Last Monday, WWE removed Mick Foley from his role as the general manager of Monday Night Raw, and while they’re not expected to fill that vacancy on tonight’s show, they’ll probably do so at some point in the near future, possibly at the Raw following this Sunday’s WrestleMania.
So, who will the new general manager be? Most are predicting it’ll be Kurt Angle. But, could it end up being Eric Bischoff?
On Sunday’s Live Audio Wrestling podcast, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter said that, while he expects the new Raw GM to end up being Kurt Angle, he’s not ruling out Eric Bischoff for the role.
“I think Eric Bischoff is a great TV character. The key is, he’s been off of WWE TV for so long that it’s, I mean, he’s older, but it’s new now. But it’s not like ‘oh god, Eric Bischoff again?’ He was on TNA years ago, and he was good on TNA, but it wasn’t the right fit at that time. But now, it’s new, and he’s a good talker, and he’s got that authority thing going. I don’t expect it, but if I was in there in the war room, and somebody said ‘hey, let’s do this.’ I would say ‘yeah, let’s do it.’ But there’s other candidates. I have a feeling that the Raw guy is gonna end up being Kurt [Angle], but I know that for sure.”
