There are some people that can do it. Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had a great dynamic with Shawn being the cocky prick that woke up the sleeping giant. Bryan is great and one of my favorites, don't get me wrong. But there are also guys that just do moves, indy-style, and they kind of just pretend that they are believable fighters.
Cole could be a great chicken-shit. His cowardly self-preservation tactics are great. With a bad-ass that knows what they're doing, he could be great. I just don't buy him as a bad-ass. I want to see him as the underhanded slimeball. The idea of him, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong coming down to the ring to have an "epic clash" with the likes of Roman Reigns is just too bush league for me these days.
