Heel Michael Cole was incredibly obnoxious, and very unpopular overall, but I'd like to know your personal least favorite moments.
For me, it was May 1st 2011. At Extreme Rules Christian finally won his first World Heavyweight Championship, in a great ladder match against ADR, and the crowd along with most viewers at home were ecstatic. ADR had Brodus Clay and Ricardo Rodriguez running interference for him the entire match, but Christian had kept on going. In the final moments of the bout, Edge came out in a truck and honked his horn in order to distract ADR and give Christian an edge against him. Christian went on to climb the ladder, win the title, and share a moment with his best friend that was fifteen years in the making. Cole proceeded to nearly ruin the entire thing by constantly railing against Edge helping him out, despite Clay/Rodriguez doing much worse.
The hypocrisy in that situation pissed me off to no end, and made me really start disliking Cole.

When Cole tried to justify Eve's heel turn by saying in a serious tone that "But Eve's right, people use people all the time, she's just admitting it"
It made absolutely no sense and probably made me more mad at the sheer stupidity of the statement combined with his tone

I think he interrupted an Eve match just by shitting on it, walking in the ring, and then cutting a promo moving on to the next segment. It was just...awkward.

The entire Lawler feud. His WM match which I think is still going on right now. Pretty much everything that ever came out of his mouth.

Wrestlemania 27. There's no way an 8-man tag match should only get 2 minutes yet a Michael Cole match goes on for what felt like forever. Not to mention the match was mostly one-sided and Cole ended up winning the match. And to make matters worse, the feud didn't end until 2 PPVs later.

I think the whole rivalry with Lawler i don't mind the other incidents because they are minor really but the 2 announcers becoming a main focus of the wrestling show for about a year was irritating and on top of that the worst wrestlemania match ever

His Wrestlemania XXVII match with King. Overly long, Cole showing less physical ability than Mae Young, Lawler's victory being overturned, the feuding continuing after the fact, the fact that WWE put more time into that feud than any legitimate one built on wrestling and titles, just absolute dog shit.

Insulting Lawler's mother. Whoever wrote that line should be forced to watch a 24 hour long Khali vs Hornswoggle match

Pretty sure he did that more than once Probably so. I get that Eve, JR, and Lawler got their payback at Over the Limit that year, but it was a little too late by then. He should have just stuck as a Miz cheerleader. I do like the fact that he was on his bandwagon from NXT and got to watch him win the title. |

I will say this, Heel Cole being the biggest Miz fan in the universe was about the only thing he did that actually benefit someone. Say what you will about Miz, and I certainly did, but the fact you had one guy on the announce team almost expressing his desire to drink Mizanin's bathwater was the best thing for him. I mean, I still wish more was made of Cole being a Mizfit and having an alliance with Thwagger. Dude, could've been a decent manager but nah...let's keep him in the booth stringing together corporate phrases, nicknames, random topics and not calling moves. |

That one time he completely buried The Hart Dynasty when they were on commentary.

Christian winning the title was what I was coming here to post as well. If he wants to rip on Edge for helping that's fine. But the really great WWE announcers recognize when a special moment is happening and they shut up and let it speak for itself. The crowd was so happy to see Christian win. It was one of those loving ovations you get every now and again. And not only is Booker T proceeding to talk over the initial pop when Christian has the title, but then Cole will NOT shut up during the first part of the celebration and the hug with Edge. Those two combined to nearly ruin what was an amazing moment. That has pissed me off since then.

Other than his commentary during the Rey Mysterio/"Grotesque" Cody Rhodes match, everything about that run in 2011 sucked.

I disagree with the entire Lawler feud being bad.
But that really should have ended with Lawler kicking his ass at mania in like 2 minutes.
The fact that it wasn't and continued for 2 more months absolutely was terrible.
And even then he was still hostile towards Jerry until his heart attack.

One thing I feel compelled to mention is that Cole was giving an interview about Lawler recovering from his heart attack and he said the first thing Lawler told him when he recovered was "Sorry for killing your heat." For some reason, I found that(in the deranged WWE lifestyle kind of sense) rather touching, in a way. |

I'll play devil's advocate and say I loved pretty much every minute of heel Cole. Yes the Mania match was god awful but it made me laugh due to the sheer hilarity of Cole having an actual wrestling match.
I think it ended at the right time and he does a good job as a face but I did love the heel thing while it lasted. What can I say, I'm a Cole Miner.
