Kevin Patrick: People Should Bow Down To Michael Cole’s Storytelling Ability Through Bloodline Story
Kevin Patrick praises Michael Cole.
Michael Cole has been with the WWE for 26 years now, and in that time, he has not only gotten to work alongside numerous color commentators but has also seen and helped coach several play-by-play announcers.
While Michael Cole is still calling the action on Friday Night SmackDown, Kevin Patrick is currently calling Monday Night Raw. Speaking with Chris Van Vliet in a recent interview, Patrick explained why viewers should be “bowing down” to Michael Cole for the element of psychology he adds every week, specifically praising his work throughout The Bloodline storyline.
“If you’re not bowing down to Michael Cole right now and everything he’s done throughout the bloodline storyline over the past three-plus years, you should be because the level of storytelling and the depth of it — that’s the key here is peeling back that onion and going those extra layers. Cole is just so stupidly special at it. He is. He had Pat McAfee, a totally different personality [from] Wade Barrett. [They are] both incredible at what they do, yet Michael Cole has still managed to get the best out of everyone he sits next to,” said Patrick.
Michael Cole has stated in the past that he doesn’t want to retire until he gets a proper run alongside Pat McAfee. Read more here.
