I liked Jerry Lawler getting behind Ted DiBiase a bit, and Cole taking the face stance. King needs to be a heel so there is that dynamic there. This stuff on NXT could be the "thing" that makes Michael Cole, though. If done right, they could do a Daniel Bryan/Michael Cole confrontation where Bryan punks out Cole, but Cole stands up for himself a bit, and in the end, Bryan ridicules Cole, but puts over his heart. I dunno -- I can picture it in my head. Cole needs some defining moments so that people see him as the special brand of announcer that JR was. Right now, he's just a guy with a headset that has been doing it for years.

Great ideas... I agree 100%...I can actually stomach the "vintage" comments when Cole is a heel...
