Whoo.. is this rooodyPOO?
I felt it relevant to express my opinion on the matter of Cole and Lawler as commentary partners. I would suggest for a long time now, Jerry Lawler has been the weak link at the announce table, even before Cole "turned heel". I feel that, especially lately, Jerry has had very few relevant or effective words to contribute the commentary with emphasis on the time since we started getting three announcers at the table. It feels like he's bitter or otherwise spiteful. He doesn't answer questions posed by colleagues and he's only good for insulting wrestlers or other announcers. I think the announce table would be better off without him, even if it was he and Ross again, because he starting to become boring once he stopped rooting for the heels years ago. If they really are considered to be the best announce team, consider Ross and Tazz, Ross and McMahon, Ross and Paul Heyman... and even JBL was better than Lawler in my humble, yet flawed opinion. My answer would be to suggest that maybe this WrestleMania match is Lawler's way of retiring and we won't be subject to his weak announcing.
I really don't feel 100% that he's doing the greatest job in this angle with Michael Cole, aside him being impressive for 60+ in the ring. His only achievements other than wrestling ones are corny insults, dirty looks and the sympathy of the WWE Universe and their President John Cena (helping him get to Elimination Chamber, furthering the Cole/Lawler rivalry). What I mean is, he isn't good at being a good guy in my opinion.
Is there anyone else that feels that Lawler, as a commentator, is overrated, and perhaps he would be on the verge of irrelevancy if he wasn't playing "good guy" to Cole's bad guy?
