I recently realized that there's pretty much no chance Cole won't end up in the WWE Hall of Fame.
I don't really have an opinion either way, and kind of like Cole, but I just thought it was interesting that people don't think about it...

There's pretty much no chance that anyone in WWE right now won't be in the hall of fame.

Will the Hall of Fame be inducted in the Hall of Fame someday?

I can't tell you how many times I've watched an old Austin or Rock clip and think "Oh yeah, Michael Cole was there for this". He will make the HOF for sure.

remember when he was teaming with Tazz on Smackdown, and he was actually good? Yeah. Long time ago.

Cole's been a top commentator since 98 or so, on and off. He belongs in.

I actually think as a commentator he's gotten an undue amount of hate over the years; though when they amped up the heel tendencies to just ludicrous levels last year, then he was just insufferable. Not in a heel way, just in an, I"m turning the channel way.
He's back to tolerable now.

He and King are just boring together. He and Tazz actually had good banter. And they called matches like they mattered - check out, for example, the Benoit/Angle match from RR'03. The urgency... that's what wrestling needs.

Unless he kills someone (which I hope he doesn't) or has a fallout with WWE which he refuses to mend, yep, he's HOF bound.
I've been watching old WWF stuff recently and it's funny how they've wanted him to succeed for so long. I wonder what it is about some people that they just keep going until it finally works, while others (who are much better quality and well liked) they are desperate to get rid of. Quite surprising that it took over a decade for them to turn him heel. I remember reading Smackdown spoilers and it always used to note that before the show started Tazz or JBL would come out to cheers, Michael Cole to boos.
Other than last years abomination, he's not particularly a bad commentator...he's just no good either. Personally I find him unbelievable; in that I don't believe a word he is saying. JR was the commentator I grew up on and he could sell snow to eskimos; every word he said sounded like it came from him alone, and I believed those were his real emotions. Cole sounds like he's reading from a script.

I agree he's not a bad commentator. I really liked the Cole/Tazz team and the one with JBL was probably the last truly great announce team. Even that season of NXT where he just took the piss with Josh Matthews, he was genuinely witty.
He's just always sucked with Lawler though. Back in 99 when Lawler still cared, those two sucked together. In 2012, they still suck. No idea why WWE still push them as their premier announce team.
Back on topic, I'd have no problem with him going into the Hall of Fame.

For what the WWE Hall of Fame actually is, he 100% belongs.
If we want to argue about "Hall of Fame" worthy from a baseball perspective, then no. He's not that good. Then again, Koko B Ware, Greg Valentine, and 40% of everyone else in there would get thrown out by that same measure.

You know what, Cole gets alot of hate, but I like him. That is I like him as a heel. I think he plays it perfectly. He's the ultimate annoying worm that you WANT to see get his comeuppance. Maybe some parts of the gimmick get overplayed or even wrongly played, but at the end of the day, he's a great part of the show.
