Monday night was a test run to see how Jim Ross and Tazz would do as a team, and some people were impressed. Vince McMahon has been wanting to split up J.R. and Lawler for some time, feeling the combo is "too Southern," but television producer Kevin Dunn is strongly against it. If it's made permanent, Lawler would join Joey Styles in ECW, and occasionally work matches there as well. Dusty Rhodes really wants Lawler on ECW. Lawler and J.R. are really close and would obviously not be happy with the change.
I thought Tazz and JR did a good job though they seem a little off, but they dont work that often together thought they did an ok job at Rumble 03 together calling the rumble match. But JR and King have been the team for RAW for so long that i really cant seem them brekaing this announce team up. Plus Lawler and Styles on ECW just dont seem like a real fit, thought if VKM wants it...it could happen. But I dunno but I do see where VKM is coming from as a change would be new but still seems iffy to me.
