10 Modern Wrestling Tropes We're Totally Sick Of

10. "OHHHHH MYYYYYYY!"

Michael Cole does exactly what his employers ask of him. In this regard, he is the perfect employee and should be absolved of much of the blame for his robotic commentary style. What he's doing is nothing more than what his boss wants, with his constant sloganeering, rehashed catchphrases, and formulaic shilling consequences of the restrictive framework under which every WWE main roster announce must work.

But good grief, is it hard to listen to.

"It's Boss time!" is tedious and "here comes 'The Big Dog!'" more so. Nothing, however, comes close to "ohhhh myyyyyy!", Cole's go-to line whenever someone returns.

You can set your watch by it. Really, there are times when SmackDown's play-by-play man might well be replaced by a monkey operating a soundboard, so repetitive is his approach. Again, this is the production style's fault, not Cole's, as each of his fellow announcers is afflicted by the same condition to varying degrees. When Cole steps away, a Tom Phillips or Vic Joseph will step up and become just as tedious.

At least you feel what Mauro Ranallo is saying on NXT, as eyeroll-worthy as his reference spam can be.
