The greatest commentator in SmackDown history is leaving the announcers booth, and heading to Raw to compete as a full-time wrestler. I think we should commemorate our wrestling god's tenure alongside Michael Cole by: (a) praying that he'll lariat DX's heads off when he goes to Raw, and (b) posting our favourite quotes from his time on commentary. What were his best BURNS on Miz and Cole? How did he best describe MVP's awesomeness? Post them all here.

 

I'll start us off with some of his signature quotes:

 

"They're fun to watch, Michael!"

 

"He smells like smoke 'cause he's been through fire."

 

"Six billion people on the planet and he's the strongest."

 

"Jimmy Wang Yang is NOT a redneck!"

 

"C'mon Michael, YEEHAW!"

 

"When the lights are on bright ..."

 

"The name Guerrero means warrior."

 

"Enjoy them while they're here, because they won't be here long."

 

"They'll be crying on the Internet."

 

"I'm not your partner, Cole!"

 

"They're a car crash waiting to happen."

 

"He's not a troll, he's a leprechaun, there's a whole family of them living under the ring!"

 

"He has parents - their names are Mr. and Mrs. Bastard and they live under the ring."

 

"Helms is SmackDown's best kept secret."

 

"Longest reign in SmackDown history."

 

"And now he makes a living saying one word."

 

"BALL IN!"

 

"It's great to be me."

 

"He's trying to protect his leprechaun!"

 

"The punches that knock you out are the ones you don't see coming."

 

"It's the next Mrs. Layfield!"

 

"The hottest women on television!"

 

"TORRIE WILSON! TORRIE WILSON! GODDAMN WE GOT TORRIE WILSON!"

 

"Rey Mysterio has a lot of machismo."

 

"Finlay has always wanted to be a world champion."

 

"He grew up fighting in bars in a warzone in Belfast, where fighting was the only way to survive."

 

"I LOVE IT!"

 

"The fat lady is about to sing!"

 

"Why don't you go wear a Matt Hardy T-shirt?"

 

"Smashmouth wrestling, I love it!"

 

"Dave Taylor's grandfather wrestled at the 1932 Olympics."

 

"He's half man, half amazing, half tag team champion, the only man with three halves!"

 

"Oh, now you're Nostradamus?"

 

"Here on SmackDown, the A-Show."

 

"He could do something truly great - he could rid professional wrestling of the Miz."

 

"Look at this reality-TV star punk in his Red Rooster starter kit."

 

"He's wearing a dress in the wrestling ring! That should be a felony!"

 

"There's no such thing as a brave Frenchman, it's an oxymoron."

 

"BALLGAME!"

"i am what i say that i am, i am a wrestling god".
Actually, Santino is the only reason I enjoy promo's these days and Im not even remotely intereseted in JBL returning. I think the guy is a f*cking idiot. The feud with Jericho will be so boring.

Santino is cool, but JBL is THE man, despite what you think

I think I'm going to enjoy JBL back in the ring almost as much as I'm going to miss him on commentary. Which is alot for those of you not in the know.
as happy as i am to see him back in the ring i wished he could have still commentated on smackdown at the same time :( my royal rumble favourite is now JBL!
I'm opening myself up to be proven wrong here, but I infinitely prefer JBL as a Smackdown commentator than any kind of wrestler. I love his promos as much as anyone, but I still prefer him as an announcer. Put it this way, as a commentator, we get him talking THE ENTIRE SHOW, he's not in the way and he's putting over almost everyone on the show. As a wrestler, he might cut a promo every week, and he will WRESTLE. To me, JBL returning to the ring just equals less JBL talking and more JBL wrestling, not to mention the loss to my personal Smackdown viewing pleasure.
I rather watch Mark Henry try to wrestle.

I assume the reason he's coming back is due to the device that he talked about on WWE.com just after he started commentating. Apparently it somehow tries to correct spinal errors without surgery. Nice that they hopefully have a good way to avoid surgery. Now give it to people on the NHS, cause I'll need that in a few years. Back problems seriously suck...

 

Still, I'd much prefer him to carry on commentating, as he really is the best thing ever to happen to SD! commentary. Not dissing Tazz or anything, but JBL bounces really well off Cole, since he's almost totally heel. And I love how he puts people over, even the guys he's "hates", while telling you how much he hates them. It's just very clever.

I'm not looking forward to this. He's potentially the best commentater ever, oh, that's right, EVER! Now, instead, we get a washed up ex-wrestler making me forget why I ever LOVED him in the first place through terrible matches and dead-as-Benoit crowds....fighting JBL.

Chris Harris is going to sue you for gimmick infringement if you keep this up.:lol

uh oh he went there

 

JBL was a pretty damn decent commentator, especially when he bluntly told Michael Cole to shut up on TV

 

think he'll be hard-pressed to be as much of a ******* heel as he was back when he was champion

It would of been great news... if he stayed on Smackdown. Why they felt the need to shift him is completely stupid, do they forget that he attacked batista and taker? play off that and stick him in the badly needed SD main event! Heel edge v.s Heel JBL could be gold if worked right too.

Please save us from JBL

 

I don't think JBL is going to RAW to be an annoucer. That's what he said on Smackdown. I think he's actually coming out of retirement to wrestle. He said he is going after the WWE title. My question is who is going to replace him on Smackdown?

I prefer him as a commentator. I was never a big fan of his wrestling. He was a great SD! commentator. I don't like this Y2J/JBL feud.. much preferred the Orton/Jericho feud =D

Who thought he was coming as an announcer? Even WWE.com openly said he's going to RAW as an active wrestler.

 

I wouldn't be suprised if it was just Taz again. He's there for ECW anyway. I'd rather they put Taz on Smackdown and bought in Heyman for ECW, but that will clearly never happen.

If Taz goes to Smackdown, Elijah Burke needs to be on commentary on ECW.

they should bring back cyrus the virus as ECW colour commentator =D have him as a sci-fi channel representative that whines about not enough "sci-fi relative material" being on ecw

I loved Cyrus...hell, I loved the Jackyl. He's one of the most under rated talkers ever, I'd love to see him back.

We won't get to see him wrestle though :sad5:

 

Heyman would be good but as has been said very doubtful.

Just stick Jamie Noble on SD commentary and all shall be right with the world again.
