Michael Cole Finally Getting His Push?

Do you remember Coach? He started off as just an interviewer. Most would have easily looked over him in many interactions, except maybe when The Rock was humiliating him. He turned heel. He started wrestling. He was even undefeated at PPVs for a while. He ran Raw a bit. He became a big deal. From humble beginnings.

A lot of people like to poke fun at Michael Cole. Over the past year or so, he has really been even mocking himself. He has been showing a bit more character here and there. He even turned into something of a heel for NXT. His issues with Bryan Danielson will not end that easy. Is it time for Cole to be more than just a commentator? Does he want to be? What can he do? A minor feud with Danielson? They will never have to wrestle a real match, but they can just follow the path of Bret Hart. How about Cole becomes his manager? Either he learns to respect Danielson or Danielson turns heel. The WWE just seems to really be pushing that Cole is more than a guy who calls matches now. I would expect something more to come from that.

What will happen to the Raw announce team if Cole got involved in angles? Should he stop announcing, would this not free up a spot for Jim Ross to return? I am sure Raw is where he would want to be anyway. Problem is, does the WWE want him back? Does the WWE really want to even start down this path? All speculation.
