Long-time WWE commentator and WWE veteran Michael Cole appeared on the Pat McAfee Show to speak about a number of topics such as how when you have a storyline like the Bloodline, which has been on WWE TV for three years, it should be nominated for an Emmy award.
Michael Cole said:
“When you have a story like the Bloodline, which for three years, should be nominated for an Emmy award. Roman Reigns should be your best actor. Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman, all these guys should be nominated.”
Michael Cole also spoke about how it's a crime that WWE has not won an Emmy award for 52 weeks a year of scripted and no repeat television of RAW, SmackDown and NXT and for WrestleMania as well.
Michael Cole said:
“How WWE has not won an Emmy award for, forget 52 weeks a year of Raw and SmackDown and NXT, scripted television, no repeats. Forget the unbelievable award-winning documentaries that our team does each week. A guy like Chris Chambers, who has been doing this for over 30 years and putting together some of the greatest documentaries this business has ever seen and the television business has ever seen. Let’s talk about never winning an Emmy award for WrestleMania. That event is absolutely incredible. Being able to put on a premium live event like we do, now over two days a weekend, cannot be matched or duplicated by anyone in the television business, it just can’t. When you look at the amount of production that goes into that. The work that our executive producer Kevin Dunn does, directors like Marty Miller do, our camera guys, our backstage production people, pyrotechnics, studio people who put together incredible packages, and on top of that, the best athletes on the entire planet, and we haven’t won an Emmy award yet? That’s a crime. That’s why I don’t give a damn about any of these awards. They don’t matter because they’re not being given to people who deserve it or have earned it.”
