Let's beat up Cole every week!

[@smarkmouth]

This is not news to anybody, but Michael Cole just isn't very well liked by fans at large. However, I think many share the same fond-Cole memory as I do; the merciless F5 by Brock Lesnar on the night after WrestleMania. Even thinking about it, I'm belly-laughing all over again. I'm confident I don't need to post a picture or video, as the look on Cole's face as he spun into a freefall is probably burned into your brain and locked in a vault of cherished memories. I can't help but think that the most endearing quality that Cole has is getting beat down, and wonder why WWE doesn't do anything with that heat.

No, I don't want another heel-Cole run. That was disastrous. Don't turn him heel. Turn him into Kenny!

Every week, or every other week write Cole out halfway through the show. Have someone beat him up, accidentally knock him out, or catch a flying weapon to the face (T-shirt cannon?!)! Follow it up each time with JBL screaming "Maggle! No!" or something, until the expression catches on with the audience. Don't beat him up too bad, they need him on TV next week, but give him some bruises or a cast each appearance.

Admittedly, this gimmick has a shelf life, but if it's handled creatively, we could get months of Cole beatdowns before it overstays its welcome

This silly idea came from a discussion in the Disqus comments.

I loved it a few weeks ago when 'Taker was in the ring then Lesnars music hit and he cam running down and the commentary said 'Crap i'm getting outta here' and you just hear their mics drop

Never really understood why everyone dislikes Cole. I think he's the best commentator today. Although, it is funny when someone intimidates him or hits him. Another F5 or an ass-kicking by Kevin Owens wouldn't be too bad.

It could only be done a couple of times before getting old. I don't really understand the appeal.

I know, right? Good thing I had already addressed that at the end of my post.

So basically you introduced a new idea and then explained why it wasn't a good idea?

More so the "couple times before it gets old" fragment.
