Oh yeah I'm sure he has some brain issues by this point. Beyond that, his knees are shot and at one point I heard he couldn't even bend down to tie his own shoes. Like, in 1999 he was pretty much done which is why he was teaming with Rock and not doing too much. But then he kept on going... and going... and now he's pretty broken down.

Hard to speculate, seeing as how odd the human brain is in responce to concussions, but I would have to imagine he's not firing on all cylinders. The memory loss thing is pretty scary. And I was recently watching some of his work with The Rock and my God, the poor bastard looks to be in agony doing their double people's elbow spot.

Oh, yeah, Mick's body is hosed by this point. The Wife Swap episode he done basically outlines that his life is run by Colette, because he can't do much physically any more. I'd still sit in his lounge like  and listen to ALL of his stories.

Yeah as much as I loved his work with Orton and Edge and stuff, I wish he had hung it up in '99 permanently for his own sake.

Was it ever confirmed if that was why he couldn't pass his physical? I wonder if he woulda kept going if he was able to work in the E.

Rock got pinned by Foley IIRC correctly and it had a REALLY jarring shot from the pallete he was crushin him with's point of view with some terrible Rock acting.

This was from Halftime HEAT during the Super Bowl. Other great moments from this match include Rock throwing salsa in Foley's face and then tasting it and saying "That was mild you big baby!"

What do you guys think is the best hyped new match type? Ignore the match quality, just think about before the first time you saw one, did they succeed in hyping you up. Personally, even though it was bad, my favorite may be the Punjabi Prison. JBL completely sold me on this with it being this lurking specter that was whispered about by all the old hands when he was wrestling in Asia and Europe. Seriously, he made it sound like you would surely die if you even saw one.

There were a couple of lame ECs in the middle of last decade, but the last bad one I can think of is the 06 match that Edge cashed in after.

So JR being kind of poo poo on commentary got me thinking that a big reason why was because it was a three man booth. I guess the way I see it a three man booth is ultimately pointless because you have the play-by-play, the color and then a third guy to... I dunno, sit there and chime in with something every so often? Cole had play-by-play, JBL had color so that kind of left JR to play third wheel. So my question is, is there a point to three man booths as opposed to a two man booth and if so what are some great three man booths?

I hope you mean at the time (I didn't watch when they did those three together) because JR has never been poo poo on commentary.

Vince with two screaming lunatics. I always liked Savage and Heenan with either Vince or JR too.

Tonight he contributed nothing of relevance, stumbled over what words he did make, and threw out a bunch of non-sequitors as if he was commentary from a sports game. JR was bad tonight.

Well it'll probably be back to two man next week since JBL is done now. And I'd imagine it won't be too long before Lawler is back at the rate he's recovering.

The ending of that one was John Cena rolling up Chris Masters and then Carlito to win. It might have been the other way round but the main point is that two of the last three people in there were Chris Masters and Carlito and they were put away with roll ups. Yeesh. Also I don't know about the best but the worst three man commentator team has got to be that period when it was Coachman, Styles and Lawler. Then they had put them with the smackdown commentators so you had two commentator teams arguing during the smackdown vs raw match and it sucked a big fat dick.

JR has never seemed to do well in three-man booths. It always feels like he sits back and lets the other two have their back-and-forth while just occasionally throwing out a comment.
