More annoying heel commentator

[The Ichi]

In 2010, I HATED Michael Cole to the point of muting my tv a lot of the time, but I think JBL has somehow managed to be even more of a pain in the ass with his CONSTANT LOUD INTERRUPTING TO MAKE SOME STUPID ARGUMENT IN HIS AWFUL TEXAS ACCENT or his references to sports just for the sake of making sports references.

[Boo!]

I lik JBL, I think we're supposed to find him annoying. Like Ventura. The problem is because Lawler has been a girl all this time we forget what a heel colour analyst does.

[Error]

With JBL, I'll just roll my eyes and move on, with Cole I was actively avoiding watching stuff because of him so Cole easily wins it for me.

[Deleted]

Cole easily, he made the show unwatchable. I just turned it off most of the time.

Cole was worse in 2011 than in 2010.

JBL now does nothing for me. He just spouts out random lines and wants to enjoy himself instead of putting over the guys in the ring

[Boo!]

While I think heel Cole was inferior to heel JBL - I do think there lacks an animosity at the broadcast table. It's too jocular, perhaps. I dislike the three man combo too. Sack off Lawler and have Cole and JBL and make there some kind of animosity between them. They should argue with each other not laugh at each other's jokes.

play-by-play - face
colour analyst - heel

Age old. Heenan and Monsoon were funny but it worked because kayfabe they despised each other.

Last time there was animosity between commentators, they had a Wrestlemania match. Be careful what you wish for.

2010 Cole just because 2010 Cole literally told you the product you're watching sucks.
JBL might be annoying but I haven't heard him bury the product.

[Joshie el Gato Rey]

It takes talent to be a good heel commentator.

See: Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura, 06-07 JBL.

Never would outright bury talent or make it about themselves (although Heenan admitted he was just collecting a check in WCW).


It takes laziness and poor direction to make a bad heel commentator.

See: Michael Cole 2010-2012, Heel Don West, Mark Madden.

Cole completely turned me off of WWE in 2011 and I hated the entire year of wrestling mainly because of his horrendous commentary. He always buried the faces for the wrong reasons, and always did it with that stupid, pretentious affectation in his voice that grated my nerves like a crying child in Wal-Mart. He'd never shut up and ruined every match I tried watching that year.

Mark Madden made everything about himself in WCW and never attempted to do what a commentator should do (again, WCW).

Don West was like Cole, but its Don West so I give him a Gem Mint Tint condition pass, people, BE DIALIN'!

[Hit Girl]

Definitely Michael Cole.

Buried the product.

[fw91]

i liked them both.

[woowoowoox]

I like JBL and as I've said before, even thinking about heel Michael Cole makes me want to punch something.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

I was actually entertained by Heel Cole. The problem was when they tried to make him a primary focus of the show. Take away the Lawler feud and he really wasn't that bad.

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

I didn't have much of a problem with either, but JBL's more fun to listen to.

The only quarrel I had with Cole was that Lawler was more or less phoning it in at the time, and thus there wasn't that Gorilla Monsoon/announcer Vince type presence to stand up to him. What worked about Ventura was that he always had somebody else to call him out on his bullshit. Had he been trying to call the match while ranting about how awful Hogan was without Gorilla bothering to refute him, he would have gotten as annoying as Cole pretty quickly.

[PKO]

Cole was one of the worst things in WWE since I started watching.

[g1megatronfan]

Michael Cole.

I would love nothing more than find the idiot who inflicted that horrendous garbage on the audience and give him a good swift kick in the nuts with me wearing steel toed shoes. That man made me mute Raw a good number of weeks. Plus who can forget the feud with Lawler?...The less to be said about that the better.

Heel Michael Cole was and will forever be the absolute worst commentator in history to me.

[ayumidah]

As much as JBL has rankled me over the last year, Cole's annoyance made its way into the ring in a few matches/feuds. Although JBL yelling what's up and "OH!" for the Usos gets really painful quickly...

[Kayfabe FAN don't want none]

I'd rather shove glass in my ears instead of listening to Cole in 10-11.

[Essential1]

Cole was nails on a chalk board as a heel...he didn't have a clue. He's phony as a face aswell.

[Chip]

I can easily ignore JBL, Cole made me watch with no audio, I almost didn't even watch at all.
