There are times listening to these two that i feel they're genuinely pissed off with each other. Im sure they are good friends and professionals when doing their job but i cant help but think they get on each others nerves at times when commentating. Has anyone else picked up on this since JBL returning to the commentary booth with Cole?
I cant pick out specific examples of the top of my head but watching Survivor Series 2012 here with R-Truth against Cesaro has brought this up. Ive heard them many times before but ive decided to only now make a thread about it.
Or maybe they've "worked" me lol.

I still generally like JBL... but I hate him yelling those things too.. also, its kind of just embarrassing. To be honest I think it's also time for King to go. I love him and he's been one of the greatest for a long time, but he just sounds out of place to me now. |

Their bickering at the Royal Rumble after CM Punk retained the WWE Championship was excellent.
"THE SHIELD! THE SHIELD! THE SHIELD! AND THEY JUST TRIPLE-POWERBOMBED ROCK THROUGH THE TABLE!!!"
"Chioda, Chioda, it was The Shield! Chioda, it was The Shield!"
"Shut up, you stooge!"
"I think The Shield did something to the referee!"
"We were three feet away from The Shield when they triple-powerbombed Rock through the table!!!"
"This is highway robbery."
"HE SURVIVED AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE DAMN SHIELD!!!"
But I guess they just know how to annoy each other. It helps their relationship.

I love how JBL is the heel, yet he is the only one that tells the truth.

Cole is fine, JBL and King make me never want to watch wrestling. Especially JBL, he's annoying.

I love JBL, especially when he uses logic and it makes Cole look stupid.
Like when Sandow won MITB, cole was really against him turning on his partner but JBL just said like "it all against all, should he want to win and be world Champion soon or be good buddies with Cody and let him win"
Cole is just terrible and I like when JBL shows him up.

Because JBL's a heel, he has to use logic in an argument. And think about it from a storyline standpoint. Sandow said that the better man shall win. He was all about being an upstanding, enlightened gentleman. Then he takes the easy way out by costing his best friend and partner the briefcase. I would've seen the justification more if Sandow met Rhodes on the other side of the ladder, rather than just win cheap. |

JBL has not been as good this time around as he was in 07 on SD. He is still better than mostly every other commentator though.

They seem like legit good friends irl. But they play off each other well. Do you all not remember back in the day when JR and king would always bicker? King would always mess with JR and Ross would always seem legit PISSED at King. But irl they were best buds. It was just Kings heel to JRs face. And that's what JBL and Cole try to recreate. JBL was my favorite wrestler back when he first turned on Eddie. I adored his entire WWE title reign. He was the best promo man in the biz for a WHILE. His initial run on commentary was FANTASTIC. But for some reason now he tends to splurt out cheesy and corny $hit. I absolutely despise any mention of this vulgar, idiotic "twerking" trend in general. But when a middle aged man like JBL tries to use it to sound cool. Yeah that's  ing annoying. |

The entire commentary team is excruciating to listen to right now, JBL included. They talk way too much, they plug too much crap and they never tell the story, or rather enhance the story, of what we are watching. Those 3 sit out there to advertise for WWE like used car salesmen and bicker about meaningless crap, most of which is insider or obscure pop culture references that the majority of people can't possible understand. The most exciting thing that could possibly happen between any of them is JBL actually punching Michael Cole in the face. So I hope they really don't like each other.
JBL would be better served on a 2-man commentary team with someone who will play a face and go back-and-fourth with him. Matt Striker would have been perfect but WWE has to bring JR back any time they need something done right and they've burnt that bridge to the ground. Michael Cole just sucks and King does nothing so…

I think they're just trying to one-up one another. They completely ignore the matches so they can get their digs in at one another, to amuse Emperor Vince. And Lawler just sits their and makes a corny old joke - man, he was so much better back when he was first in the WWE, it's really sad.
I don't think their is any animosity - it's just a part of their shtick. Which is horrid. Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon used to argue with one another, but it was entertaining.
