Lawler + anyone but JR is awful. It's important to have announcers that you have chemistry with. It's why Taz/JBL and Cole worked, Josh and Stryker worked, and it's why JR and King worked. Booker T is a chameleon and can fit with all of them.

It doesn't help that we're all of a sudden supposed to forget that King and Cole hated each other so much that they had a match, then never spoke of it again. Even as a face, King works with JR because they've been a team for so long. They know how to bounce things off each other, and they've been in the game long enough to know what works and what doesn't, McMahon be damned.

You know Lawler + McMahon was an awesome team. Mostly because McMahon was awesome as a play-by-play announcer though.
 
Impact quarter hour breakdown

"Q1: The show after a PPV, Impact opened with a year-low 0.99 rating, which followed last week's year-low 1.03 rating in Q1. The segment featured Bobby Roode's seemingly-weekly show-opening confrontation with Sting, set up for a World Title match, and one full commercial break. (down 15.9% vs. 2011-Q1 average)

Q2: Impact increased slightly to a 1.03 rating for the Roode vs. Jeff Hardy TNA World Title match and one commercial break. (down 10.9% vs. 2011-Q2 average)

Q3: Impact dropped slightly to a 1.00 rating for post-match activity and two commercial breaks following the title match. (down 14.3% vs. 2011-Q3 average)

Q4: Impact increased slightly to a first-hour-high 1.04 rating for the X Division tag match, plus one commercial break. (down 7.5% vs. 2011-Q4 average)

Second Hour Break Down

Q5: Impact jumped to a 1.23 rating for the Knockouts battle royal and pre and post-match activity. There was also one commercial break. (even vs. 2011-Q5 average of a 1.23 rating)

Q6: After increasing 18 percent in Q5, Impact declined 18 percent in Q6 to a 1.00 rating, which is where TNA hovered for most of the first hour. The segment featured Eric Bischoff's celebratory promo, various non-wrestling and backstage segments, and one commercial break. (down 13.8% vs. 2011-Q6 average)

Q7: Impact steadily rebounded in the final half-hour, starting with a 1.04 rating in Q7. The segment featured the Bully Ray vs. James Storm #1 contender match and one commercial break. (down 8.8% vs. 2011-Q7 average)

Q8: Impact increased to a 1.11 rating (even with the previous two weeks) for the post-match angle involving Ray, Storm, and NFL star Brandon Jacobs, followed by one commercial break, Sting setting up Roode vs. Storm at Lockdown, and Roode's show-ending attack on Sting. (down 5.7% vs. 2011-Q8 average) "


This is pretty horrible.

Knockouts and NFL stars = ratings.

They were crying about Santino but after seeing the lineup in that final match, yeah it's not so bad after all, I had no idea WWE was so overrun with jobbers.

Yeah, he was basically the only name in the battle royal. Weird how they just removed
Orton
unless he's injured again.

Probably be a swerve on Sunday, anyway.
 
Alright, I need you guys watching US Smackdown at its regular time to tell me if they edited out Bryan
spitting on Sheamus.
Cause they definitely did on the early upload from wherever this is shown.

EDIT: My God, the end of Smackdown might be the highest concentration of jobbers in one ring EVER in HISTORY.

Could be though it seemed he reinjured his back again after he RKO'd the big show the second time. He got up very slow.

They edited it out of the late night UK broadcast. Really weird.
 
So...random Tag Team match to start?

I thought there was usually an argument, then Teddy comes out and is all like, "Tag Team playa!" and then it happens.

I still hate Barrett's new theme.

Only one person actually named a line, and it was "puppies". Which was stupid, and overused more than "vintage". Guzim named a line Vince said, LOL. Everyone else was vaguely aware that they liked some Lawler commentary but couldn't actually say a line.

You asked people to name lines, me and a few others told you about matches where he has plenty. But this is clearly one of those situations where Person A asks Person B to convince them of something, even though Person A has already decided to not change their mind. So I'm not even going to bother anymore.
