For some reason all I can imagine now is rumors of Vince trying to break up couples where the guy doesn't deserve the girl and getting one of his TNA reports a year or so back.
VKM: "Usual stuff here. Wait, Maria Kanellis-Bennett? Why does that sound familiar?"
HHH: She won the Diva Search years ago. Dated that idiot Punk for awhile and we gave her a college scholarship a few years ago.
"Oh, yeah, red head. Good girl. Hot as hell. Who is this Bennett? That isn't Nexus loser you tried to sell me on was it Paul?"
No, hold on. *pulls out his phone and googles Mike Bennett* This is him
"Jesus Christ no. He is like one of those Neutrals from Futurama. You heard of it Hunter? Great documentary on the future. Hilarious stuff. We need a Bender gimmick down there in your OVW."

WWE already screwed it up by putting him on SmackDown. He's supposed to immediately follow every single Matt Hardy segment. How have we ended up in a situation where Mike Bennett has the more interesting character than Matt Hardy? Oh right... The legal stuff over the Broken gimmick. They should've given this gimmick to the Hardys. New age sugary-sweet gay incestuous romance, it'd be great.

In 2 minutes on WWE TV I'm more interested in him than his entire TNA run.

Is that Mike "random nickname" Bennett a thing that he did while he was in TNA and ROH? I never watched him there so I don't know.

I still love the fact that they took the Mr Maria joke and ran all the way with it

Which they are still hinting at anyway... even as far as last night during the Great Balls of Fire promo I mean it's not a coincidence that they had Matt read the "You broke my will, but what a thrill" line

Well, here it is. <Vince> JESUS CHRIST NO, PAUL! I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS BROKEBACK HILLBILLY SHIT! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FIND A JOCK THAT LOOKS LIKE I DID AT 32 AND HIS HOT LITTLE SISTER! I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A DEGENERATE! <HHH> *just walks away, shaking his head*

It's all for naught if Mike and Maria don't have at least 7 separate segments to themselves every single Tuesday. The more the better, probably. WWE already screwed it up by putting him on SmackDown. He's supposed to immediately follow every single Matt Hardy segment. I'm more disappointed he's not on Raw because o would have loved segments with them with Miz and Maryse

Why does he have her last name ? WWE Marketing. Maria Kanellis was already her name in WWE anyway so it's not exactly like they're repackaging her with another name.

I'm sorry, but Mike Bennett was f***ing perfect last night. I have never given a shit about him or Maria (I mean, y'know, other than the obvious with Maria), but they immediately had me interested last night.
I love the fact that they are playing straight into the "Without Maria, Bennett is useless" thing. I thought the entire thing was brilliant.

All I was able to focus on during that segment was his horrendous hair. Whoever let him on TV with that chop job should be ashamed of themselves. I really haven't watched anything with him prior, so maybe really bad hair is part of his whole thing?

Oh yeah, I thought him taking her name was an absolutely gold touch. That and Fashion Vice were the best things on the PPV last night, which is kind of a sad statement considering neither segment was actual wrestling.
I have thought for a long time that Bennett would probably fare better in WWE. He's been miscast in his entire career, basically coming off like a cheesy, semi skilled WWE developmental guy in ROH and then Maria so totally overwhelmed him in TNA that he had no chance. Bennett has always been a guy who promoters fall all over themselves wanting to push for some inexplicable reason, but given some of the stuff WWE has booked this year would a Mike Bennett push even rank in the top 10 dumbest things?

So how soon does Dolph Ziggler steal Maria away from Mike? That's the obvious Vincent Kennedy McMahon booking route there.
