Here's a simple fix! Okay, in a dream world, WWE would get rid of JBL, Michael Cole and Bryon Saxton, and replace them with some new, fresh, and much less annoying talent. That's not going to happen. McMahon thinks that JBL is a riot, and Cole is the de-facto voice of the company. Still, it would be nice to have someone who is genuinely funny or interesting as the third man. No, Jimmy Uso is not it. A few years ago, CM Punk was given a shot, and he immediately became the most entertaining announcer in the company. Down in NXT, Corey Graves has proved to be a more compelling announcer than Saxton who rarely talks, or says anything of note. Quite simply, there has to be somebody better! Sure, almost anyone is an upgrade over Booker T, who can't go an entire show without saying something horribly embarrassing or offensive, but Saxton isn't the answer. Give a variety of former wrestlers, or personalities a shot until someone just clicks. It can't be that hard!
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
