He's not even a full heel since he loves Gallagher and hates Samson. But he sticks to his character which is great.

Yep, JJ's, Hansen's & Lou's are available from Crowbar Press in print or ebook and The Destroyer's book is available on amazon - the only one that's difficult to find is Gary Hart's, as it's long out of print and goes for a fair bit of money. There's a PDF version floating around if you google it, though.

Gary Hart's is hard to get, I mean I have it but look at this:

Corey hating on Enzo is the best.
His commentary during the RR with Enzo and Brock was fantastic.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
He just has really strong opinions on various gimmicks for some reason.
Which involves losing his fucking mind at Eva Marie and Mandy Rose. The dynamic is a little weird on Raw since he doesn't seem to be allowed to shit on Cole very much and mostly just shits on Byron, but everyone shits on Byron.
How have you not heard about these, Kaladin? I thought you lived this business.
I'm not always as familiar with the super old school stuff like that.

Its funny how all of the wrestlers on Jericho's podcast already read all of his book and know all of the funny stories he has.

So now that the dust has settled, we're all in agreement that Miz deserved to main event Mania more than Punk after all, right?

That's why I can't support any of these so called heel commentators today. Jbl should downright hate Cena for ending his title reign but he kisses his ass all of the time. He'll go full blown out heel on Ellsworth but can't keep it up for the entire 2 or 3 hours without slipping.
Corey,is even less consistent and tries too hard at times.
I hated that as soon as king was finding his stride again, they sent him to the pre show and now to just special guest role.
Bobby and king were awesome about keeping that heel attitude. Even when Hart became a heel King still couldn't pull himself to outside cheer for hart because of their bad blood but he supported some of the heel stuff he did.
Aries is really killing it, he only slips up when it comes to Jack G.

He's using his veteran locker room leader cred to make the green jabronis read it and smarten them up to the biz.
I wouldn't say "more than". Punk definitely should've been in the main event of 29.

"Dean Ambrose is kinda like, well he doesn't have anything for Wrestlemania at this point. I suppose they could do something for the IC title, I mean like a multiple person match or something, but y'know we'll see. There's already a lot of matches on the card and there's the battle royal and everything, but they could still add something. He may be subjected to being on the pre-show at this rate unless he's in that battle royal"
Interesting, and people were convinced him with the IC title was a fake drop down the card like Roman Reigns was.

Outside of facing The Rock this was never going to happen.

Punk vs Cena certainly should have been the main event of 29. Would have been lit. As that match on Raw just weeks before proved.

Grimace should be ashamed of himself posting that in the ot.

Then he should have faced the fucking Rock. But no, Cena needed his win back.
Grimace is not ashamed of himself.

King is awful now, though. You can hear the cogs turning as he tries to find jokes, and he's always a few seconds behind anything important. It's very awkward.
Cory is much more consistent on NXT than on Raw, where I think he's still trying to find his footing.
It's a fair question.

It's because he interacts with Tom Phillips a lot more than he interacts with Michael Cole. His role on Raw is mostly just shitting on Byron's delusional shit, but he doesn't actively challenge Cole very often.
Cole's not going to be around much longer anyways though. The rumor is that he wants to move into production and that presumably means Philips will move to play-by-play on either SD or Raw.
Cena's salute reminded me of a question I had. During his mid-2000's era, did he ever catch any flak for pretty much pretending to be a marine?
Like I know Randy turned down the role in The Marine because of his discharge, but I just thought it was weird how much they pushed Cena into that kind of role.
Good, with as much talent as they have in the booth now, they don't need him there.
Save that pop of him leaving for Raw after Mania though. It would be huge.
Look it up. It's always either been tag team crap, ladder match clusterfucks, or battle royals.

Fuck John Cena
Cole should really be the one on the headset telling announcers what to say, not Vince.
I really want someone to shop in "50/50 booking" into the fireworks

They should bring back heel Cole for a night just to fuck with everyone and then he quits at the end of the episode.
Definitely - he seems 100% like a guy who would call someone out for being a poseur so his equal hatred of headbanging Becky Lynch and then Elias Samson made perfect sense.
Heenan being right about Hogan all along was one of the greatest moments in the history of our sport.
We already have the commentary dream team of Mauro and Corey. It should be those two on every show. Everyone else who does commentary for WWE is actual human garbage.
I've been watching all of the Nitros from 1998 and reading this current line of discussion brought into focus something that I've been thinking about on and off for almost 20 years now.
WCW has two heel commentators on their Nitro broadcast booth, but both of them hate the NWO so much that it basically turned them 100% face.
Nitro doesn't get a real heel commentator again until Mark Madden.

That'd be too good unfortunately, and besides, if Cole is out of the picture, Vince's full attention will be to Mauro's ear.
Cole isn't a bad commentator when Vince isn't on his ass, just look at the UK Championship.

Random thought: What would a Cena vs. Riddle match be like?
I want to see that before Cena retires.

Also I was just watching some random 2010 YouTube segment with Heel Cole where he has this whole group of security guards to protect him from Daniel Bryan (since his heel turn was based around hating on Daniel Bryan for some reason) and I noticed one of the security guards is way shorter than the others. Because its Johnny Gargano trying his hardest to look tough.
No
Present day Miz deserves to be in the main event of Mania more than Punk. The Miz that did main event Mania didn't.
I thought Graves was pretty lame when I saw him wrestle once or twice. But he's good as a commentator.
The Miz would probably end up being bad, but at least I wouldn't have to see him wrestle. >_>
Heenan and Zbyszko still consistently heeled it up. It just depended on who was involved in each match, etc. etc.
