Bring it on you old grave digger. He is one move away from being in a walker and a jello diet. I think these days anyone can beat his undead ass. He has really gotten his character done perfect today cause he legit looks like the walking dead in his cast couple matches. They been awful. He is ruining his legacy a lil bit each time he comes back. He has sucked for while but refuses to give it up or Vince is so scared of a WWE without taker that he can't pull the plug, even though he only shows up once a year. If Vince was this so called genius. He would have never met Tkaer get beaten at WM sand then for many years to come, you could have brought him in and had him quickly squash the most annoying character in the WWE at that point of time. People would just pop for the entrance, the slot throat taunt and tombstone is all they would want to see. But Vince ruined it and now still brings him to do matches, especially in the main event that he is too old to perform at that level do anymore. Sad. Hopefully he is done soon.

I miss Teddy Long, and he was in Wrestler's Court lol (Watch Undertaker's latest interview on Broken Skull Sessions and you'll hear a funny story on why he was there once).
I remember fondly my first and only time going to wrestlemania Access in NY. One of the most ludicrous things I saw (aside from Jimmy Snuka strolling the halls with everyone else) was seeing Teddy Longs meet and greet booth having absolutely no line. It made me really sad that no one was lined up to meet him. He was just sitting there really sad. Which is a shame because I went up to meet him and he was the nicest guy and was willing to do so much like sign autographs and take a ton of pictures. He was like Virgil but he was actually slated to appear for the event and wasn’t all in your face with it.

Nicky Morris no the wrong kind of heat is when you get booed cos youre bad television. If someone has the right kind of heat you should want to watch them lose. I just didn’t want to watch her, and I know from other forums I’m not the only one. I stopped watching WWE for a while because of her, she was just boring and unbearable. Unlike someone like Triple H or Edge who were entertaining villains, or McMahon if you want an authority figure example. When McMahon was running the show I hated him but he entertained me, Vicky just made me want the segment to be over

He certainly played the role with an air of legitimacy, and as a kid I thought Jack Tunney had a position of power. I knew Vince McMahon was the CEO of the WWF, but honestly thought Jack Tunney handled the day-to-day operations of the shows. I did not know the term "booker", but thought that was his position; whereas Vince handled things on the corporate level.

I was lucky enough to go to a Raw live event when AJ was still the GM. She hadn't been advertised so once the surprise wore off, she got a pretty loud pop. All she did was cut a quick promo, but she was probably the most over person that night.
Vickys phrase “ excuse me me” made my blood run cold” it was perfect😍
My favourite GMs growing up were Stephanie Eric and Paul heymen the early 2000s were amazing especially when Steph was a face and having Paul as a heel after she left were great memories growing up watching smackdown

Trump was/is widely unpopular and frankly loathed by a good many people outside America, so it's not really at all surprising that a British person holds those views about him. Many Australians feel the same way. A big reason for this is that America is a lot further to the political right. The Democrats are pretty conservative/right wing by international standards, while the Republicans are waaaaay out to the far right. Put it this way - you're far more likely to find someone in Australia or the UK who will support Bernie Sanders' policies than you are likely to find someone who will support Trump's.

Top 3 is on point! I feel like you could of gone with Long or Bischoff for the 2nd and third spot. They very much the ying and yang of GMs. When I think of the perfect face GM I thinking of Teddy.

ok so I know the anonymous gm was hated, and the point of the heel is to give the good guy someone to fight and to be so hated that when the heel finally gets his come upings it is a joy to watch. so what was the point of hornswoggle being the anonymous gm if you can not do that with him??
