VIEW THE FULL VERSION : WWE: Who's this anonymous GM?

Anyone have any guesses? Without talking about or looking up spoilers ;)

When it was first announced I first thought "Stone Cold" but after this past week when they teased about it being SC, I highly doubt it. Probably wishful thinking on my part anyways. I don't really have any more guesses as I rarely watch WWE nowadays. I started to again when DX came back and stopped watching as much after Shawn retired. I'll watch a little bit of each show but not a whole lot.

Interesting to note, last week they did say "The anonymous GM Micheal Cole has an email", that might have been a tease, though, and done on purpose. Who knows :dunno:

If it's not Austin, it has to be a heel. Or the Rock. A no-name like Washington makes no sense and would be a big mistake.

My guess: JBL.

My first thought is they should discontinue this ASAP. I get a knot in my gut every time that sound hits.

However, if they are to continue, they should draw it out using the same idea they used this week, only with different guys. All the hints this week pointed to SCSA, so this week, use a diferent guy's catch-phrases. Mix them up weekly to keep everyone on their toes; Then in 6-9 weeks, announce that Eugene (the one guy who'd know all the catch-phrases) is the anonymous GM. :D

From JR's blog regarding Austin being teased as the GM

http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_42395.shtml

" Ross said he had dinner with Steve Austin last Friday and the topic of Raw GM never came up. With WWE trying to tease Austin could be the GM on Monday's Raw, Ross quipped he should have hitched his wagon to Austin to get back on TV.

"I have no clue as to who will end up being revealed as the Raw GM but I'm enjoying the mystery," Ross said. "I think that when its finally revealed that we will all likely be surprised, perhaps shocked, and it might not be who many of us have on our own list of viable candidates."

Probably someone like Vince, Stephanie or maybe that's how they'll write HHH back into the storylines. HHH wouldn't make much sense but it is WWE after all.

Other names I wouldn't mind being GM: Austin, Rock, Piper, Million Dollar Man, Shane(highly unlikely considering he left, but still), Regal and the most unlikely option, HBK.

That would be a huge disappointment. I had to Google him only because I've never heard of him, that shows how bad of an idea that would be.

It has to be a big name, or else the WWE shouldn't even bother with this whole gimmick.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is the Rock if he makes a return to the WWE, but I'd figure most people who think that it is or should be the Rock believe so due to timing. If he is going to return, they can play this out until he does. If he doesn't, well they can spin it to anyone.

I'm hoping for the rock

But somebody mentioned Eugene because his character mimicked alot of the wrestlers. It makes some sense when you look at it that way but man, that would be a huge disappointment.

OTOH, if it really was Eugene, they would have spilled the beans by now. Since they are dragging this, the fans expect more and the WWE knows that. I'm prepared for something big... like rock big. Otherwise, there is no way of living up to the increasing hype that is being created by the week.

I think it will be The Rock, but he will turn out to be a heel.

Can The Rock actually be a heel anymore though? Austin clearly can't and it'd be for the best if the people hated the new G.M.

The best idea is for Micheal Cole to be the G.M... the heat he is getting just from the way he starts reading each e-mail gives good reason to make him the Nexus leader.

He was also the 1st to announce they were going to be called the Nexus.

It would also make sense with the Danielson angle since they hated eachother and then they kicked Danielson out and make him return as a face possibly.

He can show he had some button placed under/at the booth to make the noise and call the fans idiots, etc.

Cole would be an excellent choice.

If its some old FCW/ECW guy they will have failed big time, and they'd know it when he comes out to crickets.

It has to be Jericho. Remember when he said to Bret Hart " you don't want me as an enemy". He wants to take care of his "protogé" Wade Barrett, explaining why Cena gets thrown under the bus all the time.

Everyone keeps talking The Rock or Eugene or that Abraham Washington character, but I think there's one guy who is a natural fit for the role and he was already a guest host on RAW - Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Think of it like this. He hates McMahon. The Nexus attack on McMahon totally fits something Jesse would condone. As well, Ventura called Cena a corporate creation and Nexus would be the perfect group to destroy the corporate creation. And, it's not as if the GM is a true heel. He's a tweener. While Ventura was a heel in his career, he was also a tweener as an announcer. In fact, you could say that Jesse was the "Stone Cold" of announcers before "Stone Cold" became the hottest thing in the industry. Anyways, I guess I'm just an old school guy hoping that someone old school takes the role. He'd certainly be a breath of fresh air to the product and would push the envelope while not crossing the PG rating.

I don't see how the Rock works because if it was the Rock the audience would be demanding that he got in the ring. He's not old and worn down enough and so if he was to feud with anyone as the GM it would seem silly for the Rock to not just get in the ring and start shining up objects real nice and shoving them up peoples candy *****. I dunno I just have a hard time picturing the Rock not being involved physically.

With Bret it was all good because people could accept that he was a shell of his former self.

I think it would culminate in a match at Summer Slam. Cena's always wanted to go one on one with the great one.

There are rumors that they're going to take a top superstar and turn them heel to put with the Nexus. Two choices are being talked about, Triple H, but they feel they'll have a hard time with him coming back, people will naturally wanna cheer. And, wait for it...........John Cena.

they could definitely turn cena heel. i honestly they were going to a few months ago when he tied batista to the ring post. it was such a BS way for a face superstar to win a match, and i thought they were gonna label him into the cheapshot role, thus heel cena. but if they do turn him, it would be catastrophic for the company i would think. cena is basically his own brand, the guy is a cash cow as a face.

If Hogan can be turned heel, then Super Cena could be turned heel.

In fact, as a heel, I like the idea of him referring to himself as Super Cena, much like how Hogan was "renamed" Hollywood Hogan.

Cena would be the best heel in the business because most of the older fans actually like the heels and the kids/women just really follow what occurs by WWE standards.

So, Cena will be hated not only by the older fans but by the women/children, which will make it epic.

If I remember correctly, Hogan's character was turning stale and the fans weren't reacting to him the way they used to. It was a new era where good was bad. The fans were evolving. This is why Hogan turned heel.

Cena's character might drive us all crazy, but he's a money machine for the company. Until that changes, there's no way I imagine cena becomes a heel. He's got to keep the kids happy to keep the registers ringing.

you forgot the :sarcasm:

Kurt Angle was huge before he left too and I am sure TNA thought getting him would give them a huge push in rating too. and to be fair he did at first but TNA is just WCW v2.0 and will continue to be second best no matter who they get, Cena included. Just look at the first head to head battle TNA had with WWE when they tried monday night. They had a lot of 'stars' show up and while it worked for that first night to some success WWE killed them over the next few weeks so badly TNA had to stop showing on Mondays. John Cena is not going to change anything. John Cena going to TNA would be like Bret Hart when he went to WCW or Goldberg in WWE. Used for a short time but then totally mismanaged. Heck even Kurt right now is in a pretty lame story-line and he was supposed to be the face of TNA. the guy to turn it around and look how that turned out. If Cena suddenly jumped to TNA they would get good rating for about a month then it would be business as normal.

and for the record I personally believe Angle >>>>>>>Cena is every aspect. It is just too bad he is in TNA.

I don't see it being Triple H since he's (supposedly) out with injuries.

The undisclosed operation that Triple H underwent this week was to repair a torn muscle tendon in his arm. Though he had been plagued recently by issues with both surgically-repaired quads and his neck, this is a new injury that may have been suffered while filming one of his two upcoming WWE Films. His planned SummerSlam return bout against Sheamus is likely out the window now as he is expected out for several months.

Triple H was last seen on television being put out of action by Sheamus at the “Extreme Rules” pay-per-view in April where he lost a hellacious streetfight to the Celtic Warrior.

I don't watch tna and I'm not here to argue... but they're all old men.

Maybe so, but those "old men" are the ones who made wrestling what it is today...

You sound like one of those Nexus punks, with no respect for the ones who paved the way.

i'm hoping that it's the rock, because i would love it if he went back into wrestling, not movies. i wouldn't mind hhh if he's the one leading nexus. im not a big fan of hbk, but he wouldn't be too bad.

you forgot the :sarcasm:

Kurt Angle was huge before he left too and I am sure TNA thought getting him would give them a huge push in rating too. and to be fair he did at first but TNA is just WCW v2.0 and will continue to be second best no matter who they get, Cena included. Just look at the first head to head battle TNA had with WWE when they tried monday night. They had a lot of 'stars' show up and while it worked for that first night to some success WWE killed them over the next few weeks so badly TNA had to stop showing on Mondays. John Cena is not going to change anything. John Cena going to TNA would be like Bret Hart when he went to WCW or Goldberg in WWE. Used for a short time but then totally mismanaged. Heck even Kurt right now is in a pretty lame story-line and he was supposed to be the face of TNA. the guy to turn it around and look how that turned out. If Cena suddenly jumped to TNA they would get good rating for about a month then it would be business as normal.

and for the record I personally believe Angle >>>>>>>Cena is every aspect. It is just too bad he is in TNA.

Cena wouldn't get mismanaged in TNA, he would get exposed for the joke that he is, his 5 moves wouldn't hold up in TNA. What is wrong with the storyline Kurt has at the moment? He's trying to take out everyone in the top 10 before winning the title, oh no what a terrible storyline Kurt trying to prove he is better than everyone and heaven forbid a storyline leads to great match after great match. AJ is "the face of TNA" at this point, not Kurt, but Kurt is still "the man" and he is treated as such.

and it isn't "too bad he is in TNA" at all because if he was anywhere but TNA or somewhere else when he can work only rarely then he would probably die, instead the real Kurt Angle fans get to enjoy him putting on great matches in TNA rather than exhausting his already messed up body to put on multiple matches a week with scrub in ring performers.

I agree with what you said about Cena. My issue with Kurt's current storyline is that it is Goldberg V2.0. it has been done before many times. True it is not as blown overboard as Goldberg with 5067 and 0 and the matches are like you said great matches and not 5 second squash matches but still a very similar idea. besides the whole how "long can he go undefeated" storyline is one of the most used in wrestling. In fact Kurts original WWE run started out with that that. And it is too bad he is in TNA because I love him as a wrestler (he is the man) but I really do not like TNA. But I agree if he was in WWE he would 'probably die'. :(

It's not really a simple "how long can he go undefeated" or even really similar to Goldberg's undefeated run. Goldberg was an unstoppable force racking up wins, Kurt's just challenging himself to go through the whole top 10. When they brought in the whole top 10 ranking system they put Kurt at number 2 but then he refused and wanted to prove himself by earning his way up to the top. When he cut the promo about it the story was that he had already done everything in the business and so this was a new way to challenge himself. I think it's pretty bad ass how someone will be cutting a promo and then Kurt rolls out in his suit and cuts his promo of how they are next in his path etc and then leaves. It's a pretty good way to keep him out of the World title scene for awhile without everyone getting angry that he isn't in the title scene though.

I'm no Nexus fan lol. But I don't watch a fake wrestling product just how I am. WWE only.

Triple H is out with injuries/underwent surgery.
People should really start reading posts carefully before they predict things, lol.

It's not going to be HBK. Supposedly he is completely happy being away from wrestling and isn't he doing his own show of some kind?

If this was about me then please don't make a post about me and act like I don't know something it's ignorant because I know HHH is injured dude. So just because HHH is injured means he can't be gm and I can't predict it? People should really start reading posts carefully before they predict things, lol. It wasn't even a prediction lol I just said it could happen don't be surprised if it does.

Fair point.

He's more than capable of being the mouthpiece to handle the GM role and NXT leader. He can do his thing on screen, do rehab and get healthy in the meantime and return to the ring when ready. You may be right and it's not as far fetched like some may think

So Triple H, The guy who's married to the boss' daughter, who defended said boss before being "retired" by shameus is gonna come back to run the show from the sidelines and not do a damn thing to shameus?, Not happening.
