Well I love this news

Hey that's awesome. Coachman was always solid and Booker is absolutely terrible.

Welcome back, Coach

Coach is a definite upgrade from Booker T.

Heel Coach is great, hope he can become that once again though Graves seems to be the lone real heel of these broadcasting booths.

He had this dope Sonic music.

I had dinner with coach a few months ago. He told me WWE has been trying to get him back for sometime.

Booker gets a lot of shit for being off the wall but that's why I like him. A breath of fresh air in the super sanitised, micro-managed world that is today's WWE.

Coach was never good on commentary, and with him and Cole together we have two horrible corporate shills which unfortunately is exactly what Vince wants. Would have been much better putting him as the interviewer.

Honestly just wish they'd go back to 2-man. Kinda liked it for Takeover just based on that.

Helps when Mauro can call a match with the passion of three Michael Coles'.

While Booker was awful, he was that special type of awful that bordered on being entertaining. Oddly gonna miss him. Hell, I say ship him to NXT to replace Percy. Non-coked-up Percy Watson is useless.

Booker isn't off the wall, he's just flat out terrible. You can tell he legitimately annoys else around him with his horrendous commentary. Being vanilla at you job is one thing but being bad at it doesn't mean you're edgy via comparison.

Commentary was so uninteresting without Booker there.

I thought so too. Corey and Coach had pretty good chemistry (Corey is great and seems to be able to work well with everyone) but they are drastically missing someone with some hype in that booth.

I always been a fan of booker t. Him and JBL in my opinion are the best commentators of this era.

Oh god no. Useless is infinitely better than Booker.

I only watched the Sasha/Asuka match really, but man Cole is grating. Corey and Coach were asking legit questions and he always chimes in using 10x the volume they were going with... jeezus. I'll say hearing Coach again made me *shudder* think of those awful Evolution Raws. Time will tell.

When is Rock coming back? I loved it, when Rock shitted on Coach.

To each's own but I thought Sunday Night Heat Coach was fine with Al Snow. Now how he fairs in a 3 hour environment is anyone's guess.

They are all shills and have to follow a script and prompt, even Graves though he might have a little wiggle room to do his thing. CM Punk in NXT and recently Daniel Bryan might have been the lone wolfs who could say what was whatever on their mind. Matt Striker was routinely destroyed for trying to go off script and to get his own things in with King and Cole around.

Coach always knew backstories and storylines. He knew how to advance a story. Respect Coach!

I'm going to miss Corey Graves shitting all over Booker. That was the highlight of most eps of RAW. Coach being back is a big ol "Meh" to me. Booker was awful yes but it gave Graves some wonderful ammo to use. Hell sometimes even Cole would take a shot at the ludicrous statements that Booker would make. Babyface coach announcing is just a bit to rigid for me.

Video I found interesting about Graves comments on Booker T.

I wish they would send Booker to SD to replace Graves. He doesn't need to be on both shows.

Well shit gets deeper. According to Booker, he was replaced by Coach because he was getting to heated with Graves and WWE were worried something might pop off. Booker went on to say that if he sees Graves on the street he's going to beat his ass. So apparently Booker took some of those shots a bit to personal...I mean he is terrible, he can't blame Graves for that.  Really I think Booker is coming off like a bully and a dick about it. Of course I don't know the full story, maybe Graves is a dick backstage.

That is clearly a work. :lol:

I'm so used to Booker just saying insane shit that I never know. It all seems in the realm of possibility.

Let them fight and put it on the WM DVD as bonus content.

I don't care for Graves on SD...and despite what others claim, Booker isnt terrible. He's fun.

Booker is terrible but in an entertaining way, Mistress. Which I'd take over Coachman any day at this point. Listening to Coach now for two weeks, he's very bland and is essentially just another Michael Cole.

Coach is already getting stale

Bring back the honky tonk man
