JR's been apart of the WWE for a long long time..theres no way they would just fire his ass after all those years
unless jerry the king fucked him up
Bramsterdam (see ya):
Shitty to see him go, him and the king make matches fun to watch

They should bring in Joey Styles (Duh!) I can't believe they're not doing that. Greatest announcer ever, outside of Bobby Heenan.

The way the WWE is now they don't want wrestling guys in those roles. Why, I don't know. The guy that was supposed to take JRs spot is Mike Goldberg, a UFC announcer that knows noothing about wrestling. He turned it down because he wants to break into real sports like NBA or NFL and working for WWE would be a huge setback. JR is still one of the best play by play guys they could have. Joey is great but I doubt we'll see him. Mike Tenay may be the best working at the moment. Heened isn't the best, far from it. He's a colour man not a play by play guy. He's there to add input or be funny. He's in the same category as Jesse Ventura, Lawler, or Rody Piper once upon a time. Say what you want about JR but very few can call match as well as he could. Among that very few is the single greatest play by play man ever; Gordon Soley.

Hennan was definately the best, without a doubt the most entertaining announcer they ever had.

Yeah but he wasn't a play by play man. You need a play by play man and a color man. The difference is like being a good entertainer in the ring like Hogan and being a good wrestler in the ring like Harley Race. Heenan can't call a match like JR could and Hogan couldn't wrestle a match like Harley. Who's better can go either way but the roles are different. One is there to make jokes and add heat to wrestlers and the other is there to help tell the story of the match and build the match as it takes place.
