I agree with Xero on this. Michael Cole's character is fresh and such, but it doesn't feel like a commentator's character. If he left the booth to become a heel manager, or the GM somewhere, I could really get into him. Keep in mind that the best work he has actually done as this character has been during in-ring promos with Daniel Bryan, or the like.

I've been reading that a lot of people backstage really want Jim Ross to return to the commentary desk. If that happened, I'd do a switch with Michael Cole. Not because Cole is horrible, but because he'd be better out from behind the desk. I'd hate to see JR & King paired together again, though. How about Todd Grisham & Jerry Lawler on RAW, with King constantly ripping into Grish, which can allow King to play the heel commentator; and Jim Ross & Matt Striker on SmackDown!, which I think would be an amazing duo. Jim Ross & Josh Mathews can do Superstars, and you could also have Mathews work the booth during Superstars with King & Striker, respectively.
