“Being a puppet for Vince,” WWE veteran reveals confronting Vince McMahon after he said INAPPROPRIATE things to him while working in WWE

Michael Cole has undoubtedly become one of the greatest commentary personalities in WWE. However, he didn’t get much love in his earlier days compared to now. A part of it was because the former chairman, Vince McMahon influenced him, which ultimately affected his commentary.

While having a conversation with Bryan Curtis of The Ringer, Michael Cole opened up about working with Vince McMahon. The veteran stated that McMahon said things to him that would be deemed inappropriate. Cole admitted that Vince respected the fact that he could call him out when he was wrong on his face.

The 57-year-old veteran also mentioned that many fans didn’t accept him and believed he was merely a puppet for Vince. However, since Vince resigned from the position of chairman in 2022, his son-in-law, Triple H, has taken over. It’s safe to say that Cole has more freedom now and is enjoying his work more. The WWE Universe slowly came to recognize his worth, and now they consider him a legend.

Cole is currently working as a Raw commentator, and his partnership with Pat McAfee is widely acclaimed by fans. Their hilarious banter at the commentary table never fails to entertain the WWE Universe. Recently, the veteran signed a new contract with the company and will remain the main voice for the foreseeable future.
