    Stacy Carter (The Kat, Lawlers wife at the time) was fired after No Way Out for disruptive attitude i believe, and Lawler walked out in protest. He did a stint for XWF during that period and was re-hired after Survivor Series 2001.

    I really enjoyed it when King wasn't there.

    As much as i enjoy Lawler (cos JR hasn't been good on commentary for years!), Heyman was a refreshing change. Plus the legit hate both guys had for each other at the time, it made for really interesting commentary.

    I loved when Heyman was commentating. I can still remember a classic moment on Raw:

    JR: I think Regal's got another trick up his sleeves
    Heyman: But he's not wearing any sleeves
    JR: His proverbial sleeves...
    Heyman: But he's not wearing any proverbial sleeves

    Lawler at the time would never STFU about puppies which was very tedious.

    I loved when he would tell JR to go in the ring and help the stricken face. I recall one incidence where Heyman really annoyed JR over a jibe about Oklahoma. JR momentarily lost his cool. It was a good tv moment.

    There's a really good moment at Wrestlemania during the Austin v Rock match, actually there are two of them!

    The first one was when Heyman said "with you being from Oklahoma, why do you care about Texas so much?"

    The other was when he was really laying it to JR about Austin being his friend where JR snaps and yells at him "What do you care? it's none of your damn business if he's my friend!"

    Priceless :D

    JR would be giving a backstory of a match for the fans on camera before a video package,and Heyman would be just staring a hole through him throughout the whole thing,made for good tv is right :D

    Heyman and JR were by far my favourite commentary team. So many great moments.

    Heyman taking shots at JR and staring at him was priceless. And JR would take the odd shot at Heyman about the fall of ECW or his hair. Great stuff.

    I remember Heyman taking the piss out of JR's Cowboy hat and JR responding with "Nice Ponytail!"

    The King was getting very stale at the time anyway as he was face and having two face commentators is never good.

    Heyman has always been great at commentary. Not quite as good as Heenan, but up there.
