Well that's why I'm rooting for him to get future endeavored too.

It's sort of like,
Priest: "And this offends you as a Jew?"
Seinfeld: "No, it offends me as a comedian."

He should be future endeavored due to lack of entertainment value, beyond undoubtedly offending sponsors and potential sponsors as well through sheer idiocy.

If we started future endeavoring people in the E for lack of entertainment value, Cena would've been cut years ago.

That clearly isn't true for the masses.

AW gets zero reaction from anyone ever. In fact, telling a rape joke on live TV was the only thing that could possibly get us talking about him.

This.

Wtf Lebron joke? Total waste of time and space. His gimmick didn't even make sense and he was horrible at it to boot.

Yeah that part confuses me too. The LeBron joke was presumably also going to be that he was unstoppable? And the fact that LeBron just won a championship was his reason for NOT using that...?

My point is... What has he ever done to deserve a spot on the main roster?

This joke should have been his death nail.

The expression is "death knell"
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/death+knell

But yeah, the only reason he has been kept around is he has good mic work, but he has yet to show it on the main roster and that joke was just ridiculously dumb and proves him as a liability. Im sure Linda's campaign manager will be on the case soon though.

smart booking tho is obviously to allow punk to run as heel champ and see how over he can get, and leave rumble decisions til much closer to the date

If Punk is really really over come the Rumble then they will likely tear up the entire booking sheet for WM and rewrite it. Rock vs Cena doesnt need the WWE title so changing the plan is likely in such circumstances. In any case time will tell.

Who knows, maybe we will get Rock vs Punk at WM instead of the current plan. Its all down to crowd reactions ldo.

So who gets the Smackdown GM gig? Regal? I don't really think they're going back to Teddy Long, and since AJ seems to be playing babyface on Raw, I have to think the odds favor it being a heel. I suppose they could go the Eve Torres route and have dueling female GMs.

But fwiw i think Aksana is the choice they would go for if its about having two female GMs. Aksana favouring Castagnoli while AJ punishes Bryan has a really interesting two sides of a coin feel to it.

Cole seems possible to me. So do my guesses. Vickie does too, to an extent. Can't imagine Aksana being it. Obviously AW was a joke.

One more possibility that hasn't been discussed yet, which appears to have gotten a lot stronger per a rumor posted a few minutes ago:

I would like it to be Ric Flair. Doubt it, though.

I hope Flair never earns another pay cheque in the industry outside of meet and greet autograph sessions in local malls and juggalo events.

He also was megabusto in real life IIRC. So he probably needed to suckle the McMahon teat even if it meant Vince n-bombing him on national tv.

For what it's worth in his first three years (2001-2003) he went 5-16 in PPV matches, pretty much never winning a match of importance. He deserves credit for persevering through that treatment.
