8 Ruthless Decisions WWE Need To Make Right Now

1. Remove Kurt Angle As Raw GM

When he's not being penned as a verbal punching bag for tyrannical ice queens like Stephanie McMahon, Kurt Angle is tripping over his words in carefully-scripted promos or sweating profusely in stock backstage segments. It's upsetting to see such a legend (and one time wrestling machine) look so ponderous in his current role.

He might be better off away from the pressurised scripting of WWE's promo style and more effective as a (very) limited part-time wrestler who can work the old 'Taker schedule by popping up around WrestleMania season for a major feud.

Whatever WWE might have in mind for him afterwards, Angle has to go as Raw GM.

It'd be nice if the company gave the authority figure routine a rest for a while, but as that's never going to happen they could do worse than give someone new a chance as General Manager. Baron Corbin is a logical choice, for example. He'd be able to find his feet as a promo man better than ever before in regular segments, and it'd make sense for Steph to undermine Angle on his way out by replacing him with a comparative rookie.
