I was just as pissed as Cole was. Hart Dynasty winning the US title was pointless. Wait, it pissed you off? Really? REALLY? Are you twelve?

In a weird bizarro world sort of way, I kinda agree with Michael Cole. And that's coming from me, a guy who LOVES Bret Hart. I just kept saying, "What are you doing, Bret? You can't wrestle. You can't represent that title, and nothing good can come of it." If you think he won it in the most unspectacular manner, just wait until he has to lose it. They'll have to lull him to sleep to pin him, because they certainly can't hit him.
Even so, I just want to punch Michael Cole. The thing is, Michael Cole doesn't even try to make it sound like he believes what he's saying. He's clearly repeating what he's told to say on camera. He has no personality. He can't improvise the way the classic heel commentators could.
Bobby Heenan and Jim Cornette, he ain't.
And how long has Cole been doing this? God, he's terrible.

I couldnt give a damn, I just tune Cole and King out. It's Grisham and Striker or bust with WWE commentary IMO. Cole started brilliantly with his Daniel Bryan crusade, but then just ran out of material and sounded like he got left at the altar because his girl ran off with Danielson. He ripped on him for not drinking soda. Gimme a break.
The sooner he goes, the better. I cant think of one great moment in WWE that his commentary lasts in my mind. His best moment on commentary to me was when HBK kicked HHH in the face in the 3-way against Cena at Survivor Series, and Striker stole that from him.

I can never get enough of that Michael Cole meltdown, I'm surprised there wasn't any backlash from him verbally destroying a WWE fan.

I stopped listening as soon as he said "Christian finally hit that move in the corner".
By the time the Miz/Hart match happened I had was pretty much deaf to the commentary. It was nice.

I'm surprised Cole's most iconically horrible moment tonight (IMO) hasn't been brought up yet, starting circa 0:55:
"He will not quit, he will not quit, he will not quit. He said it three times."
Seriously, what? Is it even possible to conceive an explanation for that monumentally stupid turn of phrase other than Cole reading apathetically off cue cards of the promos/segments he's supposed to recap word for word?

After Cole got finished listing his achievements, was anyone else praying for that fan to say he was in the army?

I think it would be hilarious if someone could re-dub a Cole-called match so Cole calls every single move a "scoop slam."

If all was right with the world, Cole would've been vehemently defending it to Lawler, as opposed to vice versa.
Kinda sad that nowadays Lawler seems to solely exist to get the Divas' names confused, and pretends that he loves every guest host, while Cole just sounds like a shilling robot.
Man, even JR on his worst day would be entirely preferable.

I cant think of one great moment in WWE that his commentary lasts in my mind. Mankind's first WWF title win. Oddly enough, Ive never seen it. The sad thing is, I can pin a personal favourite moment to a commentator, except Cole (I havent heard enough of Grisham and Matthews to say they have or havent), this includes the TNA guys. Striker: His reaction to HBK kicking HHH out the ring in their title match with Cena. He just marks out. Tazz: HOLY S*** when the ring collapses with Show/Brock. Dont even remember COle's words. JR: MILKOMANIA IS RUNNING WILD!! THE BILLION DOLLAR PRINCESS HAS BECOME A DAIRY QUEEN!!!! NOW HE'S BREAKING OUT THE HEAVY STUFF!! IT'S HOMOGENISED!! Plus SO MANY others, Benoits title win. Austin tearing a hole through the Alliance, Rock/Austin 3, HBK winning the Chamber. Tenay: "It all concludes with Raven, the blood flowing down his face into his eyes, but nontheless hanging the championship belt high above the ring" (Also one of my favourite TNA matches, King of the Mountain 2005) West: "HE JUST PERFORMED A VASECTOMY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING" I laughed at how ridiculous it seemed, a commentator saying that, its from the same match.

^ Tazz absolutely MADE that moment. It would have been amazing without him, but his absolutely freaking the hell out and that "HOLY SHIT!" were perfect.
