Was watching Royal Rumble 2006 last night, and Michael Cole said one of the most bafflingly, weirdly pointless things I've ever heard.
'Carlito claims 2006 is going to be a great year.'
What the f*** does that even mean? Thanks for that opinion Carlito. It tells us absolutely nothing about everything.
We have a thread about favourite calls, what about your least favourite calls? Commentary these days in general is pretty terrible across the board, so it's hard to pick out individual terrible moments. It was marginally better in 2006, so that above call really stood out for me as aggressively terrible.

Well, Cole's heel run caused me to turn off the TV and play GTA San Andreas instead, so pick your poison.

One of the problems is that Micheal Cole's worst moments are some of the most funny unintentionally and therefore my favorite calls. Example: "With all due respect, Anal Bleeding."
I will probably have to say my least favorite call of his would have been when Lesnar returned. If I remember right, he gave one of those supercheesy "Oh MY!" that he loves. If that's all you had for Brock Lesnar, shut your mouth and let the moment speak for itself.

"I was talkin' to _____ in the back and they said 'Listen. I'm not out there to make friends'" or whatever inane thing Cole says he heard backstage where every wrestler talks the exact same way.
I remember during the brand split when someone new would go from Raw to Smackdown Cole would act so confused as to who they were.

Whoever made that "Welcome to the Big Leagues, kid!" comment when Hideo got eliminated in the AtG. Way to put over NXT as the place to be for rising stars!!!

Not a call, per se, but Lawler on Booker T at WrestleMania 19. Yeah, I think he was still supposed to be a "heel" announcer, but he buried Booker the whole time. Which made it even MORE galling when Trips won.

Molly beats Trish at King of the Ring 2002. She holds up the title and...
Lawler: "It WAS survival of the fattest!"
Eat a dick, Lawler. I wish Molly kicked him in the junk after that.
Then there was that time Vickie did a top rope splash/pseudo Frog Splash to honor her deceased husband, and they called it the "Hog Splash."
This company. Stand up for WWE, WWE Universe!
Also, any time JBL compares Daniel Bryan to a goat/gnome/whatever.

Which made it even MORE galling when Trips won. I actually thought that was hilarious, just for JR's reaction who seemed to get legit pissed off. As for my own least favourite, back in 2006/7 whenever Chavo would do the Three Amigos as a tribute to Eddie, Michael Cole tried to play it off as disrespecting Eddie. It made no f***ing sense, especially when he'd praise Rey Mysterio for doing it. And this is despite the crowd cheering Chavo whenever he did it. |

Lawler's fanboying over John Cena can get especially grating. Actually, just about whenever he's towing the party line, he's pretty damn bad.
Renee Young's "women, amirite" commentary style was pretty bad.
I know JBL was aggressively bad last month during the trashed car episode, completely ignoring the match at hand. I remember that one so well for Titus O'Neil putting him in his place and literally doing his job for him.

Which made it even MORE galling when Trips won. "Booker T should have known he'd never amount to anything when he was born on a pool table!" Combine commentary like that with Triple H's "you people" promo, then consider that Booker T lost clean. Yeah... |
