He needs to get a little bit of Monica in his life.

I liked it and thought he did a very good job with the material he was given.

The accent is still there, it's just not as exaggerated, there's no hat or cigars or my favourite part 'HA-HA!' but he's still awesome and he did a great job.

Those complaining about Estrada being cut down. He's a heel. A heel should not get a face reaction. Armando was getting a face reaction. Therefore, WWE took the correct, in my mind, mentality of taking away what got his pop.

Yeah but if guys are getting pops because if what they do as a heel why make them boring to stop that and so and make the audience lose interest? The better option would be to have Armando return as a face, keep him the same as he was with Umaga but just have him as either a face GM (Could be the annonymous GM from Raw ) or a face manager.

Therefore, WWE took the correct, in my mind, mentality of taking away what got his pop. Another thing that people are forgetting is gimmick overlap. The WWE already has an arrogant, overbearing Latino heel that introduces himself at the beginning of every promo. His name is Alberto Del Rio. (But you already knew that.) I know that the Estrada gimmick predates Del Rio by a few years, and that the gimmick particulars are different (cars and money for one, over sized cigars and a snazzy hat for the other), but it doesn't matter. A quasi-main eventer who got over faster than anyone in recent memory trumps a manager who is on his second run with the company every time. EDIT: And does Estrada sans the suit and cigars look like Raffi to anyone else? I can't find a picture of him from Superstars, but here's one of Raffi.

I just can't see why WWE would want to phase out "characters" when they are starting to target kids more. Surely they should be pushing to get more characters going.

You'd almost think Vince forgets that most of Hogan's title run was feuding with the Heenan family... and Bobby Heenan throwing opponent after opponent to try and end Hulkamania.
It prolongs feuds. I honestly believe that trying to explain to Vince how booking John Cena in a Heenan family style feud would be the equivalent as Lisa explaining to Homer about Sideshow Bob's intentions to kill Selma... then going to Marge and her getting it right away. It's a shame there is no Marge on creative.

He needs to get a little bit of Monica in his life. Or maybe he needs a little bit of Rita.

Didn't he drop the gimmick after the death of Umaga in respect, there's a video on Youtube the day after his death where he said "this will be the last time I ever say this" and then did the whole shebang
