2.’I’ve got an email from the Anonymous Raw general manager’
For how overplayed this gimmick of the GM role was, it was even more annoying to have Cole say something that is quite painfully understandable. We know that there is a message from the ANONYMOUS RAW GENERAL MANAGER, just stop the spoon feeding already!
The duration of Cole getting up from his chair to walk towards the laptop was excruciating. What a waste of screen time, this gimmick.
1.’And I quote’
This was the opposite of the term ‘cherry on top’.
To add insult to injury, Cole after that elongated response to the GM’s ringtone would walk to the podium to read a piece of paper, which everybody could see. He wasn’t reading an email, he was reading a piece of paper. An ‘And I quote’ from Cole just meant ‘Kill Me Now’ from the audience.
