** Prior to that at the Wrestling/RoyalRumble, when Dominik came out with his dad's mask (adding on to that, Rey didn't show up for his entry, presumably due to The Judgment Day attacking him backstage), Cole nearly calls him "an absolute piece of [[PrecisionFStrike shit]]" before Corey Graves cuts him off.

* One infamously terrible segment of the 2002 Thanksgiving Special of ''Wrestling/WWESmackDown'' featured Al Wilson dressed up as a turkey delivering a promo, where out of ''absolutely nowhere'', [[SuddenlyShouting Michael Cole screams at the top of his lungs]] "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I95HoxVPC0 AAAAAAAAAHH! HEEEEEEELLLP!]]", [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment only for the promo to continue like nothing happened]]. Considering that during this point in time, ''[=SmackDown=]'' shows were pre-recorded to allow for edits of commentary when necessary, fans remain befuddled as to where this came from, but the most common guess is that [[AudienceSurrogate he was completely aware that the segment was a dumpster fire]] and was [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere begging for someone to save them.]]

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* Pretty much everything that happened to Cole during the 7/25/11 RAW. First, his reaction to [[Wrestling/JimRoss JR's]] [[HesBack return]]. He flips out on Triple H and jumps up on the announce table to start yelling at him and JR, looking a lot like a small child throwing a tantrum. Then Triple H puts him in a match, and since Cole doesn't have his [[FashionVictimVillain orange singlet]] with him, tells Cole that he's had some special gear picked out for him in the back. When Cole finally comes out, it's to "King of Kings"...wearing Triple H's [[UnderwearOfPower briefs]]. Cole actually cranks the hilarity UpToEleven by trying to imitate Triple H's entrance...even down to the water bottle and mist spray. Then, to round the HumiliationConga off, he gets squashed by Wrestling/ZackRyder.

* On the 8/28/2012 episode of Raw, Cole had the (Mis)fortune to do commentary alongside Wrestling/{{Kane}}, who came out to watch the Zack Ryder and David Otunga match, after Josh Matthews ran off in fear of Kane. What resulted was Cole trying to talk to Kane during the match, not getting a single word out of him, no matter what he said, such as saying that Matthews' seat was taken, asking Kane if he was into social media, giving various bits of info on Otunga, asking if Kane's anger Management classes worked for him, all while standing and not sitting next to Kane.

** Made even funnier when the fans chant "Milwaukee! Milwaukee!" at him and Cole jumps up to start chanting it with them. The crowd IMMEDIATELY stops. You know you're a CreatorsPet when you can instantly squash the crowd trolling a wrestler simply by AGREEING with them.

*** Not usually but the Titantron cut to Cole happily jumping out of his seat to lead the chant. Once everyone saw it, they shut up.
