Who's this guy? He's of no importance to me. Someone, I can't remember who, described him as "The British Billy Gunn" (This was before he became Daddy Ass in AEW), which was a pretty good description. Though I would totally mark out if instead of becoming Smackdown GM, Trips decided to give him a "Mr Arse" gimmick.

They would have asked Dario but he is both on the run and also he requires atleast one dead body a show....that first one was a deal breaker.

They should’ve brought him in years ago and teamed him with a certain poseur: Aldis & Moore

Just a big old Nah from me.
I have never, ever 'got' Aldis. Just the very definition of meh. Bland, capable I suppose, but just bland and 'there.'
His best feature is his wife, and she isn't coming in with him.

Hopefully he’s just doing it to heal up some injuries before returning to the ring eventually
Happy for him

I remember when Aldis was feuding with Alex Shelley over the Impact World title earlier this year, Aldis did this long, rambling promo until Shelley, who went to sit with fans in the crowd, basically told Aldis to stop whining and bitching so much.

A crappy grocery store is debuting? Boo! Aldi is an affordable option if you don’t care about brand name products.

Can he please go back to the Magnus name. It's short for *Magnificent* in case you didn't know! Only if he wears the gladiator attire.

If they are going to have a new onscreen authority figure, can he at least have authority over something unique. Like be the safety inspector, head of accounting, or chief diversity officer. The NXT Parking Lot Constable.

They should debut him by having WWE try to order Roman to come back to TV and defend his title only for a smug Roman, appearing via satellite, say that he won't listen to anyone who hasn't ever been a champion for at least 1,000 days in a row.
Only suddenly Wade Barrett appears for some reason and says he's afraid he's got some bad news for Roman and introduces forner 1,043 day NWA champion Nick Aldis as the new Smackdown GM (Michael Cole says "They're both British, so they know each other" on commentary while this is happening) and Roman (live via satellite) sputters and fumes at this turn of events (Corey Graves helpfully says "1,043 days, that's more than 1,000, Cole").
And then suddenly Jerry Lawler appears and says to Wade "Hey Barrett - maybe next week, you won't be here!" and Barrett is like "Yes, well, I'm on Raw normally" but Lawler nods confidently at him, having won, and the segment ends with 3.8 million viewers.

But isn't all you said something perfect for a GM or do you want them to be a main character like Heyman or Bischoff (and "no more authority figures" is not an option)?

Honestly, as Error said, the logic of a new GM for Smackdown makes sense and his example was a great one. Who did the trade for Jey Uso to Raw? Adam Pearce? Why would he be remotely interested in agreeing to that? Who did he trade for? Like, we figured it’s Cody but it still feels like something that could be done with someone on another show to put over that deals can be done unless you’re committing to Adam Pearce talking in a mirror to himself for every match involving Raw and Smackdown talent. And there are many examples where things would be more ironed out with another GM because they’re still committed to that idea and instead having us believe one guy would hurt one brand to benefit another just because. Would I pick Aldis? He can talk well enough and he’s in the company anyway and out of the agents they have, he probably is the only one with any look of authority so sure. Who else would we have in that spot? Billy Kidman?

No, because I have to want to care at least. If I dont event care for the authority figure, why do I care what they have to say?
