He has always been good without Vince in his ear but tonight he turned it up and was on top of his game
Even Corey sounded more comfortable taking shots at himself

Really good. His call of the main event demanding the ref count faster wrecked me, and we both said "LESNAR'S A MONSTER" at pretty much the same time. He referencing the Mexicools gave me a good laugh during the tractor spot.

Usually when the commentary makes TV they look fxxxing miserable.

After tonight, all I can say is, screw Vince for trying to micromanage this man.

Usually when the commentary makes TV they look fxxxing miserable. He felt knowledgable tonight Like he called out the refs name and even the cameraman by name after he got smoked by Roman. Then you had all his callbacks and if you were a first time listener he came across like someone who has major knowledge of the business

Him yelling at Corey to move when Lesnar started to flip the ring was great. Really sold how crazy things had gotten.

Michael Cole with a new voice in his ear:

He sounded like he was only ever 2 seconds away from saying "and that's when I realized divorce was the best thing to ever happen to me"
My boy sounded like a free man

f***ing great. At this pace, he’ll be the best commentator in the business easily. Also, I love how some of his funniest shit is kind of undersaid and takes a second. Him yelling at Corey to move when Lesnar started to flip the ring was great. Really sold how crazy things had gotten. Man sold that main event. Not that it needed it but Cole added to it. I was dying at him exasperatedly begging the refto count faster. He really sells the match and the drama of it. Main event reminded me this man was taught by JR and then conditioned and shackled by Vince. We’re getting the truest form of Cole ever and it’s great.

It felt like some of Cole's actual personality was coming through and I could see why Vince has been so big on him even though he, most likely not maliciously or intentionally, hindered Cole's output. Dude's god damned funny.

The little bit Cole had about him being ready to hit the town last night and Corey was already in bed was sweet revenge for all the shit Cole’s had to suffer through over the years.

The combination of McAfee beside him and Vince Being gone has rejuvenated him.

Corey had some good ones too with telling Corbin to not crush up McAfee too bad cause he wants to be home with his wife on Fridays and how last time he drank on the job he got sent home for a week

We knew Cole was good from the odd time when Vince wouldn't produce him. But more than that, the man just sounded genuinely happy and excited tonight.

He was quick with his comebacks like wait a min that man been waiting for this moment his whole life Like everything he did was in support of the match and get everything over while also adding life to the booth

Absolute MVP of the night. His happiness was contagious and palpable. Felt good to hear him feeling so good.

A lot of people retroactively owe Cole an apology
