Well, you are talking about wrestling fans, here. The flaws of the established are okay because it's traditional. As a whole, the wrestling community will even make up excuses to justify the old over the new.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that King makes the other guys look bad. Gaffs are easier to see when someone's pointing them out, so when JR or King says "you're wrong," It is more visible than the new guy.

I know Cole's not really "new" per se, but there's a problem with announcers just as much as with performers, in that they've generated a tiered system that prevents anyone from really stepping up. I doubt King or Ross want to let anyone get good or become established, because that means their replacement is on the way. As long as they're the de facto best in the business, they have job security. Just like as long as Trips and Taker are the considered the de facto top names, they have a spot. Of course, Trips is bad example, because he can justify himself for other reasons, but....
