WWE legend declared Michael Cole as the greatest of all time

WWE Hall of Famer JBL recently deemed Michael Cole as the greatest commentator of all time. On Something to Wrestle, Bradshaw mentioned the names of Jim Ross and Gordon Solie along with Cole as the top three play-by-play commentators in pro wrestling history.

"Michael to me is the GOAT [greatest of all time], and there's not a debate. Michael is the greatest of all time, period, and that's no offense at all to our good friend JR and Gordon Solie, who I did not know. JR was legendary. We're talking about great or greater. We're not talking about great and one that's not good. I put Michael Cole and Gordon Solie and Jim Ross as the top three play-by-play guys of all time. I give Michael the nod."

Cole continues to entertain viewers as the play-by-play commentator on RAW on Netflix every week alongside Pat McAfee.
