    to be honest i dont think a legend is needed to fill the JJ Dillon role as it was put because as Rovert says they are all decent on the mic, just that if someone was used i wouldent pic Flair (even if he did still work for the company) as it wanna emphasise this is a new group. The fact that Deuce has been off the air so long yet was drafted and unlike Domino not release is also what makes me think they are currently working on him before debuting a new character and the JS Jr role would make sense considering the rumoured next generation stable from a while back.

    Yeah, it wouldnt make sense for Priceless to be hanging around with an old foggey.

    The only reasons you have manager is either talk or bump for a wrestler.

    Bad.

    Priceless, Orton & Batista can all talk for themselves.

    I'll reserve judgement on Priceless as they haven't really cut that many promos yet, though they seem like they'll be decent in time. As for Orton, he's pretty poor on a live mic. In his last run as champion he was shown up numerous times, by HBK in particular. Batista as well is mediocre at best, hes NEVER cut a money promo in his life to my mind.

    I think someone like Flair would be awesome to cut the fiery passionate promos as and when needed. I mean gong back to the Horsemen, they were ALL brilliant promo guys,some of the greatest ever, streets ahead of Orton/Batista/Priceless (the original group anyway) yet they still had Dillon as well.......

    I disagree on all this.

    Flair lost that ability years ago, his rants arent coherent anymore.

    i'm so happy mr infinity bump flair is gone. debiase jr is already being refered to as the new orton. i didn't orton was old enough for that. if any faction formed it would need a leader. orton is not that guy. he's a loner and good at it. put jbl in there and you got money and priceless.

    The promo he gave when he had to relinquish the belt went down ridiculously well

    I thought CM Punk and JBL's promo was brilliant, you can see CM Punk is getting better!!!

    Batista is working probably the best I have ever seen from him. Since the stretcher match at ONS, he has looked unstoppable.
    That stretcher match was diabolical. It proved to me that even Michaels can have bad matches.


    I was surprised by the Jericho-Kane match. I found it quite enjoyable and well-paced. When you couple this with decent matches he had with Punk and Morrisson before leaving ECW, maybe the Big Red Monster isn't as washed up as I had previously thought.

    I defiently agree but the Straight Edge gimmick was a bit awkward when JBL offered the toast. I think felt they kinda had to cheer CM just for the sake of it and not for any other reason.
