Have we REALLY discussed this on here? I mean in detail.
Right off the bat, he's got more talent and cred than Mike Adamle, but I can't take this guy seriously as a heel authority figure. It's that damn voice of his.
P.S. They still haven't actually resolved the anonymous GM story.

He has to have one of the dullest voices in WWE history. It's so dull, it sounds like it hurts.
The anonymous GM is an odd situation because they still have podium there and they've referenced it a couple of times (rather than just completely ignoring it ever existed). Can anyone remember what it's last message was?

Who voiced the anon GM that time that it talked to Edge? It sounded like Glados.
Maybe at the end of all this, the anon GM will find Ace's robotic voice hot, download itself into a female wrestler (some new chick they wanna debut), and hook up with him.
Then they'll have a reign of terror on Raw where she'll be a smart, emotionless, hot assistant protecting her incompetent boyfriend boss.

He's what I imagine Vince McMahon would be if you took a magical vacuum and sucked out every trace of personality he has. The very barebones definition of a generic heel authority figure.

He's terrible and barely more tolerable than Adamle. He looks like he has some kind of open eyed narcolepsy syndrome when someone confronts him and he blankly stares back at them. He is supposed to be cocky I assume when he introduces his job title, but it just comes across as him trying to spit it out without flummoxing the line.
If Survivor Series is the blowoff to him being on tv, it can't get here soon enough. Like him or not, Bischoff sets the bar for sleazy heel authority figure. Nobody can do the Vince act, so if we must have a bad guy boss, watch some film of Bisch rather than having Marty Funkhouser saying "a little respect here", then blankly staring for 30 seconds to get heat.

I wonder if he can still wrestle. If he still had some in-ring ability...maybe he could get over as a GM who could kick your ass if you don't do what he says.

It's kinda brilliant. If this is the Internet/Reality Era, who better to be the heel authority figure than the guy the Internet already hates?

He's pretty awful. I never understood the logic behind putting someone in a heavy speaking role, when they clearly can't act very well...

If there was a yawning smilie, possibly with remote in hand, that'd be my pick.
It honestly smacks a bit of " well internet fans hate him, here he is", when the reasons some hate him have nothing to do with his character.
Plus it's one more iteration of evil boss; hence the yawn on my part.

I just want someone to bring up the Road Warriors. Like Punk saying something like, "If you put on some spiked shoulder pads and painted a spider on your face, maybe I'd pay attention to you."

Followed by a blank stare, Punk walking off in confusion/frustration and Johnny Ace sending a text on his phone. EVIL!!

I can't even begin to tell you how tired I am of heel general managers who make sure to go out of their way to screw over all face wrestlers. So my answer is simply . As far as his charisma(or lack thereof), there's a reason he was a success in Japan where mic skills aren't required(Besides being Mrs. Baba's boy toy) and failed as an American pro wrestler where mic skills are essential.

I said There are so many more heels on Raw. If they had a face GM, they could have done a lot more storylines and segments. They've really limited themselves. Plus, Laurinitis does "absolutely suck." LOL. But on the upside, he makes Morrison's promos seem amazing. ;D
