a bit too indepth for some people so keep JBL with them to lighten things a bit.

Renee does commentary occasionally on NXT.....
And Tony was fired awhile ago



Road Dogg,Josh,Regal for Smackdown(Road Dogg,Josh were GREAT during their WWE Youtube show)

JBL,Cole,Heyman for Raw(seeing how WWE is on good terms with Heyman,why not let him do commentary?)

realistically cole is staying..I agree with road dogg..would be a great announcer, i also really like what Alex Riley has been doing. He could be good in a year or so

Scott Hall, Roddy Piper and Bring back JR!

Joey Styles, William Regal, Dusty Rhodes you're welcome

Hahahahaha at the first part. But seriously. No. Fuck that guy. Probably so much brain damage he can't talk clearly nowadays.... probably for the better. :p

I don't see JR coming back.... which is sad because he's one of the GOAT on commentary.

I think it's about time to start fresh in the commentary booth with some new, young faces.

Personally I'd like to see Matt Striker added in, keep JBL, and get rid of King and Cole. Of course, they will never get rid of either one of those two, because they will tote the company line nobody how silly it is.... like the time people chanted "Let's go Ziggler" during his match with Sheamus, and the King said they were saying "Let's go Sheamus" lol. And of course, Cole with all of that "Vintage Cena" crap, and of course, them both trying to make it out that John Cena is some sort of underdog lol.

Realistically i would love Josh Matthews, Booker T and Zeb/Heyman.

I wouldn't mind keeping JBL in that team as he is the best of a bad bunch and maybe with a better level of commentary he would improve. To be fair to JBL he is always the one who is shouting at the other 2 to focus and call the match.

At the same time though it would be hard to get excited calling matches like we saw on Monday.
