    I'm really glad you mentioned Cole because man, his work in recent years ever since he's been allowed to let loose and actually call matches like, you know, a pro wrestling commentator, really shows just how much Vince McMahon cramped his style, which in turn caused him to be hated by large portions of the fans for most of his carreer for what it turns out wasn't his fault. I'm sure it must have paid well or else he would have left years ago but man, it must have been miserable at times to be puppetted by the wretched old pervert all the time.

    Just want to put something out there about Michael Cole. It's almost sad that a real-life event (that being Jerry Lawler's heart attack on-air) turned him face. While yes, a sad moment for Cole and WWE, what would've happened had Lawler not had the heart attack. Would he still be a heel today or not? Also, I absolutely love his commentary with Pat McAfee, those two are so great!

    Natalya gets too much respect, there has never been a veteran on the roster who’s done less. Not one memorable gimmick, silent reactions heel or face, forgettable title reigns. When Bret returned in 2010 im convinced part of the deal was wwe could never fire natalya or she would’ve been released over 10 years ago. Her “putting over” talent doesn’t even have an impact as beating someone who’s done nothing for around 15 years doesn’t look like an achievement
