Cole has done a good job to me. He just had to fill some big iconic shoes. No disrespect to Michael, but it’s like asking a NXT rookie to come from NXT n be The Rock. JR is a once in a generation talent. U can’t wasily replace that.

Everything about this show has become generic. Generic announcing, theme music, look, promos, production. They've Randy Orton'ed the entire program

I don't think it's overlooked at all. Cole just isn't good to me and idk if that's just the way Vince wants them to be or what but he doesn't sell big moments the way he should and he oversells other shyt way too much. Yes, he's stepping into big shoes and it's an impossible task. The next guy is going to have it a lot easier because he's not replacing a legend and you never want to be the guy replacing the legend. you want to be the guy replacing that guy. But commentary as a whole in the E is awful so he's just a part of the problem, not the problem

Cole keeps hiring all these square as new reporter announcers and no character announcers. Booker is probably the last character announcer we'll have for a while.

The announcing has sucked for years, it makes Tony schiavone sound like a legendary announcer, yeah every week was the greatest night in our sport but at least he sold the fukking product. And when is the last time we had a decent heel announcer, would it fukking kill them to get a decent heel announcer. I'll give them corre graves is better than jbl but a dying cat could have been a better announcer than jbl

I was a big Booker fan but he was cringe worthy bad. So cringe worthy I couldn't stop thinking of the end of old yellar and maybe that should be Booker's fate type cringe worthy and I was a Booker fan

Exactly,.....

Michael Cole is basically the low quality impersonating parrot box of vkm's awful ass commentating.

None of the moments are sold well and the commentating is counter productive as hell.

I hate the commentary. For them to allow that weirdo sociopath sexual deviant good ole boi jbl to create an corporate admin bully campaign against Mauro was bullshyt. Now the moments that should sell the show are not sold by the last guy living who could have sold the show. Especially after vkm alienated styles to being the online content guy. Instead of the man who should have sold the product naturally after jr.


Yet vkm neutered styles with his bullshyt too. So we not never gon get no great commentary ever again.

Booker in his neutered announcing role quality wise is up there in low quality.
Where it matches Cole's horrifically awful rating all time.
Including,....the character booker has announcing is offkey and aloof.
Booker does the gimmick wrong on commentary, too.
as he should be announcing in character as king booker and having his book moments.
where he breaks character on color to change the dynamic and sell the action.
It would work because book should be calling if the WWE had any chain wrasslin sequences strictly technical with a cheerio and hiphop to ..
When it gets great king booker has a book moment.
Plus, it makes sense because you had Jerry the king Lawler and you could have had a booker becomes a heel announcer and whips Jerry's ass and removes him via squash just like the WWE likes to do amy and all past drawing greats anyway. Why this never happened in a real.high quality manner that made sense is telling as well. As this should have been a high quality write it self change of the guard. Like why is book not flanked by sharmel eating dates calling matches with mouth fuls of food switching between mouths of food and having angry book mouths of food moments when the action gets great. Or to get the announce team over.
Instead, silly ass vkm don't wanna make any stars in amy facet.
Simply because he fears that Ventura meets rock come up in all facets.

shyt is bullshyt, assinine and dumb as fukk.

WWE is.so.stoopid they could have done this when Gallagher debuted just recently for.205 live. Or they could have worked the gimmick uo on 205 live. Especially with spud coming in as well. Did they do any of that ...no ...they jagged't.


Company is fukk'n inept as hell.
