All accounts are that the Survivor Series numbers and last night's ratings were somewhere between "disappointing" and "disastrous." While I personally wouldn't put much of that on Punk or Bryan, I have a feeling that the WWE will.
And I thought Cole was even more annoying than usual last night. There's a difference between being a heel commentator and being a guy who just completely shits all over the talent that you're trying to get over and the fans who are watching. Not to get all "Back in my day..." here again but someone in the WWE needs to be force-fed a huge diet of Ventura, Cornette, and Heenan and learn that it's actually possible to make fun of babyfaces AND get them over at the same time.
A heel announcer shouldn't make me want to mute the TV or change the channel.
Or just replace Michael Cole with William Regal, who's actually good on commentary as his stint as commentator of NXT proved. Not sure what chemistry Regal would have with Lawler but he'd be infinetly superior to Cole I'm sure.
Well, they certainly could get rid of Lawler too for that matter. Regal with Josh Mathews would be tolerable at this rate.
