Thats why I like him. He knows it's all shtick. I don't watch WWE for serious wrestling. I watch it to be entertained.

I have to back track a little on my original post. I watched a full episode of NXT for the first time in hopes of a Laycool double nip slip. Cole's interaction with Striker and Mathews was pretty entertaining. Dare I say... I enjoyed it.

But for some reason I still hate him on Raw. The commentary on NXT wasn't the same as his commentary on Raw. It still feels forced on Mondays whereas with NXT him, Mathews, and Striker have a good flow. Does anyone else feel that way?

I'm of two minds here. I've supported Michael Cole in the past. With Tazz, they completely shat all over the team of Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler. The same goes with when he was with JBL. Cole & King suck, but I do enjoy Cole's new heel traits. Sometimes they get annoying or whatever, but the guy was even more annoying as a guy sucking faces' dicks. I truthfully believe his commentary helped the backlash against Rey Mysterio. The guy can't be an underdog when he is the fucking World Heavyweight Champion, Cole.

Cole & Josh Mathews are so refreshing together on NXT. To be honest, I'd like that team to work RAW together. They won't do it, because King could not say a word for the entire RAW broadcast and keep his job. I do feel that he is past it, though, although when he's playing off heel Cole he is somewhat entertaining.

Todd Grisham is actually a good commentator, and Mathews is even better. Byron Saxton is also down in FCW. He can fill Mathews' spot on NXT if they ever do a switch. I wouldn't release Cole, but I'd support him being removed from commentary if they were going to have him play another on-air role.

Grisham makes me yawn, Mathews is money. If Cole has to stay, I'd like to see more of the three man booth with Cole, Mathews, and Striker.

I like Michael Cole's whiny prick heel role he's going for now but he really needs to go all the way with it. Right now he really just hates certain faces like Daniel Bryan, Ron Killings, & Kaval and likes certain heels, mostly The Miz. But he really just just go full out heel and trash talk Cena, Orton, Taker, Triple H.

I really like Grisham. He can be quite witty at times, and he doesn't take himself too seriously. But at the same time, it's not that forced self-deprecation that Michael Cole does ("no one texts me, no one calls me"). Plus he manages to hang in there and actually land some good one-liners on Striker sometimes. I liked it how Striker asked him what MVP & JTG should do on Superstars, and their banter went like this:

The Grish: Really? You're asking me about strategy?

Striker: *laughs* Why not?

Then Grisham gives his answer about how we've seen how aggressive Hawkins & Archer can be without really giving his thoughts on strategy, and then without being prompted.

The Grish: What? You're the master of the non-answer, so don't you put anything on me.

He's also become quite acquainted with his wrestling history. He's not a color commentator, so it doesn't come out that much, and he might even be fed the lines, but he'll correctly bring up stuff from months back. I don't think he's as good as Josh Mathews, but when it comes to strict play-by-play, I like him better than Michael Cole.

Michael Cole & Josh Mathews on RAW, Todd Grisham & Matt Striker on SmackDown! with Michael Cole & Byron Saxton handling NXT. I wouldn't mind seeing that arrangement. Also, when William Regal's in-ring days are done, I would not mind seeing him join Michael Cole in the RAW booth, either.
