Opinion: This is one of those things that needs to be done, as like him or not, Cole is one of the most important people in WWE history. You aren’t the voice of the biggest wrestling show in the world for years on end without making an impact and while Cole has his detractors, WWE certainly seems pleased with what he has been doing. Odds are Cole is going to be around for a long time to come and there are worse options to have.
