One question about the commentary team.... You give this guy a ton of money to give some legitimacy to Smackdown on USA network and you keep Cole, JBL, and what's his name for the PPV? Wtf?

there was no surprise in the victor. i legit marked for aj, sami and brock coming out when he did. i knew triple h would win, but when it was him and ambrose left... the mark in me was on the edge of his seat, for ambrose. oh well.

I love how the crowd was booing anything Reigns did and cheering anything that happened to him...including by HHH, and then they erupted when HHH eliminated Reigns.

But then with Reigns out of the picture, and especially with Ambrose still in they started booing him.

Commentary will always suck no matter who's behind the booth with the degree of control they like to take over the booth from behind the scenes. (The only exceptions likely being King and if JR ever returned, who they likely give more leeway to).

I was watching old footage on the Network not too long ago from before things turned very "global" (for lack of a better description) as they are now and Cole was commentating and, you know what? He was actually pretty good because it was before all of the buzzwords and sponsorship stuff we put up with today.
