#4 Stop over producing the announce team

Raw's announce team: Jonathan Coachman, Michael Cole and Corey Graves

In the recent times, the WWE love to produce there announce teams as much as possible. Many former WWE commentators including Mick Foley and Tazz have commented how difficult they have found coping with Vince McMahon constantly barking out instructions.

It has not always been this way, although WWE's announce teams have been produced for a long time, there was a time when you'd hear Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler or even Paul Heyman interacting with each other and eliciting a more organic reaction based on the events of the night.

The traditionally defined roles of a face play-by-play announcer alongside a heel colour commentator are gone and has been replaced standard announcers that don't add energy or raw emotion to the product.

Giving the announce team more autonomy over their announcing can make the show more engaging and allow for a more natural response. A wrestling show should feel as less scripted as possible and this should be reflected in the announcing.
