Isn't it about time we had Regal for Manager of RAW again?

NEVER!!! I'd rather see Paul Heyman come back and be Co-GM with Vickie Guerrero than see Regal come back as GM. He's better as a wrestler than a GM. It's a little cliche, but there are times when one should not quit their day job.


Ugh! But he's much better as a dark and brooding GM than some idiot who just dresses as a pirate as his gimmick. Granted its a little better since he came back from his..er..enforced absence last year but he really did blow it as he got caught in the middle of a big storyline with some of the big names so in a way its all his fault really..

..still, like I said, its better than his "upper class Brit with a lower class Lancastrian accent" gimmick (was it a even a gimmick?) when he first came into the WWE...
I honestly did not like the character they had Regal play as a GM. And I seriously question whether or not he would make a good GM. I say just let him wrestle and give him a title. Choosing his own character or being told what to play, he's got the wrestling skills, and I say he should be allowed to use them. Sure, there was no saying he couldn't be a GM and actually wrestle at the same time, but like I said, cliche'd line or not, there are times when one should not quit their day job. Such as it is for anyone employed by WWE these days, but still...

Cost Cutting
On January 9, 2009, WWE announced that it was going to be cutting 10% of its staff across the board as part of an effort to cut $20 million in costs. The layoffs included eight members of the WWE wrestling roster, an unknown number of backstage agents and producers, and four referees. They also closed their offices in Asia and Australia.


-Wikipedia

Is that the reason, why they fired J.B.L., Mr. Kennedy, Umaga?

cost cutting?

JBL opted not to resign with WWE but is on good terms. Kennedy got fired, I think, because he's injury prone and has some personality conflicts backstage. The latest I read on Umaga is that he was in hot water for his first strike against the Wellness Policy.

Trump as an owner is just a storyline. Trump and Vince are good friends.

I happened to catch the show last night up to the point where Vince bought back Raw from Trump. Twice what Trump paid LoL. But from what you all say that's 200% of zero. But I guess the ticket refunds are real money.

I heard Donald Trump buying Raw, that whole story was naught but a prank on the fans played by the WWE, and Vince just asked The Donald to play along. No money changed hands that I know of.
