They need to quickly morph Cole into a face announcer and get a heel in there with him immediately.

Lots of fan love for Cole right now, so it would make sense to take advantage of that. If Heyman weren't busy with a potentially great stoyline, I'd suggest him...

Are you talking about Punk because I haven't really dug him on commentary the last couple of times he did it.

JBL wasn't bad. Wish Heenan was holding on by a thread. It definately needs to be a) someone that already has a ton of heat and can string more than 4 words together or 2.) someone with announcing experience.

Nobody is really coming to mind right now...

Yeah I mean Punk.

I'm thinking of him when he was on Superstars and NXT with Scott Speedman or whoever that guy is.

JBL would be the only heel announcer I could think of. Miz wasn't awful, but he's active.

I think so. Not sure if he would be a good heel.

I like him on those round table things, though...

He did a lot of color commentary in the mid-'90s. Too screamy, even by wrestling standards where everyone is yelling all the damn time. You don't notice till you stop watching for a few years.

I stopped watching, so how did Michael Cole turn into a heel, other than by just being annoying, which he's been doing since he got there? I know Lawler went from heel to tweener to face just by being around forever and becoming a beloved institution. I never liked him, though, and thought it was pretty neat when Paul Heyman took over Raw commentary in 2001.

Probably screaming into a webcam about the time Vince Russo vetoed a hokey-ass rasslin' gimmick in 1997 and ruined his life.

Running ROH.

Or some might say Ruining ROH.

Chas, Matt Striker is boring on commentary. No one cares about him.

I'd say bring in Nigel McGuiness, but he also suffers from too screamy syndrome.

_________________

Actually, that's probably what he's doing right now. This minute. I also remember the Dok Hendrix commentary days. No thank you. Plus, whenever someone gets a reaction, we'd have to drink each time he says "reminds me of the Boys and Birds".

I would really like to see JBL come back to work with Cole. Traditional booth. What's really going to happen? Booker is going to be fired as GM, and will end up on RAW commentary.

_________________

Unlike this RAW, I would actually know when the color guy had a grabber. I FF'd through the entire tag match, so I didn't know what was happening. If Scott Steiner was on color, I would watch every second of every show.

Why is it hard to find a funny asshole to be the heel announcer?

Lawler at one point was a pretty good heel announcer.

Ventura: Nobody wants to hear from you Cole!! They want to hear from "The Body" so pipe down. You're right about one thing, we're in Boston. The only town that loves me more than Boston is Minnesota. You know they made me Governor Cole.
Vince: (Get him to stop dammit)
Cole: T
Ventura: Of course you know that Cole. I was the greatest Governor of all-time. I should be President, but there was a big conspiracy
McMahon: (Dammit stop talking. Cena and Tout. F**king stop it.)
