Michael Cole likes WWE’s change of scenery.
Since Vince McMahon’s retirement and Triple H’s takeover back in July, WWE has seen a ton of changes with their television product. Notably, Michael Cole and commentary partners being able to have more freedom while calling matches, which allows him to speak about other promotions and superstars accomplishments outside of WWE. Michael Cole appeared on the Pat McAfee Show, where McAfee was asked how things have been going in the world of WWE. This is what Cole had to say.
Everything has been great. It’s been a great change of scenery the past couple of months. Things are going wonderfully. Ratings have been good, stories have been great, it’s a different world, I worked under Vince for 25 years and I knew nothing else. He’s a second dad in many ways, I grew up in the company. It was a shock when it first happened and we’ve all settled in and realized the show must go on. The show is going on and we’re doing well.

Pat McAfee was a former commentary partner of Michael Cole’s, but stepped aside to take a weekly job with ESPN’s College Gameday. Since then, Wade Barrett is Michael Cole’s new partner on SmackDown.
