Lost in all the lame comedy and tired booking clichés last night, Michael Cole actually had a really funny line last night. When they were answering the trivia question on whom Sgt. Slaughter beat for his first (and only) WWE Championship, Jerry Lawler replied that he thought that Slaughter beat Randy Savage, to which Cole replied "Best color man in the business". Not only was it a nice, friendly dig at Lawler, it was inadvertantly a nod to RAW's past, when Savage was the first color commentator for the WWE's flagship show.
Add that to Triple H's subtle digs at Batista and Ric Flair last week, and I'm starting to sense a lot of smart-assedness creeping into things. That's a good thing, seeing as guys like to bust each other's balls and wrestling is the quintessential guy show. I wish that they'd move the humor more into that direction from this weaksauce sitcom bullshit. Derive laughs from busting balls and from legit comic relief guys like Santino. It'd make the show that much better.
