Michael Cole

fine,

but I like Michael Cole.

I think they did it especially to accommodate Tess' schedule because Tess is doing college football.

so

But that's a whole other story, of course.

It's funny how Al Wharton used Cody's own line against him where he says, what do you want to talk about? um of course after the opener michael after the opener michael uh michael cole introduced the memorial memorial package for 9 11 never read by triple h i remember when when back in the day ww wwf um did their uh 9 11 tribute 9 11 you know episode of smackdown you know and With WWE or WWF, no matter what, for them, the show must go on.

That's always been the motto.

And Vince did not back down.

Uh-

And then when they do come on, Michael Cole or Joe Tess could be like, "Hey, this afternoon if you were on X or you were on used to, you saw what this girl or what these girls can do and what they're all about." But it goes back to kinda as we pull full circle on the show, the thought that everybody knows everything about everybody.

Yep.

And the only people that know everything about everybody are who? The hardcore fan base.

Right.

You're just Michael Cole.

That's all you are.

So then they cut to the sad Mexicans in the crowd who spent their hard-earned money just to leave disappointed.

Okay, yeah.

CM Punk was great.

Worst comment? During Ray Phoenix versus Ricky Stark, Michael Cole forgot the name of the Mexican Muscle Buster.

And he says,

[laughs]

Maybe he can beat Michael Cole.

Oh, [laughs] really?

Yeah, really.

Hey, hey, Trips.

What's going on, man? What you doing? Looking good.

Michael Cole, huh?

Um, um, that was, that was a joke.

Uh, all time.

We're talking about Mike today, Jim Ross, Michael call, uh, New era Michael Cole.

They all great in their own way.

They all bring something to the table.

And you're like, oh, I didn't know that.

Now I know that there's a history here.

And then Michael Cole sort of bridges that gap where he's informed, but he's also...

You have to learn how to navigate all the traffic these days.

I just ran down some of my bills living in London as a single bloke.

right and that's not an exaggeration what I'm paying in rent what I'm paying council tax all this all this stuff right my wages aren't going up they're really not and everything's going up cost of everything is absolutely going up but yet football stadiums are still fiddled packed to the rafters up and down the country it's mad it's just weird and so they're just trying to get as much money as we can as we know as they always do but I saw a thing did you see the last Wrestlemania I'm going somewhere with this where this guy pays something like a quarter of a million dollars to sit on the commentary table with Michael Cole and Corey Graves I think it was to just sit there he had his own headset but no microphone and he paid or he paid a ridiculous amount of money

six figures I've seen that yeah yeah he was just sitting there yeah

sitting the dog out next to David Moyes
