There is a new trend that I'm enjoying in the WWE right now. Managers are making their return. I, for one, love this trend. I never used to like managers because I loved the wrestling aspect of WWE, but now I love these people. Look at the managers and who they are managing.
Paul Heyman-CM Punk: The most successful manager-superstar combo that is currently out here. Now CM Punk definitely doesn't need Heyman, nor the other way around, but this combo is, IMO, making CM Punk bigger and bigger every day. I'm not saying he's John Cena by any means, but I'm seeing parallels between CM Punk and Stone Cold.
AJ Lee-Dolph Ziggler: I don't know if A.J. should be considered a manager, but for all intents and purposes...these two, and I may get some negative feedback on this, remind me a lot of Lita-Edge. I think A.J. is overall making Ziggler a bigger draw. I think Ziggler plays a great heel, despite the whole fact that I was one of the strongest "Ziggler should be face" advocators for awhile. I think this pairing is really solid.
Jack Swagger-Zeb Coulter: Oh. My. Gosh. I love this pairing and it's been a day. This might have the potential to be a ridiculously good manager-superstar combo for the forseeable future. Zeb seems to be the most ridiculous redneck ever, but the guy seems to be a genius! Plus it gives WWE an excuse not to put Swagger on the mic. I love this pairing.
Managers seem to be increasing where they're needed. What do you guys think?
Questions to discuss:
1) Managers- Good thing or bad thing?
2) Who do you think would benefit from a good manager?
3) Do you think managers are here to stay?
And anything else that relates.
