10 Things WWE Has Forgotten How To Do
10. Have Announcers Strictly Call Matches
In fairness to Michael Cole, WWE's lead announcer often does a stellar job dealing with the volume of content thrown his way.
As the main anchor on Monday Night Raw, Cole doesn't simply have to deal with calling matches and putting over characters nowadays, he also has to focus on social media, sponsorship messages and other fluff.
It can't be an easy task, and legendary announcer Jim Ross has even given Cole credit for his work ethic in the past. Cole is to be commended, he's the perfect man for WWE's style, but that style is one that's difficult to stomach for some wrestling fans.
It's like WWE have forgotten how to simply have announcers, y'know, talk about the action.
There's a clear lack of emphasis on what's happening in the ring on occasion, as the commentary teams focus on other aspects of the product.
Sometimes, that takes away from the actual wrestling, a cardinal sin in the eyes of those who were brought up listening to Jim Ross or even Vince McMahon behind the desk.
