Exactly. I thought it was real because of the way he reacted.

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. Exactly. I think it's funny that anybody would think he was going "off book". I don't think he has has shown a genuine on-air emotion ever. He's a straight up robot.

God forbid WWE use a heel announcer, since Lawler doesn't even try anymore. After all heel announcers sure killed the 80s WWF dead.

The return of a heel announcer like Ventura or Heenan would really be welcomed by me. Heck, just an announcer with some real passion and enjoyment out there would be welcomed. I thought Cole was better than his usual self last night(I actualy think he's improved slightly over the last few weeks). And the part after the Bret match makes me hope for a slow burn heel turn by Cole.

I think the last good consistent announcer was JBL. I loved his work just awesome. Although I did like Striker's shilling for Punk and the SES at Extreme Rules. Hopefully Striker could just get moved to Raw as he seems to have better chemistry with Lawler than Cole does.

Id love to see a good heel announcer. Heenan and Monsoon made the WWF for me as a kid. But with a burnt out Lawler, a too-awesome-to-boo Striker, and Coles pathetic attempts, it wont happen soon.

Cole seriously should turn heel.
He is pretty much hated anyway kayfabe wise as both heels and faces mock him and they have done for over 10 years. Who knows maybe as a heel he is fantastic and the last 10 plus years of crap from him will be worth it.

Cole's best moment in the E was during Jeff Hardy's high spot in MitB 2007.
*Hardy starts to scale the ladder*
JBL: What the hell is that kid DOING?
Cole: I think he's gonna...
JBL: God damn it! Win the match, boy! You've got this in the bag!
Tazz: Jeff's got that ladder, he's...
JBL: Damn him!
Lawler: Grab the briefcase, already!
*Jeff poses at the top of the ladder*
Tazz and Joey Style: Oh God...no, no, no, no...
*Jeff Jumps*
Cole: JESUS, you gotta be kidding me!

There's the thing for me personally, he gets outshone by someone on every moment. I cant remember a moment that he owns as a defining commentary call. JBL yelling at Jeff to win the match is what instantly comes to mind.

Considering what we've seen from Cole, every time he gets a little bit touchy, it always seems to be over something Miz-related.
Could it just be that Cole's a Mizfit?

Cole and his random heel commentating was a little bit odd to me as I haven't watched wrestling in awhile. I'm just getting back into wrestling and I had not expected that.

Remember when Miz debuted in '06, even JBL wouldn't support him. But Cole would always take part in the "hoorah" chants, and constantly talk up the guy. It was weird, you couldn't tell if Miz was supposed to be face or heel.

He's terrible. Simple reason. During that Bourne match all they talked about was Buzz. He said they named Buzz Lightyear after him like seven times. He might have been excited about it because he probably just found out about it. You ever just find something out and not shut up about it?

Cole obviously can't cut loose on a PG show, he's at his best without limits like when he's aloud to call people f***heads and mocking them about not being able to find the mute switch like an asshole.

The other problem was that with Miz not doing anything really heelish except being really annoying. On top of that with Cole verbally blowing him all the time it was hard to say for certain what they wanted him to be. Part of me believes we were supposed to think Cole was just a nerd, but who knows.
