#1 Michael Cole
For all my pet peeves and annoyances (valid and invalid) regarding the WWE, the most concrete gripe and longest-standing grudge is the voice of Michael Cole in my ears
It is a fact that the longer Cole has been boring us to tears with his passionless droll, the more listening fans have dropped the show completely.
It is a fact that the more Cole is spoon-fed lines from the back about the next big star, the quicker they have been met with go-away hatred from fans.
It is a fact that a huge, huge portion of the watching audience who grew up and fell in love with wrestling listening to Gorilla, Heenan, Schiavone and J.R, now watch the WWE without sound because they cannot stand Cole
Cole is treated like a Superstar by Vince McMahon, but everyone else is waiting for the day he retires. It can’t come soon enough.
