10 WWE Employees Humiliated On The Air

10. Michael Cole

Let's begin with the most recent example.

This wasn't even Vince McMahon's doing. Probably. Instead, it was Triple H who decided to spend almost a full two hours taking the Michael out of...well, Michael Cole. Throughout the 13 March SmackDown, Trips had a wonderful time telling Cole he was dreadful at his job, ridiculed his stage makeup and told him he sucked.

According to 'The Game', nobody who watches WWE programming thinks Mikey does a bang up job as lead play-by-play man. Of course, most of Triple H's jibes were tongue-in-cheek, and Cole did giggle along with the gags, but his misfortune almost became overkill by hour two.

Even Mojo Rawley got to rough Cole up and act like he was back in an NFL locker room hazing some poor rookie. Has Michael Cole progressed through the WWE system enough to become the next Jim Ross? More on that later.
