SYDNEYEIGHT: So sad to see Jim Ross turn into nothing but a shell of his
former self, acting worse than Schiavonne at his worst, because while Tony
was a corporate whore at least I KNOW Ross can do better than this.

DON L: Jonathan Coachman on Heat is truly awful, A match is going on and he
acts like none of it matters but wants to get his lame catchphrases in.
