He's also set himself up as Miz's cheerleader, but he has no storyline connection to the guy. It's just...weird. And it probably makes zero sense to most of the Raw audience, who hasn't watched a second of NXT.

I think the genesis of that is that Vince doesn't like guys that weren't made by him, so he expressed that through Cole constantly bagging on the "internet darling". He is doing the exact same thing to Ki this season, he's just not as big of an ass about it.
It's also jarring that for the most part he is a face announcer on Raw then he was doing the heel announcer schtick on NXT. But no matter how you cut it, he just flat out sucks as an announcer.
On Raw, sometimes Cole needs to be reminded that he hates Dragon. Like when Dragon attacked Miz during the Cena match, Cole really didn't get frothed up until the very end. He should have been losing his mind from the get go because the guy he hated was beating on his mancrush. Another reason why he sucks, consistency is an important thing in rasslin'
