Subject: Bringing him back is yet another quick fix.

Dagnabbit, this'll only bring in short-term interest, maybe a little more if he actually rassles, but it can't change the horrible storylines. I'm losing faith in the WWE fast. Gads, it's painful to say WWE.

They could have his son come in a fued with Flair, since Flairs younger son fueded with Vince Russo in yet another of WCW's most shiningest momements ever. It could be a "Cookie on a Pole" match. Yay!

Maybe Rev. Devon has a new partner.

Oooh, an exorcism!

Heehee.... Hickenbottom.

Cripes, he's starting to sound like Pat Robertson. Except Pat WILL beat you over the head with his bible. For your own good, of course.

Like I said, if he doesn't actually wrestle, I think interest will be minimal at best. The age of managers are over, unless you've got no apparent mic skills (a la Lesner).

Gadzooks, I always thought his gimmick was gay. Boy toy? Ugh.
