The reason why Jerry Lawler did most of the talking on RAW (especially during the Batista stuff) was because Vince McMahon quite frankly doesn't really like Michael Cole right now. Cole announces the way he does to try and please Vince, so he doesn't get fired or lose his spot. Vince consistently screams in Cole's ear. Vince had Lawler to call the Batista stuff because he doesn't trust Cole to get the big angles over.

How tough is it to sell a guy's arm being worked over? Even Michael Cole could call that. Orton's attack spoke for itself. To be honest, I don't recall one damn thing King said. I was focused on the arm-raping going on in the ring.

So, with all this chaos going on, are we getting closer and closer to a real-life Crazy Vince?

Wasn't there another story several years ago where Vince criticized Cole because he was disappointed with the WWE website, and then Cole had a rebuttal and pretty much did a shoot on Vince?

You know, if the WWE REALLY wants to sell tickets and PPV buys, they should air Vince McMahon being TRULY humbled, shoot-style, by people he's been verbally abusing all these years. I'd buy the PPV as it aired live and every single encore. When the DVD comes out, any less than 5 copies is unacceptable.

It wasn't much of a shoot. Vince said the WWE website, at the time "sucks." and Cole's rebuttal was "Yes, it does.... compared to how AWESOME it will be! Swerve!"

Cole is the best commentator in WWE today, so this makes no sense to me really.

It's to a point where between Lawler being 100% babyface wimp and Cole being a complete tool, I can''t listen to Raw with commentary.
Regardless, I must say I believe Cole loves his job, is grateful to move up the ranks, and is trying his hardest to put over the product to the fans.

Vince Russel: "Well, you have learned, young Padawan. Strong in the swerve, you have become." Here's the actual quote, btw. "So in summary, the web site does suck, compared to where we are going to take it, but it won't suck for long. Wish I could say the same for the boss."
