you saw a world champion in the wwe with a manager? it seems like they havent had any in a while. We need to have managers like bobby the brain who were known to have wrestlers as champs.

Last year actually.Mark henry was ecw champion and Tony Atlas was his manager.

I would love to see Vince McMahon or Shane or even Steph manage Orton or some up and comer like Rhodes,DiBiase or Morrison.

I actually think Shane would be a good manager for the MIZ.

They need to make a new corporation and make cm punk the corporate champ to be the face of the new "pg/straight edge" era.

Miz can talk he doesnt need a manager. Guys that would benefit from a manager are the Lesnar type guys. Kozlov or Ezekiel for example would be much better with a manager for some reason Vince doesnt want to use managers anymore just a diva to come to the ring with them which does nothing

The days of proper managers are sadly long gone in WWE & wrestling in general, Cherry could have been a really good one but they blew it with her. Look at Francine, probably the best manager to come along in the last 15 years & WWE only wanted her to wrestle.

Manager or Agent....it is really the same. I agree, they made one helluva team. The days of manager, handlers, agents...are pretty much long gone. I think the only time they will use it is because many of the managers are the mouth of the wrestlers cuz they haven't yet developed any mic skills.

Correct, BUT he wasn't refered to as Brock's manager, ever.

I'd love it if they brought back chickensh*t heel managers. I could see alot of potential for them today interfering in matches from the outside, cutting promo's that stir up fans and fans wanting to see them get owned by the face. It's too bad they're long gone. Too bad they're no more. And heel managers can be used as much more than a mouthpiece to get their man over. And they can manage heels who already have mic skills. Heenan managed Rude, Henning, Orndorff, Andre...okay bad joke there, and just about everyone I remember Jimmy managing (WWF days) could talk.

I appreciated them bringing in Atlas to elevate Henry. They were not awesome together or anything but it's something I was willing to take since I long for the days of managers/handlers.

Home made (1 scoop of protein, 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup frozen berries & 1 tbsp flax oil in milk) but my mouth is watering for an RTD Muscle Milk, banana cream flavored *drools*. Or some bourbon. Either one would be a real treat atm haha.

Do you plan to stay dry much longer?

I do for now. I have some dark rum but I'm not going to drink it anytime soon. I'll save it and just have plain Lime Coke or plain Pepsi Lime without the rum added. Oh yeah, and the diet version to both drinks. Of course. Always diet soda if any soda.

Oh yeah and ECW had great manager/wrestler combinations and their managers were both heel AND face. RIP Mike.

I've always thought that since Morrison is getting a push, and Morrison and Melina are back on the same brand again, that they should get back together (I think they started dating again anyway.)

I wouldn't mind being tied down to Melina as my one girl.
