Who Would Make A Good Manager?

[Robstar]

Who do you think WWE could utilise as managers? With certain returning stars (and existing ones) in need of a mouthpiece, I thought I'd offer up a few suggestions, apart from the most obvious.

Edge
Mick Foley
Christian
Teddy Long
Roddy Piper
Michelle McCool
Matt Striker
Booker T

Piper and Long have been in manager roles, and neither went over that well. Most (not all) of the best managers throughout wrestling history have been former wrestlers that didn't fair well in the ring and had a physically weak image compaired to the wrestlers they managed. Or a persona developed just to be a manager. I don’t think huge guys that used to back their superstar ego in the ring would make good managers because it always tends to end in a wrestler/manager match, and the manager position is short lived. I agree with Striker. Maybe Santino of he dropped the overly fake accent. Or even Cole as the new Cornette.

Are you kidding me?? Teddy was the manager for Doom while they had the (NWA/WCW) Tag Team titles. Long also teamed up and then managed the Skyscrapers (Dan Spivey and Sid Vicious) with good success and when Sid got injured he recruited Mark Calaway. Yes Mark "THE UNDERTAKER" Calaway to replace him! He also managed loads of NWA and WCW wrestlers including Johnny B Badd, Marcus Bagwell, Bobby Eaton etc..

Teddy was a better manager than he ever was a GM.

Are you kidding me? I know that Long has managed some of the greats, but in a manager role what did he actually bring to the table? I have been a wrestling fan for over 30 years and nothing that Long did as a manager stands out other than the wrestlers that were given to him to manage. Long has never been over as a manager when you compare him to his counterparts. I will give you that he was a better manager than a GM, but he was a better ref than a manager.

Here's why Scott Steiner needs to be a manager.

"The way I see it, you already got two strikes against ya. One; you're not big enough, or strong enough to go one on one with the genetic freak. The other thing is, you're from that stinking country you call Canada. So watch, I think it's your time, to go back up, to that cesspool, that place we call MEXICO NORTH. And I apologize to all the Mexicans out there." (to Christian Cage)

Jeff and I thought maybe he'd pick the Ultimate Warrior, someone that's from his past, maybe his good buddy Lex Luger, or even Goldberg. But he picked Christian Cage, a guy who says he can't understand a word I'm saying. Well, you see, I come from a highly educated university, so when I come out and speak to this white trash, I gotta dumb myself down. But apparently that wasn't stupid enough for Christian Cage!"

So DDP, when you in the hospital screaming in pain...your wife is going to be on her back screaming my name!"

"See, everybody knows American white trash is up here-" (puts a hand above his head for emphasis) "-and then Canadian white trash is way down here." (points down to the ground for emphasis) "So Christian Cage, I got a question for ya: what's it like knowing you're the lowest form of homie sapien there is!?"

Just like at Hirojima, when Pearl Harbor bombed the Germans!

I got a problem with Samoa Joe calling himself Samoa Joe. You're a freakin' half breed, and I'm gonna treat you like a half breed."

Ric Flair for sure

Micheal Cole he is super over as a heel. If he wasn't a commentator he would be a heel manager.

Stephanie McMahon - just got all of the intangibles needed

Kevin Nash, he has a huge ego but he could (barring ego aside) be a great manager. Unlike old school managers he could take a punch and give some huge help via interference.

Eric Bischoff -super over as a heel - takes great bumps

Kelly Kelly - Could be a modern day mrs Elizabeth. Caution though she would overshadow a relatively new or unknown wrestler. She would would need to be paired with someone that can over come this

JBL - he's got the whole package as far as gimmick, mic work look ect
