When he started his WWE career he mostly worked as a backstage interviewer and from 1999 he started doing play to play commentary for the newly started WWE SmackDown alongside wrestling legend Jim Ross. He earned high praise from the world of professional wrestling for his work as a commentator.

After WWE started their first brand split in 2002, Cole kept on working on SmackDown and he did a tremendous job. During the PG Era, he got directly involved in a story line when he turned heel for the first time in his career. This move was not very much loved by the WWE fans but he did an excellent job.

Cole actually managed to gain a lot of heat as a heel and he was one of the best villainous characters during the time. His babyface turn also considered as one of the most dramatic moments in wrestling history. He is considered as one of the best commentators in professional wrestling history and he is a true legend.

Wade Barrett who is also the winner of the WWE King of the Ring tournament of 2015 recently spoke to Daily Star where he talked about lifelong WWE announcer Michael Cole and shared massive praise for him. He said;

“It’s as permanent as you can ever be in a role in WWE! Historically, things have always been switched around and teams have been moved from here to there, and I’m not saying I’m going to be in the SmackDown hot seat for the next ten years or anything like that. But in terms of the foreseeable, it’s going to be me and (Michael) Cole going forward.

“Pat McAfee is always going to be a friend of WWE. He’s an incredibly talented guy and we’re all fans of his too, but he has a lot on his plate. I am sure he’ll come in and out from time to time and be involved in various roles but, as far as I’m aware, he’s not going to be sat in the SmackDown hot seat for now at least.”
