Michael Cole finally joins Team D.Bryan

[Just Jay]

Its taken what seems like an eternity, but he is FINALLY drinking the Daniel Bryan Kool Aid! I love how he's been swept up by D.Bryan's constant winning and now views him as a graceful champion.

I've been waiting for this moment forever!

[That Mickie Fan]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[B'Cup x]

I'd rather, even though D-Bry is now heel, that Cole continued to crap on him and acted completly righteous for always knowing that bryan was a bad apple x

[Deleted]

They've done it so well that I didn't even notice. I love that Cole slowly but surely came to agree with Bryan. I also love that Miz and Cole have both tried to buddy up with Bryan lately, and how he's kind of shooed them away, though not with righteous face-like anger. Bryan's heel turn = awesome all around.

[Banjo Is Broken]

I figured this culminated with an incident where Bryan kept Cole tied up and had that Al Leong guy force feed him broccoli and spinach until Cole finally cracked and started liking Bryan.

[Allison Reynolds]

NOOOO!

I much prefered Cole always hating Bryan even though they were both heels. It was brilliant continuity and different from heels <3 other heels.

[Ryanar]

I love it even more that booker t hasnt completely turned his back on bryan like lawler. Booker says "You gotta do what you gotta do" or "MAN! WHEN YOU GOTTA FINE THING LIKE AJ! SHE'LL MAKE YOU WANNA DO ANYTHING!"

Agreed. Heels don't always have to team up and respect each other all the time. In fact, it's more interesting to have heels each other, but in this day and age, it usually means that one of the heels becomes a face.

[Soultastic]

Sorry. I personaly won't be happy till he leaves the commentary table.

Put him on an authority figure role or whatever. Just get him out of there.

[zeez]

Well at least it'll make things slightly easier to keep track of.

yeah i agree with this. i've always found it funny when semi-feuding faces are put in a tag team against a random heel team that each face had some history with. what's the first thing you always hear "how will face #1 and face #2 co-exist in this match?" yet never "will heel #1 and heel #2 who also have next to no reason to work together get along".

heels apparently get along with each other much better than the faces do with each other, because 9 times out of 10 it will be the face team that turns their backs on each other while the dastardly heels get along just fine thanks. the 10th time is leading to a heel/face turn though.

[Hawk Hart]

I think it's an instance of Cole being a hypocritical sack of douche more than heels love heels. That being said.

Yet he's completely turned on his babyface girlfriend with his "In-house Rat" and "He's her meal ticket" comments.

This. I like when commentators don't automatically switch allegiances after heel/face turns by wrestlers.

Hasn't it been established by now that Booker T the commentator is a complete idiot, rambling about things that don't make any sense or have nothing to do with the match or competitors. And that's not even covering the fact that he always seems to flip flop on who he likes and hates, a fact that Michael Cole has called him out on on numerous occasions.

Yeah I did think that was crazy, especially the in house rat comment, that's pretty harsh. Although honestly she does pretty much come off that way. Atleast with Elizabeth and Savage, Elizabeth was his manager and seemed to be in an abusive relationship with Savage. Elizabeth also didn't seem infatuated with Savage. People definitely don't feel bad for AJ, especially with the fan reactions when Randy Orton looked like he was going to attack her.

The AJ and Bryan relationship is kinda a abusive relationship because of the way that Bryan is treating her. He's not verbally or physically abusing her, but he is putting her in harms way just so he could come out ahead. He is basically toying with AJ's emotions and using her feelings towards him to manipulate her. And he is getting alot of heat for his actions and AJ is getting alot of sympathy. Watching Smackdown via twitter to see people's reactions and you see alot of people blowing a gasket over how Bryan is using her and putting her in harm's way and how AJ should wake up and dump him, etc.


The thing with Booker's comments are that they made no sense whatsoever in the context of the story. He called her a rat for how she was getting involved in Bryan's matches. When in fact it has been pretty clear that Bryan has been bringing the action in AJ's direction, such as on Raw when he faked an injury and called AJ over to him which brought her into the path of CM Punk or when Bryan wrestled Big show and he ran in AJ's direction. The meal ticket comments also made zero sense since AJ has been in love with Daniel Bryan since before he was World Champion. Heck, she was smitten with the guy back when he was losing matches every week on Smackdown.


If anything his comments just made him look like a blithering idiot who's making illogical ranting and ramblings.
