skipped to a random place in that video called "Michael Cole's greatest one liners" and it was "IT'S BOSS TIME!"

that says about everything you need to know about Michael Cole

Watched the Gable/Gunther match again & holy poo poo...THAT'S the kind of match you want to make a championship feel legitimate. Gunther has been awesome & the pops Gable got were insane, really hope they let him win the IC & continue keeping it the workhorse title.

All of their matches have been worth watching. I think that last five minutes from last night was incredible though. Both guys countering and almost coming away with a win, and it takes Gunther using a brutal death combination of three finishers in a row to keep Gable down.

And I love that Gunther doesn't have just one finisher, and instead of spamming something like the powerbomb, he adds something else to it.

The best match on Mania 32 was the 10-women Total Divas tie-in match because it was the only match on the card wrestled with any sort of energy. I also looked up the card and saw

Baron Corbin won by last eliminating Kane[Note 2] 20-man battle royal for the André the Giant Memorial Trophy[120] 9:41

and that it came AFTER the loving 30 minutes of Shane and Undertaker doing worked MMA grappling and oh my god, what a loving deathmarch of a card.

And Nikki Cross said the lovely superhero bullshit was her idea.

WWE wrestlers are trained to said that any bad gimmick they get was their idea, and all the good ones were given to them.

JR was feeding Cole lines at that point (JR had begun to recover from his Bell's Palsy attack, just not enough to be back on TV yet).

How many times has Nakumura busted his rear end in WWE? All I got is his NXT debut against Sami Zayn. He doesn't need to put on bangers so he doesn't it's very WWE of him.

I mean this is his retirement. He shows up, does whatever, and spends most of his time getting paid and surfing.

On the one hand, good for him, on the other hand one of the reasons I stopped watching WWE is how I'm supposed to be hyped for phenomenal wrestlers because they are successfully getting paid. Just totally losing my poo poo when someone like Owens makes his way to a lovely squash going "Wooo, go get that paycheck!"

I am having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that there are people who grew up hearing michael cole as their first announcer and being nostalgic for him

Michael Cole is so bad
cole was passable when he was commentating with taz on smackdown and mcmahon clearly wasnt yelling in his ear so he got to actually play straight man and just do generic normal commentating that bounced off of taz well
