TNA's managers

[chessarmy]

I just wanted to evaluate some of TNA's managers and tell you guys if I think they are completely useless, or if they are great. Some may think, "well...they are just managers chessy!" and to that I say, managers are actually a very important part of wrestling. They can help someone get elevated to main event level, or they just be there for the sake of getting a paycheck. Here is what I think of the current TNA managers:

Raisha Saeed: Useless, she does a terrible Arab accent and she can't cut a promo to save her life. She does nothing for Awesome Kong's character, either change her to Cheerleader Melissa or give her the boot

Ms. Jackie Moore: Another useless manager, both James Storm and Robert Roode can cut promos by themselves, they don't need a mouth piece. I'd let Jackie wrestle in the Knockouts division where she belongs

Kip James: As much as you people want to hate on Kip, I think his current character fits in with the beautiful people perfectly. Sure, its still Kip James but the fact is the guy is under contract with TNA, so he needs to get a paycheck somehow.

Sharmell: Get her off my TV screen, she does absolutely nothing for Booker T and is just annoying

Hector Guerrero: I like Hector, contrary to what many people think, he CAN cut a great promo and I'm glad he is finally paired up with LAX

Salinas: I don't have a problem with Salinas. She goes out there to look good and she does a good job doing it, a VERY good job

Christy Hemme: She is an essential part of the Rock and Rave Infection. Even though I would rather see this tag team split, I think Christy does a great job with the rocker gimmick. She is a decent wrestler, but I think she is better at managing for right now.

Frank Trigg: It looks like he could become the full time manager for Kurt Angle. This could be good, even though Kurt doesn't need a manager I do think Frank is ok on the mic, and he could help Kurt during his promos and matches.

Rhaka Kahn: Completely useless, she can't talk, she sure as hell can't wrestle, and she looks like a man. :thumbdown:

So, there you go. If James Mitchell was still in TNA I would have talked about how great he is, but unfortunately he's gone. I think I covered everyone, if I did miss someone then just tell me and I'll edit it into the post. I do think that some of the useless managers are there just so they can interfere in matches, so I guess that is a valid excuse for some of the completely useless ones like Kahn, Saeed, and Jackie.

Thoughts?

So let me get this straight Jackie brings nothing to her role despite the fact that she helps Roode and Storm actually do something in their match to win, thus making them more heel.

But Salinas, Christy Hemme and Frank Trigg are useful?

Salinas is useful because she -looks- good, wow you woke up with your wrong brains today, you know the lower ones.

^ At the end I did say that a lot of the useless managers are basically just there to interfere in matches.

Christy Hemme adds something to the Rock and Rave Infection, she has the rocker gimmick down and every time Rave and Hoyt come out, she does that "you are looking at the Rock and Rave infeectiiooooon!!" thing

Frank Trigg can at least help during Kurt Angle's promos since the guy can talk. As for Salinas, well..I guess I can see why you disagree there, but she does do a great job of looking good lol

I think Jacqueline does a great job of making Roode and Storm more heel and why she isn't essential she is far more essential to Beer Money imo than Salinas to LAX or Frank Trigg to Angle. I think Christy Hemme is useful though to an extent.

i agree with you on most things but Salinas looking good doesnt make her useful, it just makes a minority of people like the LAX, but i guess that helps and yes, Jackie should wrestle in the Knockouts division

I hate Melissa's gimmick in TNA, the funny thing is she is one of the most gifted female wrestlers about today. i watched Shimmer Vol 16 and loved her match with kong that fued on TNA as the cheerleader would be gold

I agree with you, alot of these new managers suck. What they need to do is bring back some older managers like Paul Baror for Aybass and Jimmy Hart to manager some of the younger wrestlers like Matt Morgan. Lets bring Roddy Roddy Piper in to be the figure head of wrestling for TNA and put Jim Cornet back into managering. He could manage the Motor City Machine Guns.
