Why though?

4 fucking man? Get the fuck out of here.

[Hanley!]

Why stop at 4?

Dear lord, please tell me they will do a split broadcast like they used to do with Nitro where two announcers work the first hour and two the second hour or something similar. If they go to four guys talking each match I'll have to watch SD on mute.

It didn't occur to me that they might be splitting them up into two teams of two. That's less bad.

Actually, I'd bet that they go with two teams of three instead. They'll keep Mauro and JBL and put Phillips on instead of the lawyer dude whose name I always forget for the second hour of the show. Which is still stupid. But better than four people talking over each other on commentary.

That lawyer dude fucking sucks too, so it's possible that they're checking if Phillips is any good at it before removing Harvard guy from the announce table forever. That'd be an improvement at least. Phillips can't possibly be any worse than this guy, despite his lack of a celebrity wife.

Still, I'd just cut the third guy and go back to a two person team. It just makes more sense that way.

Thank you, that was bothering me.

The next step in their plan to sabotage Smackdown so it isn't getting more buzz than Raw.
