JBL's Replacement

Fozzy

So, now that JBL is a Raw wrestler once again, who would you like to see replace him as a colour commentator on Smackdown?

I haven't included a poll because there doesn't seem to be any clear candidates, apart from Michael Hayes apparently, but he's also SD's head writer so he may find it hard to do both jobs

Personally, I'd love to see Stevie Richards get it. He commentated on Heat a few times years ago and I thought he was really good. He's always been good on the mic anyway, much like JBL was

I wouldn't mind Michael Hayes getting it either, as he's one of the top promo guys of all time and he's done a lot of commentary work in the past

Any other names anyone can think of?

i know it's not going to happen but i would love to see Heyman commentating again. although, it probably wouldn't be as memorable as his stint with JR.

They could well bring Taz back from ECW. There's Dusty Rhodes as well.

Oh no please not Dusty, his voice goes through my head.

Heyman would be an excellent choice.

Wouldn't mind having Coach as commentator on Smackdown either.

it will be Taz to smackdown and joey styles will fly solo on ecw, hopefully

Shame Booker T is gone, as he would have been quite good. Hopefully JBL takes up the mantle again later on. Best in the business IMO.

i agree it will most likely be tazz.

Podge2k7

I'd say it will be tazz!

Ernest "the Cat" Miller. Him and Cole made a great team on velocity

_JOE_

They might get mike goldberg he would be great

EdK

Mike Goldberg turned them down for JR's position on Raw he's hardly going to do colour on Smackdown i'd say

Fozzy

Mike Goldberg's not a colour commentator anyway

EdK

True aswell Fozzy, maybe they could get Joe Rogan lol

So who did he replace on raw?

JBL isn't replacing anyone as a commentator on Raw. He's going to be a full time wrestler again.

I recall an episode of SD where he filled in for Tazz who I think was dealing with a bereavement or something and he was dire.

I think Tazz will most likely get it which I'd be fine with but it would probably mean a replacement for him on ECW. I think Hayes works well as a commentator and I'd enjoy hearing him too.

There's one name who hasn't been mentioned though who I think would be good for either Smackdown or ECW - Al Snow. I'm pretty sure he's still working with OVW and I'd say the idea of commentary work would be attractive to him. I reckon he'd be good as he knows how to get over a wrestler and he can be funny, plus he and Coach were well liked for their stuff on Heat. I wonder if the WWE considered him at all.

Michael Hayes.

Fozzy

Well, one person here will be pleased with the new SD commentator. I hadn't really considered him but I don't mind at all. He is...

The Coach!

EdK

Total disaster, he is rubbish and so is Cole

Brow

Yeah, not a fan of the choice.

I'm in agreement with Stevie Richards and Al Snow nominations. Probably Snow would have the edge cause Stevie's raspie voice might grate on me after a while.

The Arbiter

I agree Al snow would be good.

Coach. MEH. Never a huge fan of his commentary. Can't really see his and Cole making a good team, either. Would have Liked Michael Hayes myself....
