WWE: 10 Questions You Most Want Answered (May 24)

1. Ric Flair As A Manager

From @C17Swampy: Who would benefit from having Ric Flair as a manager the most?
Before I answer this one, there is something to be concerned about with Flair managing somebody. One of the things that the manager has to do is step aside at times because the spotlight should be on the guy performing in the ring. If the manager is too over the top, demonstrative and outgoing then it's going to hurt their wrestler. Guys like Heyman and Colter are both very good talkers, but they don't steal the attention away. Heyman will always put over the guy he's managing. That's why he's the best. Flair is somebody that has been in the spotlight for the past 40 years. He was the champion, the top draw, the man celebrated as arguably the best wrestler ever and now at 65 years old maybe he realizes it's time for him to put somebody else over using his expertise. The person that would benefit from Flair the most is Dolph Ziggler. The only reason I say that is because Ziggler has been booked by such a loser for the past year that Flair's presence will help him. It can be a way for WWE to give the character new life by having Flair try to guide his career. Ziggler's had managers before and he was successful with them. It would be better if Ziggler was a heel for it, but fans aren't going to want to boo Flair so if it keeps Ziggler face then that's okay too. It would be wrong to have Flair manage Miz again. That just didn't work. If anything, what they should do is have Miz blame Flair to steering his career the wrong way and use that to turn Miz heel. Then whoever Flair is managing could feud with him. That's a storyline that would work.
