Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Ringside Collectibles have announced future lines. Series 50 will include Sami Zayn, I believe its the first time someone has gotten a figure before being called up to the main roster Edited January 8, 2015 by Krytie 2X4B 523P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted January 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2015 WWE are making some announcing changes: On Raw, Michael Cole and JBL will be joined each week by WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, while the new SmackDown announce team will consist of Cole, newcomer Byron Saxton and incomparable WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler. Cole, JBL and Lawler will continue to call the action during WWE pay-per-view events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass Smash Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 So Lawler is going to Smackdown? Maybe they were worried incase he kicks the bucket on a live Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil is brill Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 He's still doing PPVs though, you'd think that if they were worried about him kicking the bucket live on air, they'd keep him off the PPVs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thank Christ I love Booker on commentary. He comes out with some right shite sometimes but he atleast sounds enthusiastic and puts over all the talent rather that shitting on everything. Lawler is probably better suited to Smackdown. He can just coast through it and doesn't have to sit there for 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanoTheGame Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah, Booker T is shit but I'd rather have somebody shit who sounds enthusiastic, than somebody who is shit and sounds bored like Lawler. Besides, Booker T was occasionally funny. I'm hoping for a return of his Fave Five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2015 The plus of Lawler on commentary is that he'd occassionally go off into his own world and not say anything for ages. Booker T and JBL on the same announce team for 3 hours sounds like its going to be like an episode of Daffy Duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Poor Wade Keller, his biggest wish this year was to have better commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Strange decision for Lawler, as I thought one of the main reasons he still does it is he can arrive for Raw 2 hours before the show starts and go home as soon as it finishes. Sure he can still do that for Smackdown, but on PPV weeks you'd assume he isn't going home on Sunday night to travel again on Tuesday, so he'd be at Raw anyway.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2015 I wish they would do away with three man announce teams altogether, or at least not have it as the standard across their shows. I do actually like Booker T, for the same reasons others have mentioned- although he talks nonsense he at least sounds enthusiastic doing it and has a distinctive voice. If he's going to be on the same team as JBL one of them is going to have to learn to wind it in a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I actually thought Booker was fairly subdued on Raw compared to how he used to be, so I'm guessing it'll be him playing it straight more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
