This week John Pollock was lamenting the fact that there aren't any more good managers/GMs in the world of wrestling anymore. He specifically cited Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff as two examples from a bygone era.
It got me thinking…. are there any other good talkers out there who aren't active wrestlers?
Anyone you can think of please post so that we can further this discussion.

Some that I thought of:
1) Karen Jarrett - Whether she would ever find her way into the WWE is highly unlikely, but I rate her quite highly, actually.
2) Maria Kannellis - Highly underrated IMO.
3) Corey Graves - I have to admit I don't know much about him, but from what I've seen I think he could be a good candidate too.

I actually really like Prince Nana. Surprised WWE has never decided to give him a shot

Veda Scott. She is an active wrestler but ROH has dabbled with her as a manager. I think she's great, one of my favourites all round.
I also do really like Maria as a manager, think she added a ton to Mike Bennett when they were put together on TV in ROH.

Joey Styles is someone.
Renee Young would be fun, likely as a babyface GM for SmackDown.
Assuming Stephanie and her GM draft Rollins #1, it would make sense for Shane and Renee to draft Ambrose #2.
If they end up using a controversial finish at BG to create another belt, something with Renee/Ambrose dating could be used in storyline by Rollins to feed the controversy angle.

Rollins vs Ambrose - Winner gets the services of Renee for 30 days. Last time WWE tried something like this in '97 it ended up... oh, forget about it.

No love for Test/Scott Steiner fighting for Stacey Keibler in 03? Don't forget the Terri Invitational Tournament! Speaking of which, Jerry Lawler's commentary almost ruins (for me) the outstanding ladder match between the Hardys and Edge/Christian in the tournament final at No Mercy 1999. Those four guys are killing themselves and he won't shut up about "Terri's services". Though I'm sure that's not a surprise for those of you that didn't tune out like I did during parts of the Attitude Era. |

The Jerry Lawler commentary evolution:
Talked a little bit about sex during matches ---> Talked a lot about sex during matches ----> Talked less about sex during matches than he once did during in the Attitude Era.
