Michael Cole is a capable announcer, he's just not suited for it with his current character. There's no play-by-play guy in the booth, currently. If they want Cole out there, they need to have Josh Mathews out there as well. Someone providing a more level-headed balance. Personally, I think they need to get rid of Cole out of the booth on RAW and SmackDown!, though. At least temporarily. He could be used far more efficiently as the mouthpiece for someone.

Also, since Jerry Lawler has spoken out about commentary, I would probably give him a job helping out younger talents elsewhere. Have Josh Mathews or Jim Ross handle the play-by-play duties on RAW (or have both), and give another color commentator the chance to shine on RAW. William Regal could use a bit more polish, and I personally don't like Booker T in the commentary booth. I would suggest Matt Striker, but the company doesn't trust him there, and he's not really a "name." JBL would be a perfect choice, in all honesty. He knew how to be a heel and put over basically everyone.
