For all those concerned - the injury status of the RAW announce team:
Two days after Brock Lesnar’s vicious assault on Monday Night Raw, WWE.com followed up with Michael Cole, JBL and Booker T about their resulting injuries.
After being sent to a local medical facility on Monday night, Michael Cole requested to go home for evaluation by his own doctors. Earlier today, he was diagnosed with a bulging disc at the C6/C7 level. In addition, he has been experiencing severe neck, back and right shoulder pain.
"Brock Lesnar could have cost me my career and my livelihood," Cole informed WWE.com via text message.
In addition, Cole confirmed that he will be back at the announce booth on Raw this Monday. While he would not comment on legal action, sources close to the voice of WWE state that he met with attorneys to discuss a possible lawsuit against Lesnar.
JBL left Monday Night Raw feeling some pain in his abdomen but, as a veteran of the ring, figured it wasn’t any more serious than anything he had experienced before.
However, he explained to WWE.com that he then woke in the middle of the night in excruciating pain and went to a local medical facility, where he was diagnosed with an abdominal wall tear. As a result, he had to undergo surgery on Tuesday and will rest at his home in Bermuda. He also confirmed that he will be at Monday Night Raw.
As a direct result of Lesnar’s assault, Booker T suffered contusions and general soreness, but no other injuries. The WWE Hall of Famer also confirmed that he, too, will be at Raw.

And the talking was actually entertaining back then. You had guys like Austin and Rock who could keep your interest without doing anything but talking. Now these guys are boring as fuck on the mic. The last guy with any mic skills whatsoever was CM Punk.

Also, I was really referring to the current generation. Heyman's been around forever. Obviously Paul Heyman is a master when it comes to mic skills.
Still, this started about the current wrestlers and their mic skills.. There are others worse than Reigns.
