They could pretty easily fix this if everyone was given a robot gimmick.

I personally think that Renee is better than Gene, but i did not grow up with him and only saw it later in my life. The other girl is generic as hell , thats true. Okerlund did something more important, kept everyone on point and mostly hid all the limitations of the guy giving the promo. He talked when he needed to and shut up when he needed to. Okerlund was perfect at his job. |

Okerlund was perfect at his job. He was also masterful at feeding the guys a topic to riff on, reacting to things they did during and after the interview, and having a retort if someone improved on him (I always think of the WCW moment with Savage: "YOUR MUSTACHE IS CROOKED!" "...Your beard is a little off-center!"). Okerlund was arguably the best of all time at the gig. |

Okerlund was perfect at his job. Yes I agree, but when it comes to hosting entire events and not only backstage interviews, I think Renee is the full package. She could go to a big network and host a show no problem in my opinion. WWE´s thankfull to have her. Okerlund was great at working with those lunatics in the 80s and 90s, but it just wouldn´t work in this day and age. But I think Renee wouldn´t work in that era as well. So it´s kind of a generation thing. |

I also loved that Mean Gene took shit from no one. He didn't care who you were, he would tell you exactly what he thought of you.
