"What a maneuver" x 25,000 times = I hate Cole forever.
I've never disliked an announcer more than when he was reading the "anonymous GM" e-mails.
They should have kept Joey Styles.

Just imagine the stuff he has seen and put up with. One of the dudes I'd love to hear a shoot interview from.

cant stand him, never liked him he says the cringiest crap Most of that is Vince in his ear, “Say Big Dog or Boss Time pal!” Cole is a fine announcer, however I’ve learned mostly I just hate the way Vince wants wrestling booked and presented, and too many people don’t want to hate on Vince for it.

I don't get it why people are quick to blame writers when the system which VKM oversees is the problem. Anything that's bad is his fault & anything that's good is his fault

Cole was great in the attitude era tbh.

I prefer Jim Ross but had no problem with the team of Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker.

Heel Cole marking out for The Miz every week was the best.

he’s really terrible and always has been. anyone that finds him good, I simply do not trust the opinion of one bit. he’s that bad. Exactly.. He's always been sh#t.

I always enjoyed Cole and Tazz.

I always felt that Cole primarily got hate simply because he was basically replacing JR.
He’s good, but I do have some gripes with his style. I think it mainly comes down to the direction he’s given and the partners he’s had. When he has a good partner and is allowed more freedom, he’s at his best. One thing I hate is when they’re showing a replay and he says something like “Now I want you to look at this!”

I mean I don’t watch anymore so hard to say what he’s like now. If I have watched a live show outside PPV in recent years, I have opted to mute the tv as I find them all insufferable on commentary now.
My god, 2oo8-2o1o Cole was something else, still remember the ‘vintage’ thread that one fateful Monday night, I do wonder if he was doing it completely intentionally, it was absurd. I never had much feeling of him replacing JR - I took that more as a change of era and therefore change of presentation but they have never replaced JR or rather the feeling you got hearing his voice, the same way you could say they’ve never replaced the era that went with him.

He won me over with his early days alongside Taz, although how much of that was Taz I can't truly say.
I will say that, when I get a chance to watch, I prefer him to most of the people they have on there. Some of their announce teams make me want to reach through the screen and slap them silly.

I'm surprised he wasn't fired for accidentally revealing the WM 15 title change. Talent and looks wise he should have had the longevity Craig DeGeorge, Sean Mooney and Todd had-just a few years but from what I've heard he actually is a wrestling fan, unlike the others and he is a loyal company man so I'm glad he's had a long career. I'm sure after 20+ years of loyalty he'll be released at some point.

Some people probably subconsciously hate him because of the way he was brought in (JR gets Bell’s Palsy, he’s brought in as the replacement, JR comes back as a heel, everyone still backs JR), which was no fault of his own.
Others probably remember the terrible heel run from 11-12…and it was rotten.
Or the anonymous Raw GM…’and I quote’ I don’t have a problem with him, but he’s been at the center of some of the worst ideas and worst executions in WWE history.
