Every time I see the whole Michael Cole..The King angle I want to flip the channel. This story line is just soo boring to me. I can care less who wins in these matches and the story is just stupid. Not only the storyline sucks but its taking a somewhat interesting heel in Swagger and handcuffing him to this mess.
I can see what they are trying to do in getting a company guy some camera time but usually these only work when you have a legitimate wrestler vs a company guy like ( DgenX vs Vince, Stone Cold vs Vince ) 2 broadcasters in a wrestling match.. entertaining UM no I'll pass.
It is just mind boggling to me that they put THIS MUCH into a non wrestling character. He's not being used to get heat on somebody else (Swagger is more than manager than he is) and there are tons of wrestlers that could carry the company that could benefit from the amount of screen time he gets.
Keep in mind that the guy is announcer for BOTH Raw & Smackdown (possibly NXT as well, is he still there?) and is on for the full duration of the show AND he gets ungodly long segments on Raw every week to plug whatever story he is doing. The dude gets more air time than anybody in the WWE. Why don't they get behind their wrestlers like that? You have a bunch of titles that are meaningless at the moment (IC, US, & Tag). They could sure benefit from a little build, some significance, & some care.
the angle should of ended at Mania this year and then break off Cole and Lawler from tv by either having Cole only announce Smackdown and have Matthews and Cole announce RAW or bring back JR. Now it's just overkill by having these long ass segments each week to build to a tag match with 3 announcers and one full time wrestler. WWE it's over people don't care no more
I always used to like Michael Cole, even when everyone hated him (as a face) I always liked him. Then he started becoming heel and I definitely liked it, but now it's just annoying.Burying people, not calling matches, yelling over the mic, trying to draw attention to himself. And my god! This storyline with King his horrendous! Who the fuck backstage thinks it's a good idea to have this fued go past WM into their 3rd month? It's baffling, they need to kill this fued, it's so bad.
How the fuck wasn't Wrestlemania a 7 minute blowoff thing with Cole getting sent to Smackdown and JR to RAW I will never know. Instead WM was 15 minutes that resolved nothing and now 20 minutes of RAW is building to a completely asinine JR/Lawler vs. Cole/Swagger strap match.
Maybe its old school, but isn't there right heat and wrong heat? I turn the channel or shut the stream down when I know 10 to 20 minutes of Colefuckery is about to happen. I don't hate him because he is a compelling and entertaining character. I hate him because he is a boring cunt.
Its getting to the point now where Raw is suffering, instead of having Daniel Bryan in a match - a good technical wrestler. We are subjected to a man who has serious LOOK AT ME issues shouting over everything and everyone. Its pathetic and the writers better end this quickly because this is one of the main things that is making raw unwatchable for me. Would'nt it be a better use of the WWE's time to build up a mid carder and stop subjecting us to old men - who should'nt even be wrestling anymore wasting our time.
Everytime Cole starts ranting on, or interrupting a DIVA match or whatever he does I just sigh. It's not a 'he plays a great heel' type reaction, it's a...just get off my screen type reaction. I wouldn't mind if it was a small part of RAW but it's ALL THE TIME. Cole's selling the storyline all the damn time, and it's too much. The segments themsleves take a massive amount of time and are most of the time tedious as hell. I hope this storyline ends at ER, really I do.
I know its fake but i am going to get a lot of satisfaction when i see him getting his ass kicked . I dont think Ive ever wanted to see a heel get his comeuppance as much as i have with Michael Cole
"Come on, Jack! Come on, Swagger! Hit him, Jack! Come on, Jack!
Hurt him, Swagger! Show him, Swagger! Come on, Jack!
Come on, Jack! Come on, Swagger! Hit him, Jack! Come on, Jack!
Hurt him, Swagger! Show him, Swagger! Come on, Jack!"
He's saying his name in EVERY sentence -__________-'
Cole's act has gone past the simple weasel heel plenty are legit sick of him being the centre of attention and are turning off when he opens his gob. I've watched wrestling over 20 years and Cole is even starting to drive me to mute him whenever he shows up
Once you trim the smarkiness out of these comments, it becomes entirely apparent why Michael Cole is great. He's managed to make too-cool-for-school internet wrestling fans feel actual hatred and disdain towards him. In a world where people are used to cheering "cool" heels that are "good at being bad", Michael Cole provides no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's not there to entertain you with his funny/cool bad guy act, he's there to pester you and get under your skin until you feel like sticking a razor blade in his mouth.
You aren't supposed to like heels, you are supposed to legitimately hate them. They are supposed to actually piss you off, not in a "play along with the show" kind of way. They are supposed to make you want to throw garbage at them and annoy you to tears. Cole has proven that even the smarkiest of smarks are not above getting sucked in. It's utterly beautiful.
I found this place because I was watching and getting so fed up with having to put up with Michael Cole, I needed to vent!
No kidding, I was actually looking to find somewhere to petition to get Cole off tv. I found this place instead and fell in love though.
Anyway...
The first thing I did was make a thread about HATING Michael fucking Cole. He is absolutely horrible at what he does, he's insufferable. Having seen him when he was just the little dweeb calling matches, he was... bad, but not this bad. He's horribly inconsistant in his role. There's times where he's clearly trying to be hated, then he goes overboard and it's just annoying... like "okay, you can fuck off now". Then he's just normal, call-it-as-you-see-it about half the time. Talking with King (who he's supposed to hate?) he often comes off as neutral and King has to be the one to get back to the bickering.
HE IS SO FUCKING BAD!
To see Good Ol' JR break his hand punching that *** in the yap made my day! That was by far the highlight of last night's Raw. Continually interupting the Divas matches without reaction better end with someone punting him in the groin.
He's not Bobby Heenan.
He's not Jesse Ventura.
While I get that they need someone to take over for the King since he's mellowed out, Michael Cole is not the guy for the job. They had CM Punk on commentary briefly and that was great. They NEED someone else. NEED.
"Come on, Jack! Come on, Swagger! Hit him, Jack! Come on, Jack!
Hurt him, Swagger! Show him, Swagger! Come on, Jack!
Come on, Jack! Come on, Swagger! Hit him, Jack! Come on, Jack!
Hurt him, Swagger! Show him, Swagger! Come on, Jack!"

I don't mind Coles being a dweeb that nobody likes but dont subject me to having to see him actually being the show. I don't need to see a segment of him talking in the ring.. being knighted...wrestling Lawler. Cole is not worthy of carrying a story and provides no wrestling ability worth watching.. so why must I actually SEE him?
comment on the matches and stop.. wasting 20mins of every RAW show by talking about BBQ sauce..
Cole isn't a good heel his whole act is overstepping its bounds by him needing to put himself over everything else. In 2004 Jerry Lawler had this creepy obsession with Randy Orton he was always siding with him and generally being his #1 fan, he didnt need to jump up and help Randy win matches or draw all the focus to himself. Cole's act has gone past the simple weasel heel plenty are legit sick of him being the centre of attention and are turning off when he opens his gob. I've watched wrestling over 20 years and Cole is even starting to drive me to mute him whenever he shows up and they need to tone down his act before it drives people away
Anyone else sick of thread titles that begin with "Anyone else.."? There are a bazillion wrestling fans on this site. Every possible opinion of every single character is represented on Wrestling Forum.
But yeah, in my opinion Michael Cole is ruining wrestling and he can fuck right off now. His attention whoring commentary is distracting enough but the 15 minute promos are excruciating.
On the other hand I do love it when he and Swagger do the victory lap.
Every time I see the whole Michael Cole..The King angle I want to flip the channel. This story line is just soo boring to me. I can care less who wins in these matches and the story is just stupid.

I can see what they are trying to do in getting a company guy some camera time but usually these only work when you have a legitimate wrestler vs a company guy like ( DgenX vs Vince, Stone Cold vs Vince ) 2 broadcasters in a wrestling match.. entertaining UM no I'll pass.
I want my 3 seconds of life back from reading the above and you wasting my time explaining how you would like the word "couldn't" used when you knew exactly what was implied.
Now I want my 5 seconds back for responding to your goofy post refund please !
