    Bringing Back Jim Ross On SNME A Big Mistake?

    Source: PWTorch Newsletter

    There are mixed feelings with regards to bringing back Jim Ross to host WWE Saturday Night Main Event. Many feel that it would be a big mistake unless they were to also bring him back on RAW.

    One former executive in particular was quoted, "J.R. is soooo much better than everyone else, and that will be obvious on NBC. It's not fair to Joey Styles to have his inadequacy next to Ross exposed so badly just as people were getting accustomed to him."

    i loved good ol' JR.. he seems like one of the few down to earth people on the WWE front.. i hope one day that they bring him back to RAW.. but for now, if they just put him back on SNME then i will be happy..

      They need to bring him back, Joey Styles is absolute garbage.

        Styles isn't getting the fair shot....he needs to be the face announcer to King's heel, not having coach in the booth...I'd rather have JR than a neutered Styles...

          The current booth could lose Coach, but they aren't as bad as when Ross had to carry Heyman. Not that Heyman was bad, but he was X-Pac annoying on the mic for 2hrs a show.

          I think Styles is fairly decent. At least he talks about some of the in ring action as opposed to things that have nothing to do with anything, much like Coach does. JR could do that with the King because that's how they were. They kind of had the same love/hate relationship on camera that Monsoon and Hennan had.

          I think they need to either bring back Ross full time with the King and let Styles stay in there and do some color as well as a tiny bit of play by play. Let the coach go do what he does best, host parties.

            Honestly, to me anyway, he seemed to have a much better chemistry with the heel Coach than Lawler.

            The thing about Joey is that he's over the top. The overselling, the "OH MY GOD" That's why we love him. Coach is more of a classic heel in the booth than Lawler is at this point in his carrer. He could work with either one, but I think Coach is a better fit.

              to me, Coach's voice is like finger nails on a chalk board.

                Ross needed a long timeout from announcing IMO anyways so it'll be interesting to see just how good he is on SNME. I think Styles is doing a good job considering the circumstances. As I said in a previous post it does seem that Styles is being held back in terms of his announcing style be WWE.


                BTW I loved the JR/Heyman team. Sure Heyman could be annoying but he said some very interesting things as well.

                  See, with Heyman you either loved him or hated him.

                  I hated him in the booth, my brother thought he was absolutley great. Though it's gone down in history as one of the worst Raw announce teams, if you ask around you would see that it was totally split.

                  Then again...Coach/Snow, anyone?

                  BTW, I was just adding to what you said SPTO.

                    I say toss out King and Coach and bring in Joel Gertner and Cyrus. Joey works much better with them.

                      Yeah, and Gertner is desperate for a job, he'll come cheap!
                      Nah, he actually comes from a pretty wealthy family I heard. Just a joke from his act at ONS.

                      I never understood why the WWF gave up on Don Callis so quickly. The guy was great.
