#7 – What the Raw General Manager Thinks
The Great One made his long-awaited return to WWE in February 2011, announced as the guest host of WrestleMania XXVII. With an electric crowd in the palm of his hand, Rock called out everyone from John Cena to The Miz to Michael Cole, then the most hated men in pro wrestling.
Watching back this skit, I had completely forgottena bout the Anonymous Raw General Manager. If you managed to escape this period of WWE programming, instead of choosing a real on-screen presence to control the weekly flow of Raw, it was decided that all decisions would be made by an anonymous figure behind the scenes, sent in to a laptop on a podium, delivered to the WWE Universe by Michael Cole. So you can image how well-received the idea was…
When the classic GM “ping” sounded in the middle of The Rock’s welcome back rant, the moment the fans had been waiting for would finally arrive.
