It looks like they might be making a move to bring in more managers to WWE, with a possible return of James Mitchell.

Shows you how much impact Dutch Mantell has had. Heyman has really done nothing of note but Dutch took a completely bland guy who couldn't get any kind of reaction and got mainstream media attention with him.

Yeah, I just hope they don't go overboard and force managers on guys who don't need them. Like the Primetime Players, they don't need a manager, Titus is good on the mic, then they had "Unstoppable" Abraham Washington with them, and look how well that went.

Heyman makes perfect sense with Brock, but not with Punk. Punk can talk, Brock cannot and should not. He would be a good fit with The Shield as well.

Nah, I make more now than their downside guarantee would pay. Travel would probably be less and out of pocket, which would suck as well.

Nah, that was a traditional piledriver (or belly-to-back piledriver or Texas piledriver as some call it) which Punk used on Cena, not a cradle piledriver.

The match was great, but frankly the hurricanrana was poorly executed. Gotta give credit to Cena for using a move like that once in a blue moon, but as he's shown before, he isn't much good at performing it.

Some times, there are people who weren't major players in the business but can still be top notch trainers.
It's a shame I didn't jump on the opportunity years ago. Claudio / Antonio Cesaro was training people @ Chikara's school right before he was signed by the WWE, and Bryan Danielson trained people @ the ROH school in 2007.
