Michael Cole on How Well He Can Run a Wrestling Show, Jim Ross Being the Best for Emotion

July 21, 2021 | Posted by Jeffrey Harris

– During Pat McAfee’s podcast this week, WWE broadcaster Michael Cole discussed his work as a wrestling announcer. Below is an excerpt from Michael Cole (via Fightful):

“Any time I can get some positive press, I like it. At the end of the day, I’ve busted my ass for 25 years in this business and nobody can ever take that away from me. I may not be the greatest of all time, I will truly say that when it comes to emotion, Jim Ross is the greatest ever in this business. I think I’m the greatest ever when it comes to running a show, running traffic. No matter what you think of me, that’s your opinion and the beauty of wrestling. You can love people, you can hate people, but you can never take away the fact that I’ve worked at this for 25 years and have literally missed two television shows in 25 years. To me, that’s a badge of honor. It’s a grind, but I love what I do.”
