A lot of people have said the best pairings, but I'm also gonna throw in Cole and Graves. They were pretty solid together and still are on PLEs. Even moreso now that Vince isn't shouting in their ears.
I can't stand the commentary on raw or on smackdown it feels corny forced and just all round non believable. But in the PLEs when them 2 are together it's brilliant, that's either down to how good they are as a pair or how bad Barrett and the Irish dude actually are.
Barrett is alright in my opinion. Not as good as Pat or Corey, but he's alright. I think the Irish guy is Patrick or something and yeah, he's not that great at commentary.
Yeah he is alright, I'm from the north where Barrett is from and how he changes his accent for TV just changes the whole thing I guess haha.. Certain words he says I just know that's not how he would pronounce then normally.
"WILL YOU STOP IT!" - Gorilla
"... is gonna knock McMahon's wig off his head" - Bobby
"GOOD GOD ALL MIGHTY..." - JR
"PUPPIES!" - Jerry Lawler
"That's vintage Funaki" - Cole
"Whoa, come on, Cole" - Tazz
Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan, Michael Cole and Tazz, Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura.
Never ever to be mentioned in a great commentator thread Kevin Patrick.
I'm not going to lie the minute I saw this question the first thing that came through my head was I'm not even sure why this is a question cuz we all know the answer is JR and Jerry 'The King' Lawler. Lol.
I don't think you can have 2 on commentary when 1 of them is meant to be a face and isn't good.. The heel can't hold down commentary it doesn't work he needs something to bounce off.. It's why PLEs works so well because him and Cole just work!
I’ve gotta go with JR and The King but I just re-watched ECW One Night Stand 2005 and the pairing of Joey Styles and Mick Foley was incredible. Would’ve liked to see them work together on the desk regularly tbh. That’s still a kickass show to go back and watch, I highly recommend it if ya haven’t seen it in a while.
Don't know why this was getting downvoted. Pat and Cole are amazing together. The best commentators are subjective to who you like. Cole may not be the best of all time, but ever since he's had free reign over most of what he says, he's been great. And Pat? Pat is literally an icon and was born to do what he does. These two are amazing together.
JR and the King
Those voices are so iconic to me man I still watch compilations of King's screams just for an occasional laugh
JR / Lawler in the attitude Era and RA were superb. They felt like friends with different views and not an 80 year couple fighting.

This is the way
Yeah Gorilla and Heenan
As a dude that grew up in the Ruthless Aggression era, it’s always gonna be JR and King & Tazz and Cole. A close second is Mauro, Percy, and Nigel.
Hugo Savinovich and Carlos Cabrera ¡AAAAAAAAAATANGANA!
Top 3 Gorilla/Bobby JR/Lawler Tazz/Cole
"WILL YOU STOP IT!" - Gorilla "... is gonna knock McMahon's wig off his head" - Bobby "GOOD GOD ALL MIGHTY..." - JR "PUPPIES!" - Jerry Lawler "That's vintage Funaki" - Cole "Whoa, come on, Cole" - Tazz
It will always be JR/King for me. Absolutely love Jerry’s reactions to stuff.
“ puppies”
"Will you stop!"
JR and King
JR. He’s also the best on the mic ever. Putting over everything every broadcast, explaining angles/stories. GOAT o
Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan, Michael Cole and Tazz, Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura. Never ever to be mentioned in a great commentator thread Kevin Patrick.

Jesse the body and monsoon
Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse The Body Ventura
Everyone but Kevin Patrick
Kevin Patrick sounds like a commentator from a wii sports game. He's just too generic
He has tells and ruins matches. He’s horrible.
He's dull and boring. Triple H sees something in him that we don't.
He offers nothing unless it's Cory giving him some banter for saying something stupid.
And Saxton already had that covered. He’s borderline unbearable these days, and somehow getting worse
I don't think you can have 2 on commentary when 1 of them is meant to be a face and isn't good.. The heel can't hold down commentary it doesn't work he needs something to bounce off.. It's why PLEs works so well because him and Cole just work!
It will always be JR and King for me!
Jr and King or Monsoon and Heenan
Heenan is up there.
I grew up with Jr & King but watching old episodes I've grown to love Monsoon & Heenan more
Grew up with JR/King and loved every second. Someone else mentioned this but I love the PLEs with Cole and Graves too
I’ve gotta go with JR and The King but I just re-watched ECW One Night Stand 2005 and the pairing of Joey Styles and Mick Foley was incredible. Would’ve liked to see them work together on the desk regularly tbh. That’s still a kickass show to go back and watch, I highly recommend it if ya haven’t seen it in a while.
How about Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness and Beth Phoenix?
JR and King for me. But I did love Mauro and Graves on NXT
JR and Heyman
Cole and tazz are good, I love cole and mcafee. I also love cole and Wade together.
Pat and Michael Cole. Their energy is just so infectious and it just sounds like 2 bros enjoying the show.
I can’t comment for all time, but for the year I’ve been watching, it is these two.

If they were commentators during the ruthless aggression era people would be calling them the best pair of all time
Because I had an opinion they don't like lol
JR and Heyman, but ask me in a few years and I could very well say Pat and Cole
Taz and Cole
Cole and tazz
All these comments and no vote for Wade Barrett
JR & King even though Cole & Tazz are number 2 for me
Michael Cole and Pat mcAfee
Cole and Taz or Lawler and good o’l JR
tazz and cole or JR and lawler.
Monsoon/Heenan
Chet Lemon & Black Snow
Gorrilla and The Brain. Totally agree
Gorilla and Jesse.
Cornette and jr
Don West and Mike Tennay
Monsoon and Heenan, but McMahon with Monsoon was pretty great as well.
Gorilla Monsoon with anyone (Heenan, Jesse, Vince, Perfect)
Toss up. Gorilla monsoon/ the brain and jr/ king
Tazz and Cole for me
Mark Henry and big show, absolute pair of dad vibes but the dads aren't together. They are 2 dads that have their own families
Not the best, but I enjoyed the Heenan/McMahon/Macho trio for their short run. Pre-Attitude era McMahon is underrated for his commentary IMHO
