When I first saw Corey Graves, my first thought was who is this egdy metro carny looking faggot?
But Graves has evolved into one of my absolute favorite things about WWE. He's grown into such a good color commentator and presence that he makes everything he's on better.
Since the peak of JR/King, the announcing in WWE has sucked an absolute dick. But Graves is so intelligent and great at color that I think it's great now. Graves teaming with Phillips is the best commentary team I've heard in years.
Your thoughts?

Did you DM him on instagram or something?

I wish we had Graves/Phillips on Smackdown, on their own.
205 live has the best commentary team but I don't give a shit about 205 live s I rarely watch it.
Smackdwn's pretty ass right now but hopefully the draft fixes that.
Graves puts some passion into it and fits the "Heel" color that was so prevalent a few years ago. Now even JBL talks good about the faces and it just feels weird.
Phillips will be ruined if he ever got to a big time table like raw.
>>2632955
Yes. Leak when?
>yfw no more Graves bullying Saxton
>>2632971
They were the commentary team on NXT for the better part of 2 years
>>2632955
NXT hasn't been the same since he left.

Word for word.

Nigel is filling his role quite nicely
>>2632982
Oh, you didn't get that...I'm sorry
>>2632997
Yeah, I watched it, it was good.
Here's how I'd reshuffle the current commentators.
>Raw
>Play by Play: Cole
>Colour 1: JBL (I LOVE IT MAGGLE)
>Colour 2: I guess Byron Saxton, he's ok.
>Smackdown
>Play by Play:Phillips
>Colour: Graves
>Future endeavour:
>David Otunga
>>2633035
>JBL & Cole
>>>/trash/
>>2633052
I LOVE IT MAGGLE

THEY'RE JUST HAVING FUN HAHA
I agree OP, when he was wrestling he had that retarded FALL DOWN tattoo on his knuckles of something and I thought how fucking dumb it looks. But honestly he is the best thing behind a commentary table today. The back and forth and chemistry with Tom is honestly the best thing since JR and King.
Graves and Phillips are fucking terrible. The standards are so low that they get praised. They're both incredibly annoying.
>>2633209
Somebody's mad that Tom Fill-ups didn't facefuck them
>>2632955
sure OP
Our Father, which art on commentary,
Corey be thy Name.
Thy Monday come.
Thy will be done
On Raw, as it is in NXT.
Give us this day our daily reminder.
And forgive us our just having fun maggle,
As we forgive them that just have fun maggle against us.
And lead us not into shilling,
But deliver us from Byron.
For thine is the desk,
The microphone, and the monitor,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

>Your thoughts?
If it was him & Phillips on their own I'd probably buy the network and watch things. Now I just download the nxt shows and live stream Rumble & Mania.
The shit commentary and the awful camerawork are two of my least favourite things about current WWF product.
he's literally the only announcer atm that isn't complete shit
yeah tom/corey team is the best right now but partly because its the only two man team
>>2632955
He has a rich vocabulary and knows how to apply it. Puts a lot of makeup on dogshit with how he talks. Couldn't agree more.
>>2633209
Oh look a contrarian, not watch as he gets all touchy because someone called him out. "Am I not ALLOWED to dislike them?"
Based Savior of Misbehavior
I'm being serious when I say I actually thought Mauro and JBL were good together. There were times when they'd try to one up each other on stupid references and I thought it was fun. It's a shame they either did or didn't have a fallling out. Otunga was fine too.
