Michael Cole - On borrowed time?
« on: March 29, 2011, 07:51:25 pm »
After his obvious stupidity in calling Josh Matthews a f***ot, and his subsequent poor apology via Twitter,  is Michael Cole now announcing on borrowed time.  Will WM be an absolute slaughter before being released or do we think he'll manage to stick around.  We all know about WWE's affiliation with GLAAD etc and this obviously did nothing to help.  I'm enjoying his heel persona myself but I guess it's how Vince is gonna view this.  As stated in the text below from PWTorch he obviously can't go before WM as the match with Jerry is set in Stone with Austin in as ref. 

This Michael Cole incident on Twitter has brought to the forefront a fact that hasn't gotten a lot of play - that being that Cole's ego has gotten out of control behind the scenes in recent months. There have been reports of Cole having tremendous locker room heat. One WWE source today gives us his opinion on Cole behind the scenes.

"Is Cole getting a big head? HELL YES," he says. "Ever since he was reading the GM e-mails he started begging to become GM (he doesn't know who it's supposed to be) and walks around like his sh-- doesn't stink. He has an opinion on everything."

He also has mouthed off to writers who hand him scripts, saying that he'll say whatever the hell he wants. Sources say Cole's on-air character has gone to his head and what you see on TV is what he has become behind the scenes.


Be interesting to see how things go after this Sunday.

Stuff like this screams smark bait, I really doubt this has happened.  By all accounts I've read in the past he's a great guy and best mates with Cena.

I had the same response as you.  When I first read about this I thought he was just staying in character, because this seems so weird.  Cole actually has worked as a reporter/war correspondent.  I just don't think he is that stupid to do this stuff.  I could be wrong though.

I must say, they've actually made Cole entertaining.

I've always said though, when u resort to feuds between either commentators or referees, u know u are running out of ideas.
