Something really bugged me tonight. Yes, the card was mediocre and the endings were not the best, but it wasn’t that. It was Michael Cole’s character. There are numerous things Cole does to draw heat. “Vintage.” “And I quote.” “Wow, Look at Vicky tonight.” The list goes on. The problem is those are tolerable as they serve their purpose. His heel persona shines. What bugged me today was after Cena got fired, Michael Cole said he loves Cena and will miss him.
I understand Cena’s the poster boy of WWE. I understand you might not want someone constantly talking down on the face of the company. Michael Cole though is supposed to be the heel announcer. He roots for every heel besides Cena and sometimes Orton. It’s an obvious fault in his character. How can he cheer for the likes of Miz and Dolph Ziggler and then root for Cena later in the night?
Cole doesn’t have to trash Cena as intensely as he does with other superstars. He could simply be neutral on Cena fights and call it as he sees it. Cole’s persona would be more balanced. Cole plays the heel well, so he needs to stay in character all the time. With a few small changes Cole could take his gimmick to the next level and really get over with the fans.
