Just something about him as of late has been causing me to hate him. Can't put my finger on it, but he's just a bother to listen to on television. Get him off. Was also glad when Henry put him through the announcer's table. Made me smile.

Lots of people hate him.
I love the guy. That's the cool thing about opinions.
I like that he stands up for people from time to time, then gets his ass beat.

Not a fan, though he's better than Cole. Granted that isn't saying much.

This is like making a thread called 'Anyone else think Cena wins too much?'

I don't hate the guy.
He's been a terrible commentator for the last six years now and I'd be elated to hear that after the Mark Henry beatdown he's never coming back, but I don't hate him.

Not hate by any stretch, but he's definitely gotten degeneratively worse such coming back and taking over from Heyman. He's well, well fallen from how good he once was.

King sucks as a baby face commentator. He was cooler when he was rooting for the heels, but with JR back defending the faces and Cole doing the heel color commentating, King really is the odd man out.

Almost everyone here does.
I, however, adore him.

I like when he makes fun of Otunga and McGillicutty
other than I used to like him when he was a heel commentator and had personality. now he's just bland and makes stupid fat jokes.

As a wrestler, the guy is tremendous. Probably one of the most underrated "legends" ever.
As a commentator... I just loathe him. I wish he would go away.

I don't think he adds anything to commentary but have to admit he gets the crowd into any match/storyline he gets involved in.

I don't hate him.
He's a horrible commentator, absolutely horrendous but he would be likeable enough as a backstage character/personality. An interviewer, manager, a general manager etc since he can cut decent promos, is over with the crowd and (ignoring his terrible commentary) he has good character traits that would make him entertaining and even though he's old he is still okay enough in the ring for a quick match now and again.
Just get him the hell away from the announce table. He is utterly dreadful.

King with Cole= Awful for me, awful chemistry, constantly interrupting each other etc.
King with Anyone else (So far)= Quite good, him and Booker calling NoC after Cole lost his voice was actually pretty good and he occasionally slipped the little classic Lawler remark in.

As a face, yes. As a cheesy heel, no.

I'd take Cole over King any day.
Just my opinion.

Lawler is great, Michael Cole is the main (sole?) problem with WWE's commentary. When Michael's voice went out, Booker and King did a great job at NoC.

I hate whoever feeds him his lines, trying to get the WWE creative talking points over.
It really is weird seeing King put over superfaces though. It's so against his announcing character. Cena doesn't need a cheerleader color guy. Would be like Ventura and Heenan putting over Hogan.

He's gotten a little more bearable lately, except during Otunga and McGillicutty matches. I just want to smack him every time he gets to screaming about them being boring.

I don't mind him. But he's mad sophomoric. That's his schtick. Sooner or later, most fans outgrow his antics... but hatred? Nah. He's just doing his thing. Get your money, Jerry.

His voice going out was obviously not Cole's fault and Lawler mentioned that Cole lost his voice two times,when he's supposed to cover the situation.That's one of the many reasons Lawler is an idiot on commentary,decent wrestler though.
