Michael Cole doesn't get enough credit. There, it's been said. As WWE's lead anchor, Cole often has to concentrate more on saying the right things and towing the party line than actually calling a match. He broke that tradition on Sunday during Ricochet vs. Samoa Joe.

Cole put Rico over big style by saying he's much more than a high flyer. From there, MC noted that flips and dazzling moves are a huge part of Ricochet's game, but people shouldn't think he's a one-trick pony. That was great commentary.
