These Cole interviews they did for a few years were great. It helped further storylines, it gave these wrestlers time to improve on camera, it helped if someone couldn't cut a promo, they'd just throw one of these interviews on and it did it's job. Man, I miss these. There were some great moments in these.

These interviews are a significantly better use of Michael Cole than his commentary, that's for sure.

I remember during the Bryan angle I think it was, Triple H was doing these almost every week and getting angrier and angrier.
I'm pretty sure every single one of these made me like the talent he interviewed more afterwards. Cole was f***ing FIRE in these things.

They should have one of these on RAW each week.

The three Kevin Owens ones from his various feuds are especially tremendous.

Almost every week we had a thread saying "why aren't these aired weekly on the tv shows" because they were a highlight and actually built characters up. WWE deeply confuses me. Cole hit a homerun on each and every one of these.

Nothing wrong with Michael Cole, just like there's nothing wrong with most of the RAW roster. They just suck because they're on RAW.

Yet *another* reminder that most people on the roster have something positive to offer the product, but the head honcho calling the shots lost the plot years ago.

Now that I'm used to sexy homeless buff Ambrose, scruffy beanie hat Ambrose looks like he's barely old enough to drink.

Yeah, those were amazing. I have three favorites in particular:
1.) New Day. It was the first time that I ever became a fan of the New Day gimmick.
2.) Corporate Kane. It was like a week after he had joined the authority and he was filling in for Triple H who was supposedly on vacation. Kane declined to answer any questions and just glare menacingly. It put the Corporate Kane character over more than anything that they ever did on television.
3.) Rusev. He was talking about facing Kalisto for the United States title and how the League of Nations had just been a colossal failure, but he had fun. It was a "boys night out" but now he was back with Lana.

The Proper usage of Michael Cole.
Which, of course, is why they don't do them anymore. Can't use anybody in a way that plays to their strength.

I just watch the Nigel special on the network, and Cole and Mauro could get best supporting actor Oscars for how the helped tell the story with Nigel.

Good lord, is that Dean interview from 20 years ago? That's a much more well-rested man.

The JB interview with Matt Riddle is kind of in the same vein of these.

Yeah, in the era of three hour RAW's, there really should be at least one of these a week. Not quickly trotted out and shuffled off either. I mean put in a prime spot and treated as a big deal. They can go a long way to furthering feuds and storylines, developing characters and having wrestlers featured on the show without necessarily making them wrestle every week which in turn makes the weeks they do wrestle all the more special.
