WWE: 10 Questions You Most Want Answered (April 26)

9. Raw Announce Team

From @Trac3r: What are your thoughts on WWE having the same 3 man announce team for Raw & PPVs/Special Events?
You're referring to Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and John Bradshaw Layfield. They commentate together on Raw as well as PPVs with Cole & JBL also calling the action on Smackdown. There are definitely times when I get sick of hearing them, but I get why WWE does it. They want fans to get used to them and their opinions. The problem with having the same guys on all the shows (at least in the case of Cole & JBL) is we get the same things over and over. Every time Orton is out there JBL says he's got the type of body that you want a superstar to have. When the Usos do the running butt splash they mention their dad Rikishi. At least the "Mrs. Fandango" thing is done. I like JBL as an announcer, but he's become too repetitive at times. At least he's a better heel announcer than Cole was and Lawler hasn't been a heel announcer in a decade. The best thing we can do is just get used to these guys. I see no reason why WWE would replace them. Maybe Lawler will be removed soon because he's older, but he's probably one of Vince's favorite employees since he's been on TV for 21 years now.
