The GMs are killing both shows

[Cheech&Chong]

These dudes are so bad in the rolls they've been given. Micks whole kiss ass, nice guy thing ain't working and DBry is just such a tool. They both bring the show down. Every promo they've done have been cringe worthy. Neither of them can act and all this screen time is showing that.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

agree

 

[3Rivers]

The authority figure/GM in general is just extremely tired at this point

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Is that really what is killing both shows to you

You haven't watched an episode of Talking Smack I presume.

I'm sick of the whole authority figure in wrestling. We shouldn't be seeing the commissioner/president/general manager/etc on the show unless it's something like Jack Tunney in the 80's and Gorilla Monsoon in the 90's. 2-3 times a year tops.

 

[R=G]

They aren't killing the shows at all..lol

 

[SpacelySprockets]

another played out tired aspect of professional wrestling that needs to go, along with the whole "office" thing.. seth rollins talking about how he and stephanie had so much memories in this room like they dont travel to a new arena every week


having both a commissioner and a gm is stupid, but what makes it even worse is the people appointed to these roles(mick foley specifically), one minute he's kissing stephs ass the next minute he's trying to out-alpha the wrestler the next he's fumbling lines like his cte is kicking in or something.. and stephanie's act has been tired for years, she emasculates dudes on screen to stroke her own ego and claim its female empowerment

It's been an ongoing angle in WWE TV since 1998, that's 18 fukking years, an eternity in wrestling

I would say you need one person around to run things. But I wouldn't want them cutting long ass promos every week and getting involved in matches and all of that.

This is what I'm saying. They use this shyt as a cheap crutch to get heel heat for the McMahon's and their off-shoots. They're seriously delusional in regards to letting the performers be front and center.

Authority worked when it first started because Vince allowed himself to get beat up and look like a fool. Bischoff too when he was Raw GM.


Since then it's been the other way around, especially with Steph

 

[StatUS]

Regal's been the best authority figure for years. I got no problems with Foley or D Bry either.

Nigel McGuiness does fine on ROH too as long as he doesn't do commentary anymore

 

[Playaz Eyez]

It's much more brutal on Raw than SD. Steph's mere presence makes me want to go to sleep. This isn't exactly "killing" both shows, but the concept of a GM/authority figure is terribly dated

 

[Silkk]

Our GM actually hosts a weekly post show discussing the nights' events and how it effects the show while giving wrestlers an additional platform to show their character and voice their opinion.

I don't know how anyone can look at the D Bryan/Miz stuff from the past month and say its killing anything. This was the first time Miz has been relevant in forever
