Welcome to the latest edition of Joe's 411: B/R Pro Wrestling News. I have a lot to tell you, so let's get on with it.
RAW's New General Manager
If you saw RAW last night you saw that storyline RAW GM Vickie Guerrero has now resigned from her position. This actually came as a surprise, as management loved her heat with the fans and didn't mind keeping her around.
However, she has already given her notice to the WWE because she wants to spend more time with her family. She was paid very well while in the WWE, so she could just about be set for life.
There is a rumor going around that says she will be making a few more television appearances. So don't be surprised if she pops up on RAW next week. Regardless, she is leaving and not going to be back as RAW GM.
Many of the fans did not like her in the GM position and have complained about her for some time.
But as mentioned before, the WWE actually liked that because it gave her more heat, which is why she wasn't let go. And also because she was Eddie's wife, they do have a soft spot for her.
With a person like Mike Adamle, he wasn't liked since his first day. So when he got on ECW as an announcer and on RAW as the GM, the WWE Universe set out millions of posts criticizing him.
I was actually part of the first thread criticizing him as RAW GM on WWE Universe and I was personally happy we finally saw him leave.
That led us to Stephanie and Shane McMahon, who took things over until Stephanie became the full-time GM.
She was later hurt during the Orton rising which led to the aforementioned Guerrero taking her place. Now the question is, who will take Guerrero's place?
Take the location of next week's RAW as a clue.
It is in Charlotte, N.C.
Whose hometown is that again?
Oh that's right, Ric Flair's.
The WWE could not have planned this any better. They just signed Flair to a deal under which he will not officially wrestle. Vickie just left, and now they need a new GM right when they are going to Charlotte, NC.
What I am worried about is that the WWE will make Ric Flair seem stronger than Triple H. Triple H was punted in the head, and just came back after two months of being out. If Flair is brought back next week it will make it seem as if he is stronger than Triple H.
We all know Flair could not be stronger than Triple H realistically, especially at his age. But it's still possible we will see Flair come out next week and say he will be the new RAW GM.
Flair was asked to be the SmackDown GM a few months back by Stephanie McMahon. He turned it down to go and work in ROH as its Ambassador and did a little more work in some other places.
On top of that, his son Reid has gone through some tough times with drugs.
So he may have been too busy to be the SmackDown GM at the time. But it might be the right time for him now. He's also the only realistic fit.
Shane McMahon was taken out of action by Orton, so it looks like they didn't want him to be involved in the storyline for now.
