cash it creates, and I realize, Bischoff's return angle led absolutley nowhere. I mean, wasn't he supposed to be the new RAW GM? Didn't Vince say he was still finding a GM? RAW still doesn't have a GM? Hell, he didn't even become Rated RKO's manager. I don't get it. Was this supposed to generate controversy. I don't think it helped. I can't imagine that it created much cash. I don't know.

I still say they were probably on the cusp of re-creating the nWo using none of the original people (except Bischoff)

Coach is kinda RAW's GM now, though that entire angle just fizzled.

I am still waiting for GM Dusty Rhodes. Hell i'm still waiting for GM Ted DiBiase, but since he quit I guess i'm now waiting for GM IRS "I WANT MY DAMN TITLE SHOT!" "Not until you file your taxes, HHH" |

I can only dream of Raw GM Bob Backlund, just for the interaction on cross-brand PPVs with Teddy Long.
Teddy: Lemme holla-holla at ya, playa!
Mr. Backlund: Use proper syntax, young man!!! And you will address me as Mr Backlund!!
Teddy: Now ya see, playa, this is TV changing Friday nights, ya feel me? So tonight, we're going to have the entire RAW roster go one on one with....THE UNDERTAKAH!! Ya feel me?
Mr. Backlund: Don't you exacerbate me, young man. It's a statistical impossiblity for a roster to go one on one with one man.
Teddy: And his partner...BOBBY LASHLAY!!! Holla holla holla!!!
(Teddy dances away. Mr Backlund locks him in the crossface chickenwing)

Here's a novel idea WWE can try:
HAVE NO GENERAL MANAGER ON RAW AND JUST HAVE THE ANNOUNCERS STATE THE CARD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW.
I mean seriously, I don't see why every show (TNA included) has to have a dastardly general manager getting in everyone's business. It's really kind of a dated concept. They should just have the announcers say what the matches are, and let the audience draw their own conclusion that some manager behind the scenes came up with it.

Yeah, the heel authority figure can still play a role in today's wrestling world, but it's SO overdone that's it's lost almost all it's effectiveness.
Try a face authority figure, a neutral one (which I remember Bischoff almost became back in late 2004, before they re-turned him heel to feud with Cena), or none at all for awhile, and watch how refreshing it seems.
Also, I'd mainly want to see Backlund back if he determines title contenders via the Bob Backlund Authorized Push-Up Points System.

I want GM Scott Hall. He'd come out and do a quick survey of the fans like in his nWo days, then eat a chili dog and make a match.

Now I really want GM Bob Backlund. Or at least GM Roddy Piper.
