Sorry, I actually love them having Cole heel it up. It was the best he's sounded in YEARS. I agree. It's been a long time since I've actually felt negatively towards an announcer. Even when Don West went heel, that just made him awesome. Cole found a way to make me hate him, and not just in a "Well, he's Michael Cole"-way... as I really want to punch him in the face. Well to be fair I've always wanted to punch Cole in the face... now I just have a great reason too.

What did cole said that has pissed almost all of this board? Did you watch any of the main event? I still can't speak english well, less hearing, actually, I never understand what the announcers team said.

Man alive, how big of a dick is Michael Cole being? I know it's his job, but I'm going to be really annoyed if the narrative for the entire brand is "these kids need to learn RESPECT and pay DUES, dammit!" I can understand if they want to say he's new to WWE, but Danielson is no rookie. And I don't even really care all that much for the guy. It's just annoying since he's been in the business longer than a lot of the guys with belts around their waist right now. I think the point is being a pro in the indies is a lot different than being a pro in WWE are two entirely different things. It's still EXTREMELY irritating. I swear, if you took a shot every time they mentioned the terms "teach them respect," "show the pros respect," "learn respect" or "get respect beaten into them," you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning before the first match ended.

No hate on Cole from me...perfect foil for Josh and Striker who put over the talent shown here...and it was great that they played it up like "seriously Daniel is that good?"

Cole as a heel announcer against the IWC is just perfect. We already hate the guy. This is just the icing on the cake.
Loved the absolute shunning that CM Punk gave Young. Rock star dude from WV is a dork. That table spot from Bryan was just plain sick. His pale complexion sells the possible injury so well, he barely has to grimace. Really good match to main event the show. Can't wait for next week, with the Skip Sheffield cowboy hat match.

I love this show. Heel Cole is awesome because he doesn't bow down to the lord and savior of the IWC CM Punk Bryan Danielson Daniel Bryan. Which reminds me,how did they handle Punk's indie background when he started? If I remember correctly, they kinda acknowledged it without outright stating it. Never really hammered it in like they have with Bryan.

The fact that Cole was so blatantly wrong about most of what he said is what makes it great. Unless the Manhattan Center and Hammerstein Ballroom only hold 50 people now, he's full of crap. He's like TV's newest flame baiting troll, and it's hilarious. So does that mean you guys have the power to ban him from here? You do that, and I will bake you a cake of epic proportions.

I never thought I'd say this... But this show may bring back my love of wrestling. Great showing from most (except you Heath Slater...you can kiss my ass )

I think what it is that bugs me is on RAW he is this dimwitted, face loving guy but, on NXT he's a heel cheering for the heels. Plus I just hate the constant IWC shots. To say Brian hasn't done anything is one thing and would good to get the point across, but, to insult the fans just turns me off.

I did think to myself that he'd fit in with some of the people on this board, heh.

Also -- Cole is freakin' great as a heel. The fact that half of the board is calling for his head for pissing them off is proof of that. EXACTLY. Its brilliant. From reading the recap and seeing what I saw, its amazing. They're TOTALLY playing up to the IWC in a show. Cole, who the internet already hates, is a heel, and a DAMN good one. Acknowledging Brians past was amazing as well. It lets the regular audience know that theres something to this guy. It plays up to the internet fans already watching. And pairing him up with The Miz is awesome on so many levels. Just awesome.

The table bump, the heel hook, the VINTAGE Lion Tamer.
Best match they've had on a Tuesday night since ECW first started.

Anyone else notice the similarities of tonights main event and ECW's first main event? The one big one (and honestly probably only comparison) is that they didn't tape enough so they had to have 1,000 commercial breaks during the show.
"Welcome back to NXT! Here's Daniel Bryan! Let's go to commercial!"

Thinking back, did anyone notice how Cole just kind of simmered throughout the show, from the little snide comment about the internet hating Cole which Michael kind of grunted off, until just finally UNLEASHING towards the end of the main event? It's like a bomb went off.

He's like TV's newest flame baiting troll, and it's hilarious. And people ate it up. He played his role and did so perfectly.
