The problem was, most of the time Nault wasn't a voice of reason, just a voice of negativity. He was down on the team when they deserved it, but he was just as likely to be down on them when they didn't. I think he was assigned the role of heel.
It didn't help that he has that naturally glum-sounding voice, which makes his takes sound even more negative and makes you wonder why he even bothers being there.
I've been known to say that a wise man would rather be right than happy, and a fool would rather be happy than right. Nault came across as someone who would rather be unhappy than right. I don't know if he's like that in person, but his on-air persona seemed that way.
