WWE and their Be A Star campaign (anti-bullying) - a very admirable one on the surface, but aren't WWE being just a bit hypocritical when you look at some storylines / characters they've put on TV or took the pee out of in the last ten years:

Matt Morgan's 'stutterer' gimmick
Jim Ross' Bells Palsy
Mickie 'Piggy' James
Vickie Guerrero being 'overweight'
Daniel Bryan's Vegan lifestyle making him a 'nerd'

Don't know how they have the cheek if you ask me. :NAUGHTY:


Please note: I realise that JR's condition is very real (not an angle, obviously), but I meant that it is something that they have recently took the pee out of, from the reports I read (I don't have Sky these days so rarely see their weekly TV shows).

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train

The Piggy James bit was apparently forced on her because she was causing trouble back-stage following the ending of her relationship with John Cena. That was also the reason she was moved from Raw to SD.

Only last week on Raw Vince was taking the mic out of JR's illness...... However, looking a the way JR gets treated it's no surprise. But the guy just keeps letting them get away with it.

The Jerry Lawler jokes about Vickie being fat were pretty disgusting. Also somewhat ironic as Lawler hardly has a rippling torso and washboard stomach.

Still wwe bring hypocritical is hardly something that should surprise.

Kenny Dykstra claiming that Cena was also involved with Victoria/Tara not long after he split with Mickie James. Funny how the 3 of them suddenly moved to Smackdown leaving just Cena on Raw...

It's been confirmed that the 1000 episode of Raw will be where the new GM for Raw and Smackdown will be named.

Hopefully it'll be someone who knows what this role should entail and that can get his point across to the creative team.

There should only be 3 candidates, in no particular order:

1] Paul Heyman
2] Ric Flair
3] William Regal

All of them can get over as face or heel, all of them are brilliant on the mic and all of them have had power roles before.

I'd love to see Regal get it, the guy is brilliant. He was great when he did it (or something similar) a few years ago and had Tajiri as his assistant.

Out of those, if we apply logic to what's happening on WWE tv at the moment, Paul Heyman should get the job. The WWE BoD step in and give him the job as part of the settlement for his "lawsuit" with HHH
