Is AJ Lee the worst GM of all time?
To answer the headline to this story, no. The worst General Manager in history is Mike Adamle by a long shot. In the aftermath of AJ Lee’s shocking resignation on Monday Night Raw, however, it’s worth wondering where the now-former authority figure would rank among the most ineffective and eccentric leaders in the history of Monday night’s hottest show, including the likes of Eric Bischoff, “Mr. Excitement” John Laurinaitis and that notorious aforementioned mangler of monikers.
The reign of a Raw General Manager averages to about 205 days, and although that time period isn’t lengthy by any means, AJ Lee bowed out at 92 days — less than half the average. Granted, AJ’s all-too-brief tenure as GM has been fraught with peril since taking on these new responsibilities in July, but how many of those problems were the result of AJ’s own unhinged decision-making process? From attacking Vickie Guerrero to forcing Kane and her fiancĂ© Daniel Bryan to undergo anger management therapy to slapping Paul Heyman across the face, AJ has made business very personal on Raw, and the WWE Board of Directors has been keeping a very close eye on her for good reason.
It was AJ’s notorious inability to separate her business and personal lives that would ultimately spell the end of her reign as Raw GM. On Monday night, the feisty Diva — whom the WWE Board placed on probation in early October — announced that her self-ousting is due to allegations of fraternizing with a Superstar on the roster. (WATCH | PHOTOS)
That Superstar was later revealed to be John Cena, who recently had a “business dinner” with the Raw GM. Both AJ and the Cenation leader denied that anything salacious transpired during or after that meal, but Mr. McMahon affirmed that there was “incriminating evidence” that left the WWE Board with no choice but to ask AJ for her resignation. This conspicuous turn of events put Guerrero in place to serve as Raw’s Managing Supervisor, a role that will no doubt work in her favor when a new General Manager is ultimately appointed.
Coincidences are rare in WWE, especially when The Queen Diva is involved, but what if there was more to that dinner than AJ and Cena are letting on? If AJ’s fraternization with Cena went beyond a mere business dinner — while she was on probation, no less — then the title of “Worst GM Ever” just might have a new No. 1 contender. (POLL: WAS AJ LEE SET UP?)
Although it remains unclear exactly what transpired during that evening repast with the 12-time World Champion, the unorthodox Diva noted on Raw that she’s aware that she’s been on thin ice for quite some time. With AJ’s admission of her shortcomings, it’s difficult to blame her too harshly for not living up to the loftiest of expectations. She might not have made a major impact as Raw GM, but at least she never subjected the WWE Universe to so-called “People Power,” interrupted Raw broadcasts with incessant emails or waxed poetic about the likes of “MC Punk” or “Randy Norton.” Sorry, Mr. Adamle.
So what’s next for AJ? The unpredictable Diva explained on Raw that she’s gone “from being homeless to being the boss,” due in no small part to her lifelong tenacity. Now that AJ is no longer running Raw, her schedule has certainly opened up, and judging by her hair-pulling brawl with Raw’s new Managing Supervisor, her buttoned-up lifestyle has hardly hindered her fighting spirit. Perhaps the most exciting chapter of the AJ Lee saga is about to begin.\

Who Should Be The Undertaker's Wrestlemania 29 Opponent?
A report came out a short while ago that the WWE has three possible opponents for the Undertaker. They are: John Cena, The Rock and Brock Lesnar. The WWE is leaving the choice up to him on who he would like to face. The two people that he doesn't choose to face would then face each other at Wrestlemania.
These would all be good opponents for the Undertaker to face. All three are big names who would draw a lot of fans and excitement towards the match.
The Rock
A match up of The Rock vs. The Undertaker would be huge. It would be a throwback to the Attitude Era. For the fans like myself who grew up watching wrestling during the Attitude Era, this would be a welcomed match up. The Rock would be the biggest threat to his Wrestlemania streak that he has ever had. The Rock would bring his millions of fans and even more fans who love to see Attitude Era guys face each other back in front of their TV screens to watch wrestling even if it is just for a short time.
It would be a match up of two men who are great for different reasons. The Rock is superb on the mic. His mic skills are second to none. He's talented in the ring as well. As for the Undertaker, he fears no one. He's fought the best and he's beaten the best. He and Stone Cold Steve Austin are the two baddest men in WWE history. And you know that The Rock isn't going to back down from the Undertaker so you have a match up of two of the all time greats on the biggest stage of them all, Wrestlemania.
Brock Lesnar
This would be an intriguing match up because of the beef that these two had about 10 years ago. Lesnar had quite the attitude and with the Undertaker being a locker room leader, the two had several off the television arguments. Despite this these two had a great rivalry back in 2002/2003. These two are still capable of putting on a good match. The build up to this match could be fantastic especially since the WWE would have Lesnar on TV almost every week since most if his appearances would be used during the build up to Wrestlemania.
John Cena
This would be a match up of the WWE's number one man against The Phenom. The Undertaker and Cena haven't had many matches against each other. They haven't wrestled against each other since 2003. If this match up happened then it would be the first time that the Undertaker has faced the company's number one guy at Wrestlemania. It would be his biggest threat towards his Wrestlemania streak.
If there is anybody on the current roster that could end the Undertaker's Streak, it is Cena. A victory over the Undertaker at Wrestlemania would wipe the bad taste out of Cena's mouth after his loss to the Rock at Wrestlemania 28. The build up to this match would be huge because of the fan base that Cena has built up over the 10 years he has been in the WWE. His kid followers would flock to see if their hero could do something that nobody else has done before and that's beat the Undertaker at Wreslemania.
WWE SUMMARY ON WHO TO END THE DEADMAN'S STREAK
According to WWE board of directors, they say if there is any one who can be granted that opportunity to end the deadman's streak at Wrestlemania it should be the man who is more valuable to the company. The man who has stood there every night, the man who delivers all that he has got, the man who has carried WWE flag higher for many years. when i had that then my minds ran quickly to the 10time WWE champion John Cena, and yes no doudbt for that Cena has done it all and he should be the one to do it. But the question is when? Cena will be granted that opportunity the moment deadman will say he is done and he wants to leave wrestling, then Cena will be granted the opportunity to end the streak for deadman. It might not be wrestlemania29 but if there is someone to do it is John Cena. Reason Cena has always respected deadman, they are friends and deadman respects him too and he will not hesitate to do anything for John Cena. Reason deadman loves WWE as much as John Cena does. And they have worked together for a long time.

John Cena the Biggest Star WWE's Ever Had?
Next
Cena is believed to be the most talented superstar in the history which you cant take him away without cheating. Another way that you can win Cena in the ring is by script, without script you cant beat up Cena. He has proved it in many occasions, take a look at John Cena's match against Cm Punk. It is beleived that all the matches that punk has ever had with Cena they are all script for Punk to Win.
You can make the case that John Cena could be the biggest star WWE's ever had.
Yes he is, and no one can take that away from him.
John
Cena is the most talented “wrestler.” in WWE history. It's only part of the equation, but in this
interview I did with legend Dominic DeNucci, he talks about what it
takes to be a good in-ring performer, and to me, Cena has got everything a professional superstar needs to have.
John Cena, Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan.
Three names I think many, including myself, would agree represent
separate eras in WWE/WWF. Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan are the three names
that would most rival Cena in a debate for the title of WWE's biggest
star ever, in popular opinion.
Stone
Cold Steve Austin was the face of the attitude era. The pop he got when
the glass broke was incredible, with fans waiting to hear him drop an
expletive and give a stunner to anyone who came within reach. I've
always been a huge Austin fan. He was my favorite while he was an active
wrestler.
Right now, wrestling
has to compete against the legit appeal of Mixed Martial Arts. Chris
Benoit, concussions, kids getting hurt in their backyards – all black
marks critics, justifiably or unjustifiably, will quickly associate to
wrestling and WWE whenever they can. Stone Cold was the top guy in the
most profitable of times for the industry, but John Cena has sustained a
positive, charitable image in pop culture in the midst of many
challenges for the genre.
Stone
Cold had a lot of entertaining talent to work with during his run. He
also was involved in entertaining stories. Today, WWE isn't known for
developing the same kind of top notch talent or quality storylines – but
John Cena still became a star.
I'm
not going to deny Cena's had some ridiculous, heroic comebacks in
matches. I do believe in “Super Cena” at times. But remember, it's a
pre-determined fight, determined by those in power.
Then there's Hulk Hogan. He was
the man before there were men. By the way, if you're still held up from
the start of this piece on John Cena's in-ring abilities, go ahead and
try convincing yourself Hogan was a better “wrestler” than him. Let me
know how that works out for you.
Hogan
was the first to take an attraction like Andre The Giant off of his
feet and slam him. During the territory days, there were big fish in
smaller ponds, but Hogan became the biggest fish in the ocean the WWE
created. Reality shows and sex tapes can never erase his
accomplishments. Hogan was the first to do a lot of things in the sport
on a big stage. This is part of his allure. He was first.
Next
came Austin. The years 1980 to 2005 saw tremendous milestones and
evolution. Twenty-five years worth of trying to do something new,
creative, memorable. Hogan and Austin were involved in much of this.
To
me, it's all the more impressive that Cena has had to follow all of
that. He didn't have the luxury of being first to take a star who was
never seen on the defensive like Andre was and beat him in front of
93,000. Cena didn't have the luxury of being the first to hit his
finisher on the owner of a company. The list of things Cena wasn't able
to do first goes on and on. Through all of it, he has found a way to be
the polarizing figure he is to the audience.
Given
Hogan and Austin's status, logically we shouldn't be able to make a
decision on who is the greatest until Cena's active career as a wrestler
with WWE is over. Cena is 35, has years left in the tank, he is only
going to continue to draw money.
In wrestling, you aim to get a reaction. No reaction to what you say or do is the worst thing possible for an in-ring performer.
Great
accomplishment to be loved by so many. Great accomplishment to be hated
by so many. Is it the GREATEST accomplishment to be the most loved and
hated by the audience all at once?

Will CM Punk Be Suspended; My Thoughts, WWE Tag Tournament Outcome, McMahon Sends A Message
WWE is gathering all the information and we can confirm a police report was filed. Chris Jericho was suspended to save-face from negative publicity so it’s obviously a possibility. Had it been someone lower on the card, they could have faced termination. Given the fact it was Punk I don’t look for that to happen but I don’t see how he gets out of this one without facing repercussions.
What is your take on CM Punk striking the fan?
There is no excuse to ever get physical with a fan. We could try and make an argument that the fan “deserved it” but Punk assaulted the wrong fan. The one pestering him walked away unscathed while the tape shows an incident onlooker got struck and his glasses broke. However, I’m not going to put the blame completely on Punk, as event staff and security are at fault for not containing the crowd around Punk. It’s their job to keep the workers safe when they go into the crowd and they failed at that on Raw. With that being said workers have a responsibility to remain composed no matter what.
If the winners of the tag team tournament don’t win the WWE Tag Team Championship, will that make the entire competition pointless? Or is it very predictable they will win so to avoid such scrutiny?
Most readers seem to be happy with the renewed emphasis placed on the tag team division so I do not think a successful defense from Team Hell No renders the tournament pointless. Tournaments are fun for a change of pace and in this case, helped a division that has been forgot about in recent years.
With Vince McMahon giving up his body on this week’s WWE Raw for the good of the product, is this a signal to everyone else to “step it up”?
Lost in the CM Punk incident is the fact this week’s WWE Raw had an outstanding ending. Vince McMahon showed he can still get over as good as anyone on the roster, Ryback has turned the corner and drew great crowd reactions and I was entertained throughout the show’s main event. I absolutely think Vince was sending a message with his work and the fact he can use himself to increase interest is pretty remarkable in itself.
Remember questions with proper spelling and grammar have the best chance of being answered. The next installment of Ask WNW will run on Wednesday, October 10, 2012.
