I actually rather like Cole. I think he and JBL have great chemistry. Cole is better as an announcer than he was a few years ago. And I think JBL is a big reason for that

Cole's not great by any means, but I don't think he's THAT bad. As for the TNA guys, I like Mike Tenay a lot. Lately Tenay's been doing a lot more "storytelling" though, which I think is TNA management shining through telling him to do that.
I think Cole is better than Lawler. At least Cole calls the matches. All Lawler does is three key things: 1. Sing the praises of the guy in the match he likes 2. Condemn the guy in the match he doesn't like 3. Make sexist remarks to everyone involved who has a vagina

He's crap, but him and JBL have GREAT chemistry. Cole is exactly what brings out JBL's greatness. That being said, JR/JBL would be the best combo ever, JR's not afraid to fight back.

"Tony Schiavone in the last few years of WCW (early/mid 80's Tony was fine), David Crockett, Mark Madden are all names that make me tolerant of Mister Skull."
True story about Tony is that in all the times he praised every night of Nitro like it was the greatest near the very end he finally said something on air that was like "When Nitro used to be good." Took him long enough.

Yeah i don't think he's a horrible commentator, but it's annoying when he does this. Whenever Chavo goes up for the frogsplash he always says something like "Well this is just disrespectful here". Yeah, we get that your the face and he's the heel, but it's dumb.

I've always felt like Tony has been dumped on a little too much. Tony circa 98-00 (admittedly he was better in the late 80's early 90's) is better than JR currently IMO

Michael Cole, to me personally, is just a Uber-Mark commentator who drools over every single face that comes out of the woodwork and what they do and just doesn't like the heels.
Yeah, even that incident of him called Chavo's Use of the 3 amigos "Disrespectful" had me saying What The.....?
Aside from all that, JBL and Cole are probably the best commentating team this side of J.R. and King from 1997-1998. It's obvious that JBL has to carry Cole just to make him entertaining, but they are miles better than BAH GAWD KANG! and PUPPIES!!! WOOO HOOO!!! Truly, makes me wonder why the current commentators aren't even trying to make a crappy match somewhat decent to look at. I guess it's the nature of the beast.

Michael Cole is worse then any other commentator ever Oh please, that's just not true. Look, I am a Cole mark. However, I know he's not that great. I love the guy, and would have bumseks with him, but he isn't that good. However as far as play by play guys, outside of JR, he is probably the best the WWE has got. But even if you disagree there...worst commentator ever? That's just plain not true. What about Schiavone? Madden? West? Or should I say WEST??!?!?!?!?!!

I just don't like how he mindlessly pounds certain soundbites into the ground. Like when Terkay was around and would beat up someone, Cole would call him a "big bully" ad nauseam. I'm sure this term will be used to describe a future heel hoss. And the argument that someone in the back (Vince) is telling him to say things, too true but the way that Cole spins it, he sounds like a moron. Ooh - also "How does something like that feel JBL?" Every Smackdown. Makes me wish JBL would take him in the ring and give him a little taste of the action so he won't have to ask every night. Sorry, I don't like Cole.

Remember when JBL told Cole to Shut Up? He speaks for us! Anyway, you know who would do great with JBL? Styles.

Debating whatever Cole or TNA commentary is better is like asking, "Would I rather get AIDS or cancer?" Cancer, isnt that like a duh answer? Why would you choose aids over cancer...
