The way he said, "Neville looks like a comic book hero" on RAW. Just ugh.
There's no likable announcer. Even the face announcers are annoying dorks.

There's nothing wrong with saying he looks like a comic hero.

He's the dorky, middle-aged dad of the WWE.

Michael Cole sucks. By far the worst announcer of the lot - and yes, I am including King, JBL, and lost in the forest Byron to this list.

There was a very brief window where Cole was entertaining. It was during NXT 3 the diva one. That show was so abysmal and he shit on it exactly the right amount to make you laugh, while also shutting up enough so you could watch to make sure you agreed with him
Also the greatest NXT call:
THEOCTOPUSTHEOCTOPUSTHEOCTOPUSTHEOCTOPUSTHEOCTOPUSTHEOCTOPUSTHEOCTOPUSTHEOCTOPUS
TAPOUTTAPOUTTAPOUTTAPOUTTAPOUT GO TO SLEEP DO WHAT YOU DO!
AJ WINS!
Then they moved that Cole character over to RAW and he started talking over everyone and it became shitty immediately.

I understand that he does his job well in the sense that he gets out all the little buzzwords and goofy taglines WWE wants but dude needs to be replaced. Even after all these years, he's still horrible at selling drama in matches most of the time. He's had a few good moments that people keep harping on as proof that he's good but the truth is he's always been a mediocre announcer at best and he's become unbearable in the past year or so with the rest of the Goof Troop at the announce booth.

I don't find him to be horrible but at the same time I don't find him to be good either.
If he were on a B show that would be fine, but you really need someone who absolutely nails it to be on your A show selling your top feuds.

USO CRAZY!
I always thought Cole was a turd, but that puts it over the top for me every time.

I dunno, I think Michael Cole could be entertaining if they just let him find a happy medium between commentating and having a personality. We don't need constant shilling, nor do we need a commentator who puts himself and his character over the actual talent. Just give us someone who calls the action and can have a conversation with another commentator sometimes.

JBL, King, and Byron are worse than Cole is but trying to to pick the best of that team is like trying to pick what pile of puke to put in your ears. Meanwhile, Scott Stanford and William Regal are just sitting around...

Fans adore just about everybody at the booth except Cole...and yet, he's the lead announcer. I don't get that at all.

The way he overreacts to every-f***ing-thing is sooo annoying. I know it's probably an order from Vince but they really need to stop that. The way he started losing his shit when Owens came out for the US title open challenge on monday was so cringey.
It's like he's solely there to steer the fans' reaction.

But you never know. I now want a 'Things Michael Cole hasn't done' thread so we can't be libelled. Michael Cole probably never shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
