10 Wrestlers Who Would Have Made Better Managers

Road Dogg may well have been one of the company’s more popular characters during the crazy days of the Attitude Era—which is no mean feat at all. That being said, though, how many excellent Road Dogg matches can you remember off the top of your head?

My guess is not very many, and that’s not necessarily because he wasn’t proficient in the ring; it’s just that he was downright excellent with the microphone in hand.

His pre-match tirades, spawning some awesome one-liners along the way, were basically laying the foundations for the likes of Enzo Amore in the modern era. Admit it, you’ve probably joined in with his “ladies and gentleman, boys and girls…” spiel even when watching at home. I know I’m fairly embarrassed to concede that I have.

Again, all of this points towards a more managerial role. In fact, I’m struggling to think of too many hype men that I’d rather have announcing me to the ring. Aside from Mr. Heyman, of course.

Obviously his career in D-Generation X reached some pretty lofty heights, but I think there’d have been plenty more longevity in the D-O-Double-G if he’d made a more permanent move to mic duties.
