Vince Screaming Into the Headset

By Scott Keith on 10 December 2016

Scott,


Conundrum here: if Vince screaming into the headset is the cause of the commentary being bad, then why blame the commentators? I always hear two arguments: Vince is yelling shit / Michael Cole (or whoever) really sucks.

Which is it? Or are they all to blame? Did JR at least push through Vince’s yelling? Is Cole really that bad or is it Vince’s fault?

Is the answer to all of these "yes"?

​Cole is much better and much more relaxed and funny in the situations where you get to hear him without Vince in his ear. JR was better at dealing with it because he mostly said what he wanted anyway, but he too got tired of all the yelling. But yes, ultimately most of what you see or hear on WWE TV is going to be a direct result of Vince, so good or bad it’s his fault. ​
