Kyle's Candidate #1
WWE.com recently put up an article promoting the idea of bringing back the hardcore championship. Obviously this championship which involves the brutal beatings with weapons at anytime and any place would not exactly fit with the "TV PG" rating that WWE has placed on itself, but everything that is going on in this company since the summer seems to be taking the company back to where it used to be. CM Punk talking about the old days and wanting to bring it back while becoming the new Stone Cold, Miz and Truth doing whatever they want whenever they want, and other "superstars"...let's stop the sugar coating...the other WRESTLERS talking about how things were and bringing back the old ways seems to be all very good signs of things to come. Now who better to bring back the old, more violent, more relevant ways of the company than a man who devoted his life to the hardcore lifestyle? Mick Foley is just the man to bring the attitude back to wrestling and stop with the little kid crap all the time. I would love to see this happen.
Kyle's Candidate #2
There is a man who was forced into retirement far too early due to his dedication to the business. He has been injured so many times and it has gotten to the point where the WWE doctors said he would never be cleared to wrestle again. If you keep up with my blog, or wrestling at all for that matter, you know that I am talking about "The Rated R Superstar" Edge. He had a lot of years left in his tank and I believe has a lot left to offer the company even if he is not able to wrestle anymore. The fact that he was taken out of action after Wrestlemania and has still not been given any on air position is insane. The guy should at least be an announcer. But the more I think about it, he can't do as much as an announcer as he could as the Raw GM. He can still be the Edge we all know and love (or hate) and get his TV time that he still deserves.
Kyle's Candidate #3
Maybe the least likely candidate in real life, The Rock seems like he would be an AWESOME choice for Raw GM. Think about it for a minute. They announced this guy's main event match at Wrestlemania 28 the day after Wrestlemania 27 and have done nothing with him since. Yeah, we all know he is going to be at Survivor Series this year, but then what? What happens after his match there? If they were smart, they would bring him in as the new Raw GM so that this rivalry with Cena can build up more until Mania. You can't have two guys who have been around each other 3 times this year be the main event at the biggest event of the year. Bring Rocky back as GM and have him make Cena's life hell for a while. They go back and forth for a few months and BAM...you got yourself a main event that actually means something. Not to mention, having Rocky back on Raw every week would be an excellent change!
So as you may or may not have realized while reading this, all three of these men are from the "Attitude Era". This is not by mistake. I think the GM should be someone who was around during the good days of wrestling when it was more interesting and more exciting. These guys have all been through the good times and know what it would take to get things back on track and where they need to be. And who knows, maybe if they fixed up Raw, they could turn their attention onto Smackdown and make that show stop sucking as well. Long story short, the answer to the problems in the WWE is to put someone from my generation of wrestling in charge of the show and watch how things get better instantly. I know I am not working for the company but I should be because things would be a lot less stupid if I were. Do what the fans want WWE and stop aiming your entire company at kids that are under 12 years old. We were here first and you don't want to lose the hardcore longtime fans for a bunch of Cena loving twerps. Get it together guys and do whatever it takes to get Johnny Ace off my TV screen.
As always, thanks for reading...and remember
Those who can't play must judge like a pro.
