Well, we could hope for Mike Tenay, the best commentator in wrestling today, but unfortunately he's under contract to TNA, the guy is so good he's even helping TNA's other commentators (who used to be worse than The Coach) become better as his skills rub off on them!

Oh God, no.
If he was as good as he was in ECW for the late 1990s, then that'd be great, but have you heard him on the last few MLW tapings? Awful, really bad stuff. Getting hyper for no reason other than it's his 'gimmick', not being able to call the moves anymore, and making a point of the big leagues being terrible through large swathes of the tapings.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure he'd turn it down if he was offered a WWE contract. He has before, I've heard, and beyond that, he's just not a popular guy to hire for most wrestlers, so it'd be a bad move, I reckon.
Eric Garguilo and John House are my favourite team at the moment, because they each suit CZW down to the ground, although CM Punk is a superb guest colour commentator. Actually, Best Guest Commentator goes to Alex Shelley, because he's he smart, quick-witted and hilarious.
So, in short, Jim Ross bad, Joey Styles better, but not much better.
The ways things are now is that virtually EVERYONE has held a championship belt at some point thus stripping any prestige holding a title had. Wrestlers now just dont seem to get the craft of it either. Its punch, kick, punch, maybe a body slam, another punch. I got into wrestling in the late eighties and you'd see pile drivers, spike pile drivers, suplexes, big elbows ( proper jumping ones not just pathetically falling down onto the opponent with your elbow out aka The Rock etc).
Dont get me wrong, theres some good talent out there, Chris Benoit being a prime example but they're all too shackled by the rushed plotlines and having to be good actors over good wrestlers. Vince needs to get back to basics. Less is most definitely more!!!

Well hopefully when Jim Ross calls it a day, WWE will realise that The Coach is useless and be forced to hire Joey Styles...
