Citizen Kane Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 From pwinsider At this point in time, Styles will be doing Monday's live Raw and the taping on 11/13. Beyond that, nothing has been decided. Styles has made it very clear that he has a great career outside of wrestling so WWE will have to make a strong offer to get him to sign with WWE. Since Vince McMahon doesn't want Jim Ross in the announce chair any more, Styles is his best available option. It's pretty much common knowledge that the announce team of Coach and Jerry Lawler can't effectively sell the product. If WWE doesn't sign Styles, it would not surprise me to see Ross end up back on TV in a scenario reminiscent of the season of Dallas where all the bad storylines "were just a bad dream". What we can take from this is that Coach and Lawler didn't work and they're not bringing JR back. Everyone backstage at Taboo Tuesday was saying how great Styles and Lawler did. And since Joey didn't say anything stupid on Tuesday, he could have a place there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 i would love to see Styles in the WWE, there isnt anything in the WWE that can make Styles go "oh my GOD" so its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladiator Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I also would like to see Styles in the seat as for me Coach just does not cut it, the gimmic of the stupid heel announcer does not work for me on play by play if he was just doing colour commentry then it would be Ok but for play by play you need someone who doesn't say things that look too dumb like coach says and for me heels need to be 100 % of what they are saying and for me what Coach says seems like he thought about it for 10 seconds to make sure it was heel before he says it.

Gooneronastick Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I thought Styles did an excellent job of calling the action on TT and would welcome his dulcet tones as the lead announcer on Raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JobberJoe Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Styles is the man ! Quite glad to see WWE are smart enough to figure out that King and Coach didn't "quite work" (ie. cr@p !)... should be interesting to see if Joey can keep up the good work so far !

The Indy Legend Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Styles would be a definite improvement. I'm sure he is still remembered form ECW, so people already know his resume, and they know that he can call great matches. I didn't see Taboo Tuesday, so for me it will be interesting to see how Styles and King work together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Joey Styles should have been brought in for PbP a long long time ago actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 to be honest i think its a good time for him to come in, think about it, he wouldnt be able to replace JR because JR is the best at was he does, and Michael Cole & Tazz make a surprisngly good team so what would he be doing, velocity? Heat? na bringing him in now is the best time to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyndorf Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'd prefer to see Styles doing the play by play and The Coach doing colour. The King's to much of a face to be by his side, that's why I think Lawler and Jim Ross became stale. All the great announce duo's have had a face doing the play by play and a heel doing colour: Vince/Ventura, Monsoon/Ventura, Heenan/Monsoon, Vince/The King, whilst combos such as Monsoon/Piper, Hayes/Mooney and Vince/Savage were crap.

big pau hoolinator Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Kign used to be heelish but more of a naive heel supporter but suddenly as soon as JR goes he in't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Meltzer's reporting that some adverts are playing teasing Batista bringing JR back to Raw this Monday. All may not be as it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyndorf Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I wouldn't read too much into them. During the promo video at the begining of Taboo Tuesday, the grizzly voiced dude did say the Batista/Coach match was still about getting Jim Ross' job back. Of course during the match it wasn't mentioned once. I assume they had planned to continue the angle with Batiata involved, but they scrapped it at the last minute. Hence why the promo video and the ad were made saying "Jim Ross..........blah blah blah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFill Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Meltzer's reporting that some adverts are playing teasing Batista bringing JR back to Raw this Monday. All may not be as it seems. Isn't he still recovering from colon surgery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I believe he is, but that doesn't really mean he won't be there, he might have talk in the ring for a while and actually announce quitting the announce table for WWE.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Enforcer Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I really hope that Styles stays full time on Raw... he is the natural replacement for J.R and did great at TT. If the decision was mine he'd be there full time on any money he wanted!!! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
