That's definatly true. He used to annoy the hell out of me whenever he spoke, but now I have no problem with him. He goes alittle over the top now and then but usually does a good job. Unfortunatly he needs a good colour man to work with, and I question whether he'll get it in Coach Don't mean to sound like an arse here but...cheers for spoiling Smackdown if that is indeed the case. Ur not serious are you??? You are mad because he spoiled the new freaking announcer?

The reason Michael Cole still has a job is because Heidenreich runs the payroll department.

He stated his opinion on Michael Cole. This is not about whether or not he could do any better, he just stated that he thinks he is a horrible commentator. By your logic we can never say anything negative about anyone famous ever because they're not here to defend themselves. So he can and I can't? Sure sounds that way. You can't what?

Cole is trying to keep some sort of face announcer/heel colour commentator dynamic, and we're bitching... JR and King had been performing verbal fellatio to Cena during his 2 years long reign of terror, and we were bitching... So, what do they have to do exactly? Monsoon/Heenan, Vince/Ventura and any other combination of them, were keeping it VERY kayfabed, and the result was hilarious. Cole may not be at the their level, but I'd rather have clear roles than the "hooray for everybody" attitude WWE had been pushing for a while. Agreed 100%

I wouldn't mind Cole if he wasn't so defensive all the time. When people correct him, he sounds pissed off, and we have all heard the "smurfhead" comments before. Can't he just understand he's the doofus who loves all the faces?

I don't know. He sucks. I find him so damn annoying. At first he didn't bother me as much as he does now. I guess after playing SD! vs Raw 2008 for so many hours, I start wanting him to shut the hell up with his squeaky-clean commentary. "Not this way!" Ah, shoot me now.

Well it would have been nice to tune in and go 'AHH! It's Coach, that's....funny' instead of already knowing and havng the surprise wiped away. That's all I'm saying.

Why does Lillian have a job? Why does Ashley have a job? See, thats the money statement right there. Anytime you think someone is terrible at their specific job, just compare them to Lillian Garcia. The fact that she is still employed is enough to keep me up at night. She is nowhere near hot enough to get away with all of her screw ups.

Actually, instead of saying, "why does Micheal Cole have a job?" the question should be, "Who could replace Micheal Cole?" You are not allowed to answer with Joey Styles.

Well golly gee, Michael Cole is certainly the VERY FIRST commentator I've ever heard of who is overly nice about the faces, overly mean about the heals and has a weakness for hyperbole. As we know, JR and Joey Styles call it right down the middle. Give me a break, people. I'm no Cole mark, but I like the guy a reasonable amount. I'll take him over Grisham or Matthews or - whisper it - Kevin Kelly any day of the damn weak. Like it or lump it, he is the least of a vast pantheon of evils. gotta disagree on Matthews, I loved him on Velocity

not a single person in this thread could announce wrestling on a national television show better than he can.

That's his job. Yeah, he might be OTT, but that's just what he's been instructed to do.

bu tin answer to your question, i think he does a pretty good job behind the scenes, and is a good company man. he may suck cock as an announcer, but he's a ahrd working and decent guy everywhere else.

I don't dislike Cole - yeah he says "Oh My!" a lot, but he's nowhere near as horrible as everybody makes out. Also, I too thought Josh Matthews was awesome on Velocity.

He's not that bad to me, not the greatest but does a good job and I appreciate it as it's not as easy as one would think to do a two hour show each week.
