Guest croweater Report post Posted July 25, 2004 Teddy Long would be a breath of fresh air to the role. I have a problem with them changing GM's so often though. If you have to have one at least allow them to develope a character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2004 This SD! GM role swapping is becoming fucking ridiculous. As fun as Teddy Long is, another round of Corrupt General Manager/Booker/Owner is really not all that exciting. Shame Big Show isn't back soon, SD! needs the star power.

Aero 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2004 I actually didn't mind it when Stephanie was the face GM, until about spring 2003 when the whole Zach Gowen-Vince storyline started. I wouldn't mind seeing either Shane or Stephanie back as face GMs. It's better than the usual evil GM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted July 25, 2004 They should just give up on the GM being a serious heel type and go with Dusty Rhodes. He would serve no purpose what so ever, but his segments genuinely would add a very entertaining 20 minutes. If need be, he and JR can have political debates as well. What was Michaels' deal again? I remember he had I think an achilles injury, but I have a vague memory of it just being personal business too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mr. Wrestling Report post Posted July 25, 2004 Actually Shawn Michaels would make a good Smackdown General Manager. He would add the star power plus could be impartial and if need be he could wrestle. I'd like to see an authority figure that doesn't hide behind a desk and get others to do his bidding. Someone has a problem with Shawn, he books them in a match with HIMSELF. At least you'd have someone that can't be intimidated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Intestine 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2004 And what happened to the Paul Heyman/Taker feud? Where the hell is the urn? I don't know, because I didn't watch the PPV nor read about it.. because it looked so shitty.. But.. Didn't Taker no sell the dudleys, thus defying Heyman and killing Bearer? If that is how the story went, then I think by doing that he showed that Heyman, Bearer, nor the Urn have any power over him anymore. But.. maybe that didn't happen at all. All I heard is he "Killed" bearer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
