I read a lot of threads about commentators. But about 10 years ago Jerry Lawler was more entertaining to listen 2 as a heel commentator. He defended the heels and bash the face.
It sickens me today that a heel like Orton do heel tactics and Lawler would bash him for it. But 10 years ago a heel wrestler like HHH would do the same thing and Lawler would defend him. Vice versa with faces he use to bash them and laugh when they were hurt, now he acts concern which I find very out of his character. I though Lawler was going back to his old was when he defended a heel Matt Hardy during a match with the broken hand but I was wrong.
I know what some ppl are gonna say.
1.Lawler running for mayor or something (not sure) and not a good look.
2.Vince has control over the commentators on what to say.
On raw I can put up with some of lame comic relief but they couldn't even compared that to the old Lawler commentating. IMO I think the old Lawler gave heel wrestlers more heat back then.
What do you all think?
