If times have changed for Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, the same is even more dramatically true for ‘Road Dogg’ Jesse James. The former six-time tag team champion in WWE now works as the lead writer for SmackDown Live, and he also takes a very prominent role in producing the entire show.

It is that last role that probably works against the 'D O Double-G' taking on a position alongside Phillips and Saxton. But it is unlikely that anyone knows SmackDown Live better than the former WWF Intercontinental and Hardcore Champion, who would provide in-depth analysis of the show in his own inimitable style.

Working in front of the live audience would also give Road Dogg a better handle on how the WWE Universe is enjoying the show, a closer look at the performers that the crowd are responding to and those that are as cold as a Yakutsk winter morning.
