As to the original thread title, I am pro Eva, less enthusiastic on Becky than most but that's been said.

I'll say this: I like Michael Cole. I think he gets shit on alot because there are certain components of his job that his superiors require him to do that isn't his fault. He has to blurt out stuff Vince tells him to and tow the company line to an extreme because one false move or show of insubordination and he's done. Ever since they dropped the heel Cole thing which was awful and brought him back to a middle of the road play by play guy, he's been solid. Getting rid of King, Booker and now JBL have been great moves and have slowly brought the commenting team away from the forefront and more into the background of the show which is where it should be.

Cole is a pro and good at his job, but because he just does as he's told to do, people hate him for it.

Cole was AMAZING on "Beast in the East". Marked difference from insanely micromanaged to just being able to do his job freely.

Cole catches a lot of heat from fans, but re-watching 2000's Smackdown on the Network, he and Taz were absolutely fantastic as a team. Extremely underrated historically.

Agreed. Hell, even his work in early 1999 while JR was out was pretty damn solid I've always thought. Especially given how green he was and who he was replacing, I've always thought Cole's work in 1999 was really solid in comparison to what he's been forced to become today.

Love the Heyman story about them bitching about him having them come in on an off day to do retakes until...
