I think one of them should at least be leaning babyface so they can eventually have their stables feud with each other. Also, they need to manage more people. One woman and one tag team between the two of them isn’t enough. Do it like a cheesy sports movie where Robert Stone leads his stable of losers over Bivens' heavily favored powerhouse team in a match. Yes, I was just thinking of that. Have Stone in his current state of mind seemingly be only able to recruit enhancement-level talents... You know, like Ever-Rise, the luchadora that somehow did main roster stuff briefly, that kind of thing, and they don’t win at all until the final blowoff match. Feel to free to include someone who is actually potentially good as the Charlie Conway of the group.

Robbie E was one of the funniest comedy goof characters I've seen around, not just in Impact. He committed himself to the role in a way that was actually super fun. He's been funny. I think they should just make Malcolm Bivens the serious and successful manager guy and keep Stone as the goof who keeps being rejected by potential clients and may or may not be addicted to coke. Just go full Herb Abrams with Stone. (Without the tragedy, of course)

I do wonder if they will put Robbie E back in the ring at some point He's smaller then he was since he isn't on the gas but still has a good look. Either way manager spot is good for him and he has the personality to show it Vince probably just heard of Jersey Shore NOW, sooooooo.... Prob. a stretch, but someone said Stone was supposed to be some kind of Tony Khan reference? So, Rob Strauss' lot in life is to spoof other TV characters and personalities then? Nah, Snookie was at Mania so he's been aware of it before. Hell, Zack Ryder was based off that gimmick that Robbie E then ripped off.

I admit I wanted to see Robbie E make an appearance and tag with Riddle bro.
I do like his current role as the talent scout no one can be bothered with though (except Aliyah who can't even reach that low bar of success). but just how quickly he fell from the heights of being with charlotte flair, the then NXT champ in triumph, then 1 week later he has nothing. granted Chelsea hasn't been seen since so which one actually comes out ahead in this? Chelsea who has moved beyond the RSB but hasn't been on TV or Robert stone who is on TV every week getting buried by his would be recruits more and more each time?

Imagine what this poor dude's going to do when he gets rejected by Ever-Rise.

Zack's gimmick was based on "My New Haircut". His entrance theme "Oh Radio" was even a take on "Sunglasses at Night" by Corey Hart which was played throughout the video.

Chelsea Greene is never gonna make it to the main roster,and Rhea has already peaked in NXT. These short term setbacks are blessings in the long run for Robet Stone Brand. I can't wait to see him turn it around and lead many wrestlers to gold.

Not being funny and no offense intended but “Malcolm Bivens should be a more serious manager” is one of the worst ideas I‘ve heard here.

...after the Jeff Hardy sequence, presumably Vince is going to introduce Robert's brother, Kidney.

(language) "Not now, chief, I'm in the f***ing zone!" Of course, this video was mocking existing broski culture stuff, but Zack seemed to be more drawing from this, whereas Robbie E was more of a general stereotype gag.

I'm not familiar with his work outside of NXT so none taken, but I just think two comedy goober managers on one show is too many. I guess you can make him a little goofy while Stone is just a full-on dork.

Robbie E was a direct ripoff of Jersey Shore: the tron logo being the same font as Jersey Shore, his name being a reference to Paulie D, being given Becky Bayless as a manager named Cookie, a couple cast members appeared in TNA during that time.

I don't really get what the point was of having Chelsea kick him to the curb. I don't think it had enormous potential or anything but I thought they were perfectly fine as a heel midcard act in the women's division. I think she's definitely better with him then without him.
