On Sheamus: "He's been developing confidence."
DEVELOPING CONFIDENCE?! He's the freakin' WWE champion. He should be confidant already.
I just hate the way Cole talks.

so do you people sit around and listen to every single line he says every single week to just have some small thing to complain about? there's a thread about Michael Cole saying something "bad" or "wrong" every single week on this board. you're really all grasping for straws now just to hate the guy.

Well, I think the OP has a valid point here. Sheamus has pretty much been a monster even since his ECW debut. To say right now that he's "gaining confidence" is just a horrible understatement. Now, whether it was of his own volition of if Vince was the one who piped it through the headset and told him to say it, we'll probably never know.

I used to hate Cole but the comedy obsession on here with him and his catchphrases actually made me warm to him! Although a recent nit picking thing I've noticed is how he'll just say "Look at look at look at look at look at...." really fast just when something is about to happen. Everyone listen out for it and we can be unreasonably annoyed together!

That's not the weirdest thing I've heard ac commentator say about a champion.
In late '05, 8 or 9 months into his first reign, we were supposed to believe that John Cena didn't know a single submission hold.

I'm just glad he's on RAW (which, for the most part, I've stopped watching) and that he's not the voice of Smackdown! anymore. He has definitely become worse over time. Just watch the SmackDown! 10th Anniv. DVD for proof. I really took notice once Tazz left, and Cole was paired with Lawler....

Cole is excellent at his job, otherwise he wouldn't have it.

As long as Cole's working with a good heel commentator, he's fine. It's Lawler's recent lack of energy/effort that's the problem.

A lot of it for me is that there is almost no chemistry between Cole and Lawler.
He was tolerable with Tazz and fairly entertaining with JBL, although I'd probably give JBL the bulk of the credit for being so charismatic.
I think it exposes Cole's limitations when he's not working with someone whose character doesn't have an opposing view. Lawler just seems to have phoned it in ever since JR was moved to Smackdown and he hasn't been a heel commentator in a long time, which probably would have helped Cole a lot.
Maybe it's time for them to slowly turn him into a heel commentator? Since he seems to be fairly unpopular, why not run with it?

I heard this line and thought it was suitably stupid, but at the same time figured I'd just dismiss it. Plus must admit, at least Cole's kinda fun in that campy way - I just plain can't stand Lawler.

Which is why we have Sheamus being targeted every other day as a suckup who shouldn't be holding the title. Personally, I don't think he should be WWE champ at this point, but I really don't care.

HHH in general is the "There's really nothing much to complain about" subject. He's the back-up to all other back-ups. One idiotic statement I miss is "If WWE was still called WWF everything would be better". What happened to that one?
