Is it really Michael Cole's fault?

Michael Cole might go a little, just a little too far with it, but he is not the reason for viewer decline. Heel announcers have been putting down the talent for as long as I can remember. Lawler did it and so did Heenan, but I didn't hear them go as far as to insult people because of a legitimate illness they had (if they did, I didn't hear it because I either didn't pay attention or wasn't there to hear it). Nevertheless, the populace isn't basing this on the commentators as much as people here are giving them credit for. It is because, like I've said many MANY times before, of a lack of a rival federation that matches up with them.
