I think he's hilarious. I think it's a FAN thing, he seems really well liked in most Internet wrestling circles.
Out of all the commentators of the wrestling product I watch, Cole is still without question, the most grueling to listen to.

If someone is going to be a deluded heel supporter, especially such a blatant one as Graves, they need to occasionally get comeuppance. As it stands, he just sounds like an idiot with his justifications of heel's actions, and he gets away with limited to no challenging.

I'll be real here, he comes off like a screaming tryhard that has no idea if he's a heel or a face.

I don't necessarily need to hate him to find him annoying, if you like him more power to you of course.

He just needs to tone it the f*** down.
I didn't like how he was still shitting on Coach and Saxton at WrestleMania. That's supposed to be the show when everyone tones it down with the bullshit because it's an incredible night so they're all more focused on the ring and not the petty drama. Cole was able to do that when he was supposed to hate JR, so Cory should be able to do that with Coach/Saxton.

He was pretty decent when he first started, but now he’s too busy trying to bully Saxton and Coach, working in stupid references, and just sucking in general. He’s bad, really bad.

The Graves hate makes me laugh. I still enjoy him. And Coach deserves every single bit he gets. He's fxxxing terrible.

Nope, solid Graves fan here. And if he shouts down Coach, who is appalling, and Saxton, who’s even worse, then so much the better.
Admittedly, if it was just Tom and Corey again it’d be better, but that’s more on everyone else than those two.

Its really annoying because NXT Corey was amazing, but the main roster commentary's obsession with bickering and ribbing each other during a live broadcast is grating as all hell.
Call the damn show, put guys over.

Call the damn show, put guys over. Yeah. That’s my problem with him. It’s like he’s trying too hard to keep his job and stay relevant in some way. He’s more concerned about getting himself over rather than what’s going on in the ring. He’s there the whole time. The wrestlers only get so much time out there. He’s not even that funny. He’s no Bobby Heenan or Jesse Ventura and even they knew how to make an impression, stay entertaining and put stuff over. I don’t hate the guy but that’s how I feel about it.

I don’t get how someone could hate Graves but think Mauro is good 🤷♂️ One shows genuine interest and love for the product and the other uses all his time cracking jokes and ragging on his fellow commentators. I'm not going to pretend that Mauro hasn't regressed, but I rather have a guy losing his mind over what he's watching than acting like he rather be anywhere else (but then again, who can blame the guy, Raw and SD aren't that good).

He started off sounding like he wanted people to call him "the next Jesse Ventura" SO bad, and just gets further away from that benchmark with each week of mindless yelling.

For me, it's the constant picking on Coach. Well Coach hasn't exactly been the best commentator recently so when he messes up I get why Corey gets on him for it. He’s like 2011 Michael Cole ramped up to about 100. He needs to tone it down in the worst way. Take it from the only guy alive who loved #HeelCole: nobody could ever get as bad as Cole got. Corey threw a pencil at Saxton on SDLive. Not necessary. Grow up, Corey. Eh, it was a light throw to some stupid pun or play on words Byron gave. That at least fit their usual dichotomy.

WWE commentary as a whole sucks really bad. I sometimes watch old shows just to get some good commentary.

The constant whining and and fighting with the other two generic light skinned gentlemen, take your pick, can’t tell apart, takes away from the match. It sounds like two sissy bitches having a slap fight while they play with their toy wrestlers. Just shut the hell up and call the match.

The way he goes about heeling makes it seem like the heels are cool. I know whoever in charge of putting him on RAW as an announcer wants him to be a heel, but Corey should really be a Stone Cold Steve Austin-like anti-hero on commentary. Let Byron turn heel.
The way things are now on SDLive, a lot of the times when Graves berates Byron, I'm on his side just because Byron is that annoying on commentary. So it's really hard for me as a mark to figure out what WWE is attempting to do with Corey on commentary half the time.

He went from being the next Bobby Heenan to the next JBL.

He’s over exposed being on both RAW in Smackdown
he’s taking over both shows in a bad way
I miss Graves from when he first stared and was great 😕

I don’t think he is that witty honestly. And I don’t think that is Vince in his ear, because he offen gets burned on Twitter, Enzo snatched his soul like five times, etc. That is cool, the dozens isn’t for everybody, but when your gimmick is your biting wit and you do get down like that it is a bad look.
Also, I just don’t really like a three man booth. 2 is the magic number. I get the tv shows are so long now you probably have to have three, but all my favorite matches have two man commentary booths until recent years.
