I think Cole gets way too much hate.
But the 'worst night of Bret's life' comment and his utterly flat reaction when Bret attacked Vince for the first time two weeks back were really, really crummy.

Jeez! The only thing Cole is guilty of is overexaggerating. It's not like he was mocking Owen's death. Calm down everybody. Exactly. As I said, even commentators and reporters who have far more talent and pedigree than Cole ever had will resorted to hyperbole. And it's not like Hart's day (in kayfabe) wasn't really horrible. I guarantee you, if I had to give up a chance to get back into a career I loved, and on the way from saying goodbye to my new friends, had my shin broken clean in a car door, I'd feel like it was the worst day in my life, and if anyone came up to me and said "you heartless ass! What about when [insert friend's name] died?! Or your grandfather!?" I'd be forced to distract from the pain of my broken leg by strangling them to death on the spot.

Wow. Why not have him knock a WWE figurine to the ground? And they'd play"Sweet dreams and flying machines" in the background. Have Cole say "where were u when Cena lost his title? I remember thinking 'is this a joke?' at first.....". Have someone come up to Vince while he's reading One Fish two fish, red fish blue fish, and whisper in his ear. No, that'd be too far. Also....is it me or are the mods becoming more animated these days? I thought they were like those Buckingham Palace guards. Or like Chief. Never say a word, never move a muscle. Thankfully, there are a good, but small, number of mods that know when to jump in and shut people up. I know that. They always know when to jump in. But these days they exhibit all kinds of emotions, other than "We are here, you have wronged." They talk, laugh, sing, dance, and become passionate over nerd things, just like the rest of us. Maybe one day we will intermarry and push our species to the eeeeextreme.

It was just Michael Cole being Michael Cole. This man has no business commentating on Raw. He should be working at Pizza Hut or something.
Even Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay are better than he is.

What happened to the threads complaining about commentators being fed lines? I seem to have noticed if JR says something stupid, that line came from backstage. But if it's Michael Cole, it's a crime punishable only by firing squad.

"Welcome to Pizza Hut, would you like to try our brand new 15 cheese pizza with cheese stuffed crust with a side of cheese and a large cheese, or would you like to try our VINTAGE! pepperoni pizza?" ;D

Michael Cole makes Tony Schiavone look like Gordan Solie

Honestly, unless the line bothers Bret, I see no reason it should bother me.

I wonder if this one line would have incited this much outrage had it been, say, Matt Striker. (or anyone not Michael Cole for that matter).
Also agree that it shouldn't offend anyone if Bret himself wasn't offended.

It doesn't offend me, it insults me. Who they do they ACTUALLY think they're talking to? A bunch of 5 year olds? Well excuse the f*** out of me, if I actually stick with them at times where they make absolutely absurd decisions like turning to PG.
