The Manager...

**Maluco** · 05-01-2013, 02:00 PM

Was thinking about this topic while watching Raw, and realising how much I am enjoying Zeb Coulter. His reactions to things that are happening around him are great and he carries himself as this harmless older guy, even down to the way he walks and looks around nervously. That is, until it's time for a cheap shot. Think he deserves great credit for making Swagger look so much more legitimate just by being his mouthpiece and giving him a purpose.

Obv we can also talk about Heyman with both Punk and Lesnar and how he has helped them.

I am liking the posse round Dolph as well because it gives legitimate obstacles that people need to get past to beat him. I know people suggest that it makes him look weaker, but I think it makes for a unique chracter and situation.

Ricardo Rodriguez def helps ADR as a face too because he is so likeable and humorous.

My thoughts on this were really about managers in general though. I really see other opportunities for managers enhancing other talents and bringing them to the next level. I remember Bobby Heenan in the past and Jim Cornette and they really knew how to cover for weaknesses and add both heat to their guys and tension to big matches.

Who do you think, in today's landscape, could really do with a manager, and who would you stick with him and why? Any interesting characters you see potential for?

Can anyone think of any agents or anything that could come in like Zeb and make a difference to anyone?

Would anyone add any superstars to either Zeb or Heyman to give them the rub that they needed?
