I put that on Cole more than Booker. Just because a guy used to wrestle or was decent on the mic doesn't mean that he'll fit seamlessly into the role of a commentator.

Instead of torpedoing Booker, Cole as the senior-most announcer should find a way to work around it or quickly transition to another topic. If he did that, it would mask some of Booker's imperfections in commentary before he improved.

Same deal with King and Striker where Striker would ask him a question about a move or wrestling "x" type of wrestler and King would give some kind of half ass response that belittled the question or made Striker seem dumb for asking it.
