Michael Cole has really come into his own over the past year on WWE programming.
While Cole has been a part of WWE since 1997, he hasn't really been appreciated by the WWE Universe until Vince McMahon stepped away from the headset. Cole was allowed to shine on his own as a character behind the broadcast booth on SmackDown.
In recent months, some of Cole's witty banter against people like Dominik Mysterio has been a highlight of WWE programming. But what Cole has done as of late goes beyond words, as his physical excitement has been captured on television multiple times.
The latest came last week on SmackDown when the L.W.O. attacked Dominik Mysterio in a big brawl during the show. While the attack was short-lived before Damian Priest got involved, the look of joy on Michael Cole's face as he jumped up and down, encouraging the beatdown, was something to behold.

"I will retweet and follow every person that shows video or photographic evidence of @MichaelCole getting what he deserves. *Top with upwards arrow above emoji* *banknote with dollar sign emoji*," Top Dolla said in a tweet.
