Is Cole a full heel?

[horsemen4ever]

I thought tonight in the Smackdown main event, Cole turned off his heel character and went back into regular announcing, he put over Rey and his accomplishments, and even justified attacking De Rio's personal ring announcer. On Raw he still seems to be pro Cena.

Since I hate Rey and Cena he's still being a heel to me.

I don't see his character as pro heel, its pro WWE. He praises those that he feels are entertaining and rips those that he doesn't (he still likes Santino). He also only cares about WWE accomplishments which Rey and Cena have in abundance. He doesn't seem to care much about workrate or outside accomplishments which is probably the stance most people in the WWE have.

I don't really like him when he's heel at times but then isn't. Just go full face or full heel. Loving the Miz (top heel) and yet going OH MY GOD CENA RULES!!!! is just extremely bothersome and flaky.

He's funny as a heel so I hope, and always have hoped that since Orton RKO'd him he'd be full-on heel, but he's back to being "THE VIPER!!!" it seems. Weak.

I'm absolutely fine with Cole as a heel... as long as he's not portrayed as the head announcer. Heck, you can keep him on commentary for all I care. Make them the heel foil to Matthews or even Grisham. Heck, bring Abraham Washington up and try him as a main commentator. At this point I'll take the Swagger Soaring Eagle as the voice of WWE.

Just stop trying to have him both sell us on the shows AND put over the heels. It's entirely counter productive.

I like having commentators aren't full blown face or heels? I like characters are more gray than black or white. But that doesn't work for Cole. Striker is very suttle in his rooting interests, that he switch rooting interest and you don't notice. Cole on the other hand, he makes no secrets on he his rooting for when the Miz, Bryant, Lawler, Morrison etc. are involved.

Cole was too wishy-washy during the Dolph Ziggler-Kofi Kingston match. On one hand, he said Kofi should just give up the quest on being I-C champion, then in the next breath he hypes up Kofi's controlled frenzy and his never ending will to succeed.

Even Josh Matthews called bullocks on this. "Which is it?"

I think Cole is the anti-smark. And instead of getting underneath their skin, he gets under the average viewers skin too.

Blame HeidenRape!

Not to mention he was pro-Vickie again, despite cracking wise about her weight not even two weeks ago. He's not only a corporate parrot, he's a hypocrite, too.
