Major Backstage Heat On WWE Announcer - Details

Sources say that Michael Cole has some major heat on him right now from within WWE. The feeling is that he isn't taking his job seriously anymore and officials aren't happy with some of his "stupid" comments made on TV lately. They also feel that he is no longer putting the company first.

There may be another shuffling of announcers soon as Jerry Lawler being attacked on RAW Monday night and Matt Striker filling in for him was done so WWE could test the waters to see how the different announcers work together. Vince is said to be very high on Matt Striker at the moment.

Word is that several people who had been trying out for the new WWE announcer spot were contacted this past week and thanked for applying but were told that someone else had been hired.

Striker has been great taking JR's spot on SD and I have never really liked Cole. I thought that Cole/Tazz made a great team and Cole/JBL made a great team, but King is not that good, so there is no one to carry Cole on Raw.
