Michael Cole's Announcing
Can he please get future endeavored soon? Him trying to play the heel role is laughable. He doesn't actually get heat like Heenan or King he just comes off as a whiny bitch. It's not consistent either. I'd rather see Matt Striker in that spot.

Michael Cole is a hack. He stole "Vintage" from Joey Styles. I watched like 3 ecw shows from the old days and Joey said "Vintage Sandman","Vintage RVD" etc. He's a hack and sucks donkey's. The new age Tony Schiavone(Shi-a-vone, like Y2J said).

Seriously people, Michael Cole is doing the best work of his career lately. Everyone complained about the lack of a heel/face announcer duo since King/JR became BFFs in 2003.

Cena's good when he's not blowing smoke up his own ass and actually trying to get other people over. This however is not all that often.

Cole isn't bad... he's hilarious when he's ripping on Daniel Bryan tho.

The announcing today is the blandest, most uninspired it has ever been. Even back in the mid 90s when Vince was experimenting like crazy trying to find somebody other than Lawler to fill Bobby Heenan's shoes (with the likes of Stan Lane, Bruce Pritchard, Johnny Polo, Ted DiBiase, Ray Rougeau, Dok Hendrix and even Shawn Michaels for a while) it was still better than today.

Lawler is capable of so much more, as he proved for many years. One of the best talkers in the history of the business has been completely castrated and stripped of any semblance of personality by Vinnie Mac and Kevin Dunn.

Top notch commentary can make a poor match entertaining, a good match great and a great match unbelievable. Look at the Royal Rumble 1992 as an example of how commentary should be done. Gorilla Monsoon and especially Bobby Heenan knocked the ball out of the park.

When a midcard match is underway on a PPV and the triumvirate of Lawler, Striker and Cole are engaged in mumbled, casual conversation and forcing laughter at in-jokes rather than putting the product and performers over, you have serious problems. WWE seems to think that having an antagonist announcer is 'old hat'... well, I would be far more interested in watching WWE programming if somebody with even half the personality of a Jesse Ventura, Bobby Heenan, Roddy Piper, Randy Savage, JBL, Paul Heyman, Terry Funk, Curt Hennig, Jim Cornette or even Polo - who I always liked - were holding court on the mic, keeping the play-by-play announcer in line and actually putting over the action in the ring.

He's improved a bit since being moved to RAW as the #1 announce team of the WWE. When he first replaced JR, he was very bland and Lawler didn't help him at all.

He is still a bit boring but at least his "heel" commentary on NXT and recently on RAW is different than the usual dull RAW announcing. It also wouldn't matter if Cole improved if Lawler never improves or at least adapts to Cole's style since right now neither of them fit each others announcing style.

Its kind of dumbfounding that someone would actually say at this point lets get rid of Michael Cole....k lets do that....what does that leave you with depth roster wise for announcing:

You have:

Todd Grisham
Josh Matthews
Matt Striker

Striker is color commentator so he can't be the play by play guy, so that leaves you with Matthew and Grisham, both of which are so green as the lead man its not even funny. Lawler is barely being held together and takes all his ques from Cole, so honestly, Cole is about the best thing going for WWE Announcers right now.

There really is no suitable replacement and JR can't do the demanding schedule at his age and with his health condition.

So learn to accept it at the minimum. There are things that Cole does like the Oh My and Vintage quotes are very toolish. But the serious dimeanor as the Anonymous GM's Email puppet is hilarious and his heelish antics bashing Indy guys that come into the company are great and the way he's riding Miz's jock like a pony is only helping to plug and solidify Miz as a solid main event.

Cole is doing more to contribute to selling the wrestlers to the fans than either Grisham and Matthews could do combined. Both of them need to get future endeavored. I'd rather have Coachman or Adamle back.

This is the most watchable Cole has been since JBL stopped ripping on him. And this is the first time Cole's actually been interesting on his own. Plus he's actually done a pretty nice job balancing the play by play with his criticisms.

Factually not, Styles does only the WWE.com After the Bell stuff because he's the Executive Producer and Content Controller for WWE.com. He's been very verbal in past interviews with Bill Apter, Dan Masters, and other internet journalists that he has no desire to go back to the announcing position and that he would not be willing to accept a role on screen again as a Play by Play announcer.

King is worse than Cole and has been for the last year or so. He doesn't seem to know half of the roster's names or moves. Cole may use a bunch of stock phrases and will never be remembered for being able to really build your excitement during a match, but he can at least be bothered to put guys over.

He did a 1wrestling.com interview with Bill Apter, which he stated that he's happy with his current position as Media Director for WWE.com. Little known fact that some people may or may not have known, Joey Styles was the creator and webmaster of ecwwrestling.com when the company was active. Styles wrote, directed, and maintained all front pages and sections of the original ECW website, so this is nothing new to Styles to be working in this fashion.
