Rank the current WWE commentators from best to worst

Jim Ross
Cole (He's still an excellent PBP man despite his sometimes overbearing gimmick)
Josh Matthews
William Regal
Booker T
Jerry Lawler
Jack Korpela

Striker and Stanford would be right behind Matthews for me if we're including them in this.
 
Cole
Jim Ross
William Regal
Booker T
Jerry Lawler
Josh Matthews
Jack Korpela

Iv also got to say if we where including Stanford he would be right up there, its a travesty that he is so under used by WWE. And I have never understood the heat Cole gets on these forums, I think he is by far the best play by play guy the WWE have, he puts over talent and story lines and generally does a good job IMO. I agree his heel character could be very overbearing, and he does the occasional thing that could be considered irritating but I still think he is by far the best the WWE have.

I used to be a huge fan of Ross and Lawler but I have to admit they are not the same as they used to be, Jerry seems outdated and cheesy and Jim Ross is not quite the Attitude era Jim Ross, having said that I feel the style of commentary has changed a lot and that is perhaps what is hurting Lawler, whereas as Jim Ross has also had his well documented health issues.
 
JR
Regal
Matthews
Lawler
Cole
Booker
Korpela

I'd probably have ranked Cole higher if he wasn't on both the shows.
 
Matthews
Cole

This was harder than I thought. I'm generally pretty happy with the WWE's commentary.
 
Booker(..What? He's very unique in his commentary, oh my gootnesss!)
Matthews
Cole
J.R(Not a big fan of the current J.R commentary. Why isn't he marking out anymore?)
Regal
Lawler
Korpella
 
How come nobody put down Scott Sanford? Maybe me and my girlfriend are alone on this one but we think, given as bit more experience, he could succeed JR as the main play-by-play on Raw.

Anyway, my order would be from best to worst..

JR
Booker
Regal
King
Sanford
Cole
Korpela
Matthews
 
best to worst

Lawler
Cole
Matthews
JR
Booker
Korpela
Sanford

The announcers are very, very good. The problem is that we've historically enjoyed legendary announcers (Vince, Heenan, Gorilla, Macho Man, Ventura) and these announcers aren't anywhere close to their level.
 
Ross
Cole
Lawler
Matthews
Regal
Booker T
Jack Korpela - I have heard him once and he compared the Masters vs Reks feud to the New York Yankees/Boston Red Sox rivalry.
