Half these kids don't have a career, so they couldn't possibly relate to JR on any level. Just let them be ignorant jackassess It isn't too hard to imagine JR's position. The guy is made for the rest of his life. He should quit being greedy... gracefully step down and let someone else have a chance. One doesn't have to be in his position to understand the fundamentals of his situation. Who is that someone though?? Michael Cole who on more then one occasion as failed at being the color man on Raw? The Coach, who is no longer in WWE and also failed at being the color man on Raw?? Joey Styles who for the 40 Billionth time has said he doesnt want to be a color commentator anymore? JBL who's gone back to wrestling? Mick Foley who you know isnt gonna hang around long. Maybe they should give Tony Schiavone a call so every monday night will be "The greatest night in the history of our sport" Plain and simple like him or not JR is the voice of Monday Night Raw and there isnt anyone who can replace him. He will be back in due time when they realize AGAIN that Michael Cole cant cut it.

Michael Cole's goofy, cartoonish delivery was much more suited for SmackDown, in my personal opinion. He isn't a terrible commentator, but I think his presence in the place of a legend like Ross definitely makes the show feel less like the top show. I completely agree When you watch Raw you expect to hear JR is just going to be wrong with Cole announcing.

"Good ol' JR" is just a character on the show. Jim Ross has a very important role within wweoutside of announcing. you have to be able to seperate the two. same as Vince and "Mr. McMahon." these are two completely different personalities.

I think Vince is trying to be a ball buster with JR. JR has been very badly treated by Vince over his Bell's Palsy, and his colon surgeries and had to join the "KISS my Ass" club in his home city on RAW, and be involved in other angles. I could not blame him for being upset and nearly quitting. This is no way to treat someone. I am sorry, JR is, and I know he is not the announcer he once was, but JR is the "voice" of RAW. Everytime they have tried to replace him, be it with Joey Styles, the "Coach" or Michael Cole, they have ALWAYS brought him back. Now, when they see that Cole is not going to be able to cut it, AGAIN, they will bring back Good Ol' JR. They just do not seem to learn.

I'm pretty sure Vince and the writers asked him if he would do the kiss my ass thing and if it was alright for Vince to do the colon thing.
