Michael Cole sends emotional message to 37-year-old star during RAW Netflix premiere

Veteran WWE commentator Michael Cole sent a heartfelt message on X/Twitter after learning that his face was plastered on a production truck. Cole seemed quite grateful over the same and said that he was honored.

Cole has been announcing for WWE for more than 25 years at this point. He started with the promotion way back in 1997 and is still going strong.

Michael Cole recently noticed Pat McAfee's tweet showing a picture of the duo being featured on a WWE production truck. Cole sent an emotional message in response to the tweet and hinted that he wouldn't have been featured on the truck if it hadn't been for McAfee:

"28 years here and it took this dip*hit’s arrival to finally get on a truck… Seriously humbled, honored, and privileged to be a part of this company #RawOnNetflix."

Cole has done some of the best work of his illustrious career ever since Vince McMahon exited the company. It's clear as day that Cole has been given more freedom behind the announce desk than he ever got during the McMahon regime.

Michael Cole has previously spoken about working with Pat McAfee and has had nothing but good things to say about the latter. He seemed quite elated over being featured on the WWE production truck alongside the 37-year-old sports analyst.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
