Michael Cole recently made an appearance on the Sports Media podcast to discuss a wide range of topics.
During the podcast, the longtime WWE commentator was asked when he plans to retire from the broadcast booth. In four years, he’ll hit the 30-year mark with the company and wants to achieve that milestone. He said,
“People ask me all the time, ‘How long you gonna do this for?’ I’ll tell you one thing, 30 years would be a really cool goal. That’s four years from now but I can promise you this, I will get out before I slip. I’m not gonna be — and no disrespect to anyone else, I’m not gonna be a 75, 80-year-old man doing this week in and week out. I’ve busted my ass, I’ve made a really good living and I wanna be able to get out while the going’s good and still be able to enjoy the rest of my life and I don’t wanna be a shell of myself. I don’t wanna be that, ‘My God, he used to be good. He’s not good anymore.’ I don’t wanna be that person.”
