Aside from the occasional overbearing moment I don't really mind Michael Cole. Sometimes he's even legit great. Congrats to him.

When he's just being a fan like he was during the McAfee/Theory match at WM, he's decent.

Between the professional aspect and the uncertainty surrounding his friend's *life*, he will forever have my respect for keeping it together the night of Lawler's heart attack

Cole - “Eat it, f***heads! WWE just honored me with this video so I must be doing something right.”

Cole - “Eat it, f***heads! WWE just honored me with this video so I must be doing something right.” Hey, listen f***head. You can do whatever you wanna do: you can put me on mute, you can turn the goddamn channel for all I care. All I know is I've been here for 25 years, so I must be doing something right. What the f*** are you doing? What the f*** are you doing? |

But seriously, from me he gets a pass for anything on commentary because of how he handled that moment. I’m not sure many broadcasters in all of sports — not to mention wrestling — could have kept it together like he did in that situation. Happy anniversary, Michael. |

Congrats for surviving Vinnie Mac for so long Cole. I imagine Cole being a war correspondent helped with that. |

Congratulations on 25 years of mediocrity, Michael! I wouldn’t says it been 25 years of mediocrity in fairness. We have seen with someone other than vince in his ear he’s a good commentator. His stuff with taz during the heyman era Smackdown was really good and the first NXT uk tournament in blackpool there was a massive difference for the better. Hell his calls at Beast in the East was damn good... without Vince... Cole now is like when people were calling Schiavone a shitty commentator... but like even Prime Gordon Solie couldn't put over 2000 WCW as anything people would willingly watch...  Also Schiavone had a similar setup of Bischoff telling him what to say... like the "That'll put butts in the seats" line... |

Yeah with that I remember afterwards when he was by himself you could see him the background of the matches still calling the matches but his head was in his hands... trying to keep it together. |

"Mankind has achieved his dream and the dream of everyone else who's been told you can't do it."
One of the best calls in wrestling history.

The end of the video should have been Bayley calling him an idiot.
Jk congrats Cole

Congratulations on 25 years of mediocrity, Michael! The UK tournament is an example of him being really good and that wasn't with Vince heavily involved. Reminder that much of what he has to spew is what Vince screams in his ear to spew. |

If there was anyone in wrestling that could have had the nerves to handle that moment, it was Michael Cole. |

Dude gets a bad rap most of the time because of what he's being told to accomplish out there. When he's left a bit more to his own devices, he's good to great He can be unbearably corporate but he has his great moments for sure. I thought he actively added to Daniel Bryan's moment at Mania 30 in a way that JR in his prime added to moments. I thought he was great at this year's WrestleMania. |
