Cole makes a great character. Unfortunately, that character doesn't work on commentary because he's constantly going in and out of being heel and the way the character comes across it's over-saturated. If he was consistent with it and was heel ALL THE TIME, I'd say he was a good heel commentator. Ditto if he went off to become only the GM or something.

This is true, but you may notice the only time he slips out of the character is to put over the mega-faces like Cena and Orton.
That's obviously a directive coming from WWE. Maybe they're testing the waters, or maybe they're just trying to have their cake and eat it too.
Either way, that's a Vince problem, not a Cole problem.

yea, I don't understand this. I hate it. He's good at being a dick, but when he starts doing the regular babyface announcer role, it downgrades his heel persona

This.

I never hated Michael Cole, although i'll admit to being pissed off when they switched him & JR as Raw & Smackdown commentators. I love JR, and even if his abilities had deminished in the past few years, i'd still rather listen to him then anyone else. Period.

My problem with Cole, as has been stated, is the inconsistancy with which he commentates. He is SOOO overboard with the Miz that he might as well jump in the ring and give the man a hand job, but he switches out of his heal charicter as soon as Nexus enters the ring. Its very distracting.

Another thing I hate, and this is more to do with how hes being directed, is commentators interupting promos and talking shit about the guy in the ring, which Cole does whenever Daniel Bryan is talking. How does this put anyone over?

Just my thoughts

i disagree with this. i like that his character has his own opinions and does not fall into the good guy/bad guy cookie cutter.

i cannot stand the phrase "controlled frenzy." all those word associations with certain wrestlers get stale way too quick. i do wish that would go away.

I suppose that's one way to look at it. I never thought of it that way. Probably because it's blatantly obvious that his "opinions" are that he's a heel except for when Cena is wrestling.
I'd buy it as opinions if it wasn't painfully obvious that it was a bulletpoint on his runsheet.
