10 Wrestlers Who Made Terrible Commentators

JBL is an interesting case: he can be good when he wants to be, but more often than not as of late, he's been absolutely unbearable to listen to. As previously noted, most of that has to do with what's being fed to him through the headset, but it's gotten to the point where he just needs to go.

The self-proclaimed "Wrestling God" retired from the ring the first time around in 2006, replacing Tazz as the color commentator for SmackDown. While he was never the greatest wrestler in the history of the business, he was always a talented talker, and that shone through in his time behind the booth on the blue brand. Him and Michael Cole had excellent chemistry together that effectively enhanced the action in the ring; what happened to that JBL?

He returned to action in late 2007 only to retire for a second time a year and a half year before coming back to the company to fill in for Jerry Lawler following his heart attack in 2012. The Raw trio of him, Cole and Jim Ross was near perfect and the closest the commentary on Monday nights came to being great in recent memory.

Since 2013, however, he's served as the cheerleader for The Authority, constantly putting down whoever he works with and adding next to nothing to the product.
