As per WC as per PWInsider
I think JR is still a good announcer and even though he's 50% of what he was he's still better than most, he needs to suck it up and just do his job. It's not like he was fired. Plus, given his condition and his outside stuff, you would think that he would welcome the easier schedule of SD.
On the other hand, they should just fire Cole and bring back Joey Styles.

JR is the biggest crybaby. He always makes those smart ass remarks too like "oh well one can't grieve forever we have a show to do". Just do your fuckin job and shut the fuck up.

When you can pregnant dog and moan about which day of the week you get paid to commentate on professional fucking wrestling. It's dumb that they (apparently?) didn't give the movers any warning, but that ranks pretty low on the Shitty Things That Happen To You In The Wrestling Business scale. Wrestling: where even the commentators are marks for themselves. Sheesh. |

I wish I could pregnant dog about being switched from one wrestling show to another equally successful show. |

Wait, so whats the real big deal here? Its not like riding into the sunset. In a way I am very much looking forward to hearing what Mick and JR can do.
The only downside is JR is the John Madden of Raw. Neither man is at they're prime but sometimes you just need to hear they're voices to know the world is allright.

I was thinking the same thing earlier. If I got paid to be apart of a wrestling program every single week as a fan(which JR refers to himself as well) and never had to get my hands dirty or take any bumps, I think I'd take an oozie to Smackdown and shoot up the management to show my unappreciation for being apart of it all. It's true JR is a mark for himself.

I can understand him being grumpy about not being told he was moving if that was the case but if he carries on pregnant doging about it then thats just sad.

Yeah but the thing is that no one was told until it happened that they were moving (reportedly). And since the announcers don't usually know what will happen anyway, and they kept hyping that announcers were eligible, then it only makes sense that they could move without knowing about it.
I actually like the possibility of JR and Mick, and I think Mike Adamle is slowly getting better. I would have loved to see JR and Tazz team up, but it seems like WWE would rather subject us to Michael Cole and King each week. I'd rather they just cut and past old Gorilla/Heenan commentary together than listen to those two.

Changes in one’s life take some adjusting to especially at my stage of the game. This week I received an unexpected change in my professional address. Within hours of writing an emotional blog, I am positively moving on. I am going to do all I can to make Smackdown the best program the WWE produces. Working side by side with Mick Foley should be fun. It will be entertaining I assure you. Mick is a great friend and a man I greatly respect. The Smackdown roster is loaded with exceptional talent and the WWE wants the brand to grow and I intend to do all that I can in my role to facilitate that growth.
The abruptness of the “trade” shocked me. I most likely responded in a non professional way in the eyes of some fans. That’s their prerogative and each has the right to their opinion, As do I. Not to be cliche, but wrestling has been great to my family and me. I owe it to the business to “man up” and to kick ass on Smackdown. That’s my plan. My emotions are what they are and I will not apologize for my candor or honesty. My feathers were ruffled…poor me. I still bring bona fide passion to every broadcast and fully expect to deliver come show time. As I write this I am in the midst of some travel delays, but I will definitely be in Houston and will be looking forward to “business picking up”. I will practice what I have preached and feel that after sleeping on this major change all things happen for a reason. Life is good. My tank has been re-fueled. Let’s have some fun. For those of you that were offended by my earlier rant I apologize. For those that think “old J.R.” can’t get the job done, I suggest you sit back and watch. I wish my good pal The King and Michael Cole great success but my professional priority is to help Smackdown kick ass. In more ways than one, “the game is on”.
Boomer Sooner!
J.R.

That's the spirit! JR goes back up a little in my estimation. He was man enough to admit he reacted badly.

That's good of JR. He really needs a change of pace. Hopefully Foley can give him that. Foley and JR have always been on good terms so hopefully they have chemistry.

I forgot what JR sounds like without some asshole screaming about puppies around him so this should be great.
