Heenan still is better today than most of the entire wrestling industry. (Even better than Fuji & Vice!)
I will say Vicki Guerrero is an amazing manager though. Makes me wish the WWE kept Armando Arnando Estrada.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

No manager has ever really gotten under my skin like Guerrerro... But I agree that Heenan was, and still is, the greatest!

Bobby Heenan is the all time greatest! Both as a manager and commentator, the man is a genuis! There will never be another commentating duo like Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan, enough said.

I can't stand Vicki Guerrerro. I don't understand why the WWE decided it was a good idea to bring her on board after Eddie died. I can't buy into her character at all, it's just HORRIBLE! She just doesn't fit into wrestling imo.
I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

Same here. I can't stand the woman either. She's grates on you with her nails on a chalkboard voice, and she's about as attractive as a drunk Roseanne. And that's not heat, that's genuine hatred of the woman. I don't want to see her get beat-up, I just plain don't want to see her.

Vickie is awesome. She draws heat better than most guys on the roster and she's willing to do any ridiculous thing they ask of her. She follows in that great tradition of ladies like Sherie, Stephanie and Lita as those ladies that the crowd loves to hate. The fact that she doesn't fit the usual physical appearance criteria of ladies in the WWE and has still become a major part of the company is wonderful. I want to see more of that. I want to see Karma back ASAP.

Her and Cole BOTH need to be in the manager role. I love the WWE right now because they are clearly listening to the internet crowd. People have been begging for her and Cole in the manager role and we're seeing it with her and they're even doing an interesting angle now with her, Swagger and Dolph. I just don't get why Cole is still in the booth. He's not accomplishing anything there other than getting in JR's way. Plus, sometimes Cole is a little too good at tearing down Lawler and Booker T. That's not a good thing. Their flaws as announcers show enough without Cole pointing them out even more

Also, it's not related to her performance as a character, but seeing that weight loss makes me respect Vickie. It's not something she was asked to do, she simply chose to. It takes hard work to drop all those pounds.

If WWE really knew what they were doing, they'd have made Dolph world champion with Vickie at his side. The amount of heat those two would draw with the belt in their posession would be immense. Having a heel champ with a heel female to draw even more heat works well enough. They've done it with Triple H/Steph and Edge/Lita. Both of them can cut decent promos too. Dolph is great in the ring and would be even more dominant with Vickie interfing in his matches. Did you see the awesome match he had with Orton a week ago? Dolph is awesome! I wish I was booking Raw and Smackdown

Agreed 1008%. Jessie was pretty funny when he was on the mic, I have to say. Not quite as good as Bobby, but definitely up there!

You guys just demonstrated WHY she is awesome. Perfect heel manager!

^ Except the part where I specifically said it's not heat, it's genuine hatred. Heat is when you want to see someone get the crap beaten out of them. I on the other hand don't want to see or hear her in any capacity, including not wanting to see her get beat up.
