Surely Virtua GM is meant to piss you off?

[James McCloud IS John Godot]

With its constant interrupting of promos, the elaborate podium, the wait for Michael Cole to get up, saunter over, slide on his reading glasses and read the damn email and the constant use of "and I quote", surely Virtua GM is meant to get heat?

I dunno, it just seems like a lot of people complain about it like its supposed to be awesome and fun when it seems pretty clear its suppose to make you roll your eyes.

Of course, not all heat is good heat. Unless you think it is. Anyway, the point is, Virtua GM is a heel, no wonder it's annoying.

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

Well yes, because it's obviously the secret leader of the Nexus.

Even so, under other circumstances this could totally work as a face, just if the GM made face-friendly announcements. If there was the ding interrupting a ranting Chris Jericho and Cole said, "And I quote, 'Evan Bourne gets to kick Chris Jericho in the balls five times," people would cheer and he'd be a face.

It's just that faces can't have shades of grey. Face GM Teddy Long keeps being totally unfair to heels and it's supposed to be great. The GM gives the Nexus credit too, and that makes him a heel.

any know how as to who the GM actually is though.

[Deleted]

Probably supposed to be, although I still have no real clue to his alignment since he makes as many decisions in favor of faces as heels.

Though the interruptions don't really piss me off - I kind of look forward to them since they're amusing and tend to interrupt moments I don't otherwise care about.

The GM is Michael Cole. Hes spent over 10 years commentating on these guys. He knows their mannerisms and quotes.

So was there the lights flickering on Monday? I missed it.

[Matt Dunn]

Yeah, it's irritating. And the crowd regularly shits on it. On Monday there were tons of "what" chants which, by themselves, are infuriating.

I think that the WWE doesn't even know who the GM will be, so I figure they'll drag this thing out until everyone is completely bored with it, then HHH will return and destroy the computer with a sledgehammer, hopefully making a hilarious dying computer noise afterwards.

Does anyone else think it will be revealed to be Eugene seeing as he used to mimmick all his favourite wrestlers from the past?

They're not booing the GM, they're booing Michael Cole.

They're not really even booing anymore. It's "what' chants. IE, "please stop this crap now."

But, "the GM says, and I quote..."

WHAT?!!!!!!!!

[N E O G E O B O Y S]

Great, now I want to see a game produced by Sega and AM2 called Virtua General Manager

[Turd Ferguson]

What if this GM is really some kid in Wisconsin that's playing EWR and talking to his computer?

You got me. I'm the GM. I'm not from Wisconsin, though.

[héad.casé]

I loved how when the crowd started chanting "WHAT?", Cole started to stop taking pauses, giving them no chance to really say it, I thought that was awesome.

I'd mark if it was Nick Dinsmore. With a decent haircut. In a 3-Piece Suit.

[Impact Zone's #1 DUMMY...YEAH]

Dumb question.

When Mark Henry was facing Miz on Monday and Miz side-stepped him, letting Henry ram right into the podium, what happened to the computer? Supposedly it's always up on the podium, right? So it should have flown into the crowd.
