Kevin Kelly: You Could Just Feel The Weight Of The World Off Michael Cole's Shoulders The Last Couple Of Years

Kevin Kelly discusses Michael Cole.

Michael Cole is a longtime veteran of the WWE announce booth, going all the way back to the 90's. However, in recent years, Cole has received even more praise from fans after the removal of Vince McMahon from WWE's operations, as Cole has had more freedom in his announcing.

While speaking to Rewind, Recap, Relive in a recent interview, Kelly spoke about Michael Cole's announcing and shared what it was like working with Cole early in his career.

"Again, what a long and storied career, and he started one year after me. We got to riding together and realized we had a lot in common. We started to get along. Because there was like a competitiveness between us. But it just came to be that we got along and his... personality is different than mine. He's real, like he's very intense and very focused. He also has, I wish he could print his notes because he has the smallest handwriting. Like he writes like in, I don't know, two point font and I don't know how he reads it. But again, he's, he's able to do his job. He's on top of his game right now. You could just feel the weight of the world off of his shoulders the last couple of years. He's free to be the announcer that he has trained to become for all these years. And he's getting his flowers, and they're well-deserved."
