For years whenever a niche fanatic wants one of their favorites to get pushed, and someone rightfully points out that they shouldn’t due to a lack of mic skills, they suggest that they could give them a manager to hide this.
This has never ever worked.
People cite Bobby The Brain Heenan as an example, yet every major draw he managed could talk on the mic:
-Rick Rude
-Mr.Perfect
-Ric Flair
-Andre the Giant
-King Kong Bundy
-Paul Orndorff
If someone couldn’t talk on the mic, like Ken Patera, Bobby Heenan couldn’t help them.
Same deal with Paul Heyman, he has mic skills, yet never ever got anyone who didn’t have mic skills over.
-Brock Lesnar first run 2002-2004 wasn’t a major draw, ratings declined with him as FOTC, didn’t become a draw until 2002, WWE actually improved upon his departure with rise of Cena & Batista.
-Curtis Axel, Paul talking didn’t change his lack of mic skills didn’t get over.
-Cesaro, Paul talking didnt change his lack of mic skills didn’t get over.
Having a specific manager is supposed to add the to specific character or storyline, it’s not intended to be used to hide the fact that a performer lacks mic skill/talent.
