Completely agreed. Guest hosts is a terrible idea and even worse when coupled with the Secret GMs.
How is it worse?
Guest GMs apart from maybe 2 or three people were completely shit and detracted from the rest of the show.
Secret GM means that mimimum screen time is taken up by the GM which is a PLUS depending on your perspective.
There is NO combined effect.
I'm not a fan of secret GMs since it requires someone to read the EMails out to the general audience (Why not just make that person GM since he's reading the lines?).
So why did you bother ro agree with my post then?
The whole storyline behind the secret GM is he's afraid of the Nexus (So that instantly takes out people like McMahon (Who wasn't afraid when the GM was announced to be secret), Michaels, HHH and just about anyone except for Cole). I think the GM will be revealed once the Nexus has disbanded.
On the contrary, the on-screen absense of the GM was explained as him not wanting to be in the public eye.
