WWE commentator Michael Cole, one of the oldest stars on WWE list, worked under Vince McMahon and Paul “Triple H” Levesque and has now explained the main differences in their leadership styles.
Cole, during his recent appearance on Logan Paul “”Impactive“Podcast, credited McMahon for his WWE career and said he would not criticize him. He thinks that the former WWE president kept him, despite the mistakes he made in his first years at WWE because McMahon wanted to shape him as he wanted to.
“I think that one of the things on the old regime – and listen, I will never denigrate Vince McMahon. Yeah, he has his personal problems and so on, but from a professional point of view, I will never disparage The man. A Guy of struggle allowed Vince to shape me in the advertiser he wanted me to be, and he stuck with IT.
The veteran commentator said McMahon had the reputation of dismissing people even for the most harmless things, and is surprised that he lasted so long during his reign.
Cole on what changed under the reign of triple H
Since Paul “Triple H” Levesque took care of the creation of WWE, Michael Cole seems to have had a new lease on life when he presented his true personality. He explained how Levesque and another WWE leader Lee allowed him to shine.
“When Vince is gone and Paul (Levesque) took over, triple H, he really changed things. And then we brought Lee Fitting, who came from Espn. Lee, coming from ESPN, where talent is the advertiser, came here and said and said “I do not understand why our guys in the office are not bigger, have more important characters and are as respected as people in the ring”, a Declared Cole. “You know, being the old school, I understand that the guys and the girls in the ring are the ones who put their bodies in play every week. People buy tickets to see Roman Reigns; They do not buy tickets to see Michael Cole. “”
Cole praised his colleague commentator Pat McAfee and said that he liked to work alongside him, with whom he has a real friendship. The commentator “WWE RAW” added another major difference between working with Vince McMahon and Paul Levesque is that the latter does not constantly give him instructions during the show, that McMahon was famous for having done. He conceded, however, that he could not bear any resentment against McMahon for having acted in this way because it was his product and he wanted it to be in a way.
