As long as internet fans aren't indifferent to Cole, I still think he's accomplished his mission.
He's so good at it that I wish he had started out as a heel announcer. Dude's naturally weasely.

The thing is he's not a heel he just really hates Daniel Bryan. I can't blame him, Bryan comes off as an arrogant little twat to me and has since the first episode. He also hates hockey.

I dislike Bryan as a result of overhype and thus, enjoy heel Cole. I think the way Matthews plays off him as being in disbelief that this timid sycophant can have such a rabid hate for someone is just perfect and in a way, that is why I enjoy heel Cole. This babyface loving kiss ass has just taken a dislike to this guy and is pettily picking him apart for no reason & everyone hates him for it making him the perfect heel.

I think it's funny. Some people takes themselves and the IWC a little too seriously. QFT. At first I thought it was funny that cole had the bryan portion of the IWC up in arms, But now they still can't take he talks down about one their favorite wrestler. How dare someone say something bad about an IWC darling. He is just doing his job.

Maybe Cole's just mad that he has to work more, because of this internet punk Daniel Bryan needing a whole show to himself to build him up as some high school gym wrasslin' god?

I laughed so hard when Cole said Bryan had been reading a "veejan" cookbook, and then tried to pass it off as the British pronunciation.
It was partially the bad pronunciation, and partially my vision of Cole stalking Bryan on Twitter.

How dare someone say something bad about an IWC darling. He is just doing his job. He isn't just insulting AmDrag. He's insulting us. He's insulting & disrespecting every Indy wrestler ever. Michael Cole, normally a face, is going out of his way to insult & discredit a promising wrestler and his fans. He attacks internet fans and criticizes the way we enjoy wrestling. His job is to insult fans to the point of them ceasing to watch the show? That is very counterproductive. He needs to take it down a notch before he alienates viewers NXT can't afford to lose.

THIS, arn't heel commentators usually unbaised with there dislikes, they dislike faces therefore they are heels. I'm thrilled to see a non over happy cole but not at the expense of singling out 1 wrestler no matter who it is.

I love Cole on NXT. As a casual fan I can appreciate him because I don't know who this Bryanson guy is, and his trunks are ugly, and he is from Aberdeen, which just sounds like a dumb place to be billed from. Also, Cole is right, I looked it up and the Bryan guy did indeed wrestle in front of like 60 people inside of high school gyms for his profession. It would be like an 8th Grade Basketball player being compared to an NBA starter if you compared him to any of the WWE regulars.

Disrespecting every indy wrestler ever? Really, Ever? Have any of the other rookies been indy wrestlers, If so is he disrespecting them? Internet fans have criticized Cole 10x as bad as cole is doing to internet fans. Its fair game.

As per Wikipedia's page on Sharon, CT, under notable residents... "Michael Cole (born Michael Shawn Coulthard), announcer on WWE Raw and former journalist with CBS Radio. Born in Sharon on December 8, 1966..." HA! Everyone knows that's bull . Sharon doesn't exist. And even if it did, that's why Rip Torn got plastered and broke into a bank... he knows his hometown shares a border with Michael Cole's. (Ya know, if it existed.)

All the NXT rookies save for Otunga and Sheffield have Indy experience. Sheffield was in development for years, though.

Regardless of where you're wrestling, the risks are just as high. Cole makes the Indy scene seem like a joke. It deserves more respect than what Cole is giving it. The "minor leagues" have just as many risks & talented wrestlers as the "big leagues" and it doesn't deserve to be written off as basically nothing, as Michael Cole would have you believe. In front of 50 or 50,000, great wrestling is great wrestling. Quality talent is quality talent. Talent doesn't wax or wane depending on the crowd size. Guys that earn 50 bucks a match deserve just as much respect as guys that make $500,000, if not more. After all, they put their bodies on the line just like the big stars, but they do it for a helluva lot less.
That's what bugs me about Cole. If he truly loved pro wrestling, he wouldn't crap on the Indy scene like he has been. I'm going to get offended by a guy I believe doesn't love wrestling as much as I do telling me my opinion doesn't mean s*** & I'm wrong for being in the IWC. He can f*** off.
