#9 Two-man announce team

Enter capt
Jim Ross & Jerry "The King" Lawler

A combination of Michael Cole, Tazz, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Johnathan Coachman and Paul Heyman among others, called the majority of WWE programming throughout the early 2000’s.

However, it was almost always as a two-man announce team unless playing up tension among them via storyline (Coach coming out to call with Lawler and Ross to lead to a match).

Fast forward to today and you will only find three, and for a short time, four-man booths on Raw, Smackdown and NXT programming. There may be instances of a two man booth of minor shows such as 205 Live or Main Event, but the top tier shows all feature three-man announce teams.
