Jim Ross Criticizes the Three-Man Commentary Team Featured on WWE TV

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross criticizes the three-man commentary team featured on WWE TV in a new blog post on his official website, JRsBarBQ.com. Ross shares a number of thoughts and observations from Monday night’s Slammy Award edition of “Monday Night Raw,” including some that are not very flattering to the color commentary panel of Michael Cole, Jerry “the King” Lawler, and JBL.

Ross says,

“Thought WWE had some solid bouts on RAW that would have been made even better if the commentary had been focused on what the viewers were seeing. For example, when a talent is in trouble, selling, agonizing, etc and it isn’t verbally documented then that misstep takes one out of the moment. How much trouble or pain can an athlete be in if his angst is being ignored? 

Verbally it was a busy night at the announce desk but I do enjoy the two man teams more than three voices chiming in endlessly especially on a marathon, three hour show. Ironically, WWE is similar to UFC in that they are one case of laryngitis, etc away from being in a bind on a major show regarding their broadcasters.”
