WWE’s Commentary Team

Written by Radi Lewis Jr.

One of the most important parts of professional wrestling is the commentary team. The commentary of a match, storyline, or angle can really add to the drama of the match or it can totally distract from the match. Jim Ross is the perfect example of someone who added drama and emotion to a match, someone who can make the viewer at home feel the emotion of the point he is supposed to be getting across. And of course, WWE, well what do they do with Jim Ross? They fire  and humiliate him in his hometown on many occasions, and then proceed to replace him on air with Michael Cole.  As of right now, we have 3 people on commentary team: Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and JBL. So, whats to complain about, you have 3 people who offer different sensible perspectives on the matches and stories in the ring right? Of course not! That would mean the commentators would actually have to focus on their JOBS and storytelling what is going on in the ring  using their voices.



WWE is all about storytelling, I mean professional wrestling is all about storytelling, it is basically a male soap opera. If you watch Raw, you would feel like you are losing brain cells listening to the commentary team. They talk about the most nonsensical things you could possibly imagine while watching a wrestling match. They talk about comedy, food, and even take "SELFIES" while a tag team match is going on. WWE’s motto is “ We are not wrestling, We are “Sports Entertainment”, apparently, they forgot about the sports part, and clearly the entertainment part. Let me paint you a scenario, when WWE books an injury angle, and/ or attack, how do the commentators react to said angle? You would think, well clearly, they put raw emotion, anger, into the storylines that WWE is trying to convey to the audience correct? If you thought that, well you are probably more smarter than most of WWE officials. According to Vince Mcmahon, this is what you do, What? that’s stupid, have them talk in MONOTONE voices and put no energy into the big angles.

Am I the only one who thinks that turning the commentary team off would just increases the value of a match by a thousand percent? Here is a tip for WWE, hire commentators who actually watch their own shows they are COMMENTATING! Jerry Lawler is someone who has admitted in interviews that he doesn't even watch Smackdown, NXT, or any other show besides Raw that  he is not on. That makes no sense, why can’t the commentary team be logical, call the matches, and add drama to your storylines? Oh I’m sorry, would that mean that WWE actually would put EFFORT into every single aspect of their show? Once again, Vince Mcmahon to tell us fans that he knows what is good for us right?

Before you smash your computer in rage, hear me out on this one. Obviously, John cena winning the title for the millionth time is not the most appealing option at face value, but it is the most profitable option in the long run. For one reason only, it is by the name of Brock Lesnar, the Beast Incarnate is what's best for business. Brock Lesnar, just a couple of months ago, broke the Undertaker's streak( I know, I am sickened by it too) however, where can one go after conquering a major streak like Undertakers, straight into the title picture.?

Now here is why John Cena should win the title at Money In the Bank. First, Sheamus is your United States Champion and is not exactly the most relevant ( shocking, a champion not being treated as such). Alberto Del Rio is NOT world champion material because all he does is lose or win irrelevant matches. Roman Reigns is being groomed as World Champion but needs more build and more standout moments before he becomes champion. Randy Orton had a boring 9 month title reign as champion and I think that no one is clamoring for Orton to be champion. Cesaro is a great wrestler with "out of this world" potential and one day could be champion, but like Roman Reigns would do more harm than good if he won the title.The reason why John cena winning would be great is because WWE could do a revenge storyline with him and Lesnar. Brock Lesnar comes back after Money in the Bank, and avenges his loss from Cena back at Extreme Rules 2012. 

John Cena vs Brock Lesnar is great box office for WWE because it is two mega stars in the wrestling industry. Lesnar conquerors Cena at Summerslam and beats him for the title. Brock Lesnar becomes this Dominant monster who can’t be stopped and just runs over all the good guys. There is only one man who can come back from his injury and save WWE from Brock Lesnar , Daniel Bryan. At the Royal Rumble 2015, Bryan comes back from his injury, wins the Royal Rumble, and his main goal is to regain the championship he never lost. At Wrestlemania 31, David vs Goliath aka Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar with Bryan regaining the belt and give him his moment with 80,000 people chanting YES! to close out this storyline. Now tell me that is not what’s Best for Business!
