the most interesting character on WWE TV at the moment?
WAIT!!! Don't click the back button yet! Hear me out.
I mean, he is a tweener sort of. He is practically Miz's coach and partner in crime yet tries to maintain civility while doing commentary. He is a borderline heel and could possibly turn at any time.
Yeah his commentary still sucks but as a character, I really enjoy Cole and think he has the most going on of anyone else on RAW or Smackdown.
There are so many directions his character can go, plus he gets tons of heat now, not just for sucking on commentary, but because he is an a**hole.
Is he really an a**hole with an agenda, or is he just a fan of the Miz?
I honestly think he has the most intriguing character on both brands...for now.

He's wasting time that could be used on an actual wrestler. At least make him a manager or something instead of an announcer.

If his commentary wasn't so damned inconsistent, maybe. One minute, he's proclaiming Vickie Guerrero to be a sexy cougar, the next minute, he's making fat jokes about her.

the most interesting character on WWE TV at the moment? No. I'm leaving. Alright. I'll give you one minute. Forty seconds. But his commentary is his primary job. It's like saying a cardiologist sucks at performing open heart surgery, but he's a pretty entertaining guy so it's a push. Twenty seconds. But is it really the play-by-play guy's responsibility to get the crowd to hate him? I don't remember Dick Enberg trying to antagonize NFL fans on Sunday calling Denver Broncos a bunch of nerds. Ten seconds. Both. Five seconds. Well....as much as I disagree. I respect your opinion because you are entitled to think that and if you enjoy his work, then more power to ya. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna hit the back button and go back to the Miss Tessmacher ass appreciation thread. That thread had pictures of Miss Tessmacher's ass in it. This does not. |

The answer has been provided multiple times in this thread. Hm, I wonder what else is in the topic list...

You can't compare an announcer to a cardiologist. That analogy doesn't work really. Besides, Batista is God awful in the ring but EVERYONE was singing his praises because of how entertaining he was during his heel run. So being crappy at your job but entertaining can work. As the play by play man it is not his responsibility to get people to hate him. However he isn't writing Raw so that's what he is told to do. Who knows? Maybe this means he will eventually be leaving the table and manage the Miz. Perhaps that's why this is happening. |

No and, imo, that he could be considered the most interesting character isn't so much a testament to Cole's character depth or his ability to play such a role but a sign that the majority of the roster is bland and one dimensional.

I like Cole, but his gimic only works good when there's someone else to counter balance him like Josh Matthews or CM Punk. When it's just Cole and King it's no good, because Cole ends up talking circles around Lawler.
Old School Night was probably the worst example, but then again it seemed the story was more focused on comparing Cole to JR than actually focus on the match.

He's kinda entertaining in doses. |

I think he is. If he was a full blown heel, I would put him the #2 heel behind Miz.
