Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Cole has drastically improved. I admit he wasn't the best in 99, but he has been really good as of late. Tazz is one of the worst commentators of all time. Yet, I don't hear anyone bitching about him. I can't believe you like Tazz more because he knows the names of a few moves. The thing with Cole is, if you already know the names of the moves, then why should you care if Cole misscalls them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Cole doesnt mix up? every time someone does a headscissors that prick calls it a hurricanrana. JR has had at least 2 serious ilnesses. Yes he is past it, but was awesome once. Cole is the pits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Superstar Report post Posted August 4, 2002 I've said it before and I'll say it again: I know the names of moves. So I would rather hear "WHAT A SHOT!" instead of "OMG!! SHINING WIZARD AXE KICK INTO A SPACE FLYING TIGER MIRACLE ECSTACY SWANTON PEOPLES VIAGRA TWISTING SKY PRESS BOMB ELBOW DRIVER!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the stupidest defence for Cole, ever... what if your watching wrestling for the first time, when Cole is on? you will think every move is called "WOW" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted August 4, 2002 I know the names of the moves too, but the announcer's job is to make the casual fans aware of these different moves and put them over as such. If you can't name it, you can't claim that it is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 The difference between a headscissors and a hurricarana is something marks don't care about. You don't hear them saying "OH MY GOD THE LEGS WERE TIGHTER AROUND THE HEAD AND HE SPUN HIM! THAT'S NOT A HURRICARANA!!!" now do you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted August 4, 2002 So you're saying it's possible for Cole to not know the moves, yet still be able to call a match well? How can you call something when you don't even know what it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 The simple fact is they are two different moves, but Cole dont have a clue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 The fact is that in WWE they don't spend that much time calling the midcard matches, which are where some of the more spectacular moves are. So if he's commentating an important match with the more basic WWE stlye, then he is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 so we have all established that Michael Cole as no idea how to call a wrestling match, without the word "WOW". good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Yes but you know the move is spectacular if he says "Wow" it obviously makes the move sound better if he is impressed by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooseCannon Report post Posted August 4, 2002 7.Im sure he is homosexual, yet he claims to be a happily married man "Just like Liza Minelli's husband" -- courtesy of Incandenza in the "mission to 1000" thread. Michael Cole does seem awfully gay, and not the good kind of gay either, like lesbian porn and Michael Stipe. The fact that the Cole World Order now exists on this board, has me quite frightened and quite concerned about the future of the smartmarks. If there ever was an idea that needs to be nipped in the bud, this is it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Unless the wwe has suddenly started catering only to the blind, the fans can see the move for themselves and don't need the "Wow" to tell them if it's spectacular. Granted it can add another dimension to a big move, but it should be used sparingly, not 16 times a match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted August 4, 2002 was Cole the 1st to use the term Anti-American? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Cole rarely ever uses "Wow" when an important match is going on. Obviously, he has to do what he is told and shill Steph's interview segments and stuff, so he can't always be truly focused on the match, and how many of you actually know the name's of the cruiser moves? It's a harder job than it seems. Could you imagine JR calling a cruiser match? He can't even get people's names right! Once he called Rikishi "Takishi".

Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Yes but you know the move is spectacular if he says "Wow" it obviously makes the move sound better if he is impressed by it. You talk more Shit than Cole it would be even more impressive if Cole said "WOW, that was a spectacular (Insert Move Name)!" but he doesnt know them. Even the senile JR we have now is better than Cole will ever be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 No, JR is worse, he pretends to know the name of the move"variation of the suplex." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 not really, as Variation of a suplex is often correct when JR uses it. sure beats the hell out of "WOW" 117 times a match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 The worst thing about JR is, when he states facts, they usually come out wrong, it comes off as unproffesional for a man who's always talking about his 20 years+ in wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 JR has had two bad illnesses, he is losing it a bit. But, thats not the point of the thread. Cole doesn't know how to call a wrestling match, which is much worse for someone in his position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 What matches are you talking about specifically? Cole usually turns in a perfect performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 What matches are you talking about specifically? Cole usually turns in a perfect performance. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA! if perfect is a match which consits of a 100 "WOW"s 13 "What A Shot"s and a 134 "HEINOUS" somethings then maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 He rarely says that all in one match. He spaces things out well across the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 17th reason to hate Michael Cole: "Billy Gunn is maybe the best tag team wrestle-er ever" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Technically he is. In mark's terms, He's a tag wrestler, and has won more WWE Tag championships than anyone else. Wouldn't that make him the best? In other sports it's the people who win the most that are the best, specifically championships, and wrestling is aimed at marks.

Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 hasn't Booker T had more tag title reigns than Rockabilly? Cole never says the "best WWE Tag wrestler ever" does he. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 They were WCW tag reigns though, Vince pretends WCW never existed, and Booker is now a singles wrestler, so why would he need that to put him over? They aren't even on the same show anymore! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BionicRedneck Report post Posted August 4, 2002 so basically your answer was balls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LexLugerRules Report post Posted August 4, 2002 Hmm how many Tag Team titles regins did Gunn have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ruthless Aggressor Report post Posted August 4, 2002 A shitload. That's mostly because between all of his failed singles pushes, he was shunted off to the tag ranks. Now, we can only hope he's there with Chucky forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
