Michael Cole has been a part of WWE for over a quarter of a century, but is it time he takes his place as part of the company’s Hall of Fame?
Cole, who covered wars before joining WWE, arrived in the promotion in 1997 and has commentated on Monday Night RAW and SmackDown.
On a recent edition of the “WrestleBinge” podcast, Jerry Lawler spoke about his long-time broadcast partner and a potential induction. He said,
“I’m surprised he’s not in the Hall of Fame. But he’s great. He was terrific. I can’t tell you, they put me with a lot of different partners. First of all, JR…first, I was partners with Vince McMahon. I loved working with him. He was so good at what he did. Then from there, I went with JR, and he was just a natural, and he’s still doing it with AEW. I do [still talk to him]. Then after JR, along came Michael, and he was just a natural too.”
Lawler was inducted in 2007 by Star Trek’s William Shatner while Jim Ross was inducted by Steve Austin that same year.
Cole has also competed a handful of times for WWE and currently boasts a record of 3-9 with the company.
