In his latest blog entry, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross discussed working with Michael Cole and JBL at the announcers’ table during last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw and he also praised Cole one more time for his handling of the Jerry Lawler situation:
Jim Ross on JBL and Michael Cole:
“Really enjoyed working the three man announce table with JBL and Michael Cole as I felt that we started somewhat slow but really found our rhythm as the show progressed.
JBL is a polarizing personality with big talent and and an edge which adds to any WWE broadcast. A smart antagonist has and always will have a place in sports entertainment television.
Michael Cole, in the role that he is currently in, has been outstanding. Michael is a tireless worker who prepares like no one that I’ve ever worked with. He handles the required social media business, etc expertly which is something that I’d be challenged to do in today’s WWE.
I also don’t think that I would have come close to handling the King’s situation in Montreal as well as Michael.
I have no idea who WWE plans to pair with Cole in the weeks leading to Jerry Lawler’s expected return to the announce table on RAW but who ever it may be will be receiving a great opportunity for exposure and to enhance their TV persona.
JBL’s going to be a little busy over the next couple of weeks traveling to Africa and climbing Mt Kilimanjaro.
By the way, JBL is fully stocked with JR’s Original Beef Jerky for his latest adventure. 97% Fat Free and each resealable bag is 2.5 ounces of premium beef jerky taken from the eye of round. Http://www.wweshop.com.”
Jim Ross on William Regal at NXT:
“@RealKingRegal is a refreshing voice at the announce table on NXT. Regal is bright, witty, and knowledgeable. Nice set of skills for a color broadcaster to possess.”
