Josh Matthews needs to be out altogether. I know Jim Ross or Tony Schiavone are too much to ask for, and bringing back Mike Tenay probably is as well. But Matt Striker, Kevin Kelly or even Todd Keneley would be a huge upgrade over Matthews.
I’ll have to see about Borash as a play by play guy. If it gets him out of the ring announcer spot, that will be great. Bring back David Penzer.
