Powell’s POV: Khan has played the big announcement card many times with mixed results in terms of whether the announcements have lived up to the hype. Let the speculation begin.
The only valuable announcement he can make is that he’s hiring a real booker and giving them 100% control of the product.
Legit question. Who are your realistic booker candidates?
That’s tough. I’m not sure if that person is under contract at the moment. It might be time to give someone new a shot at things. They’ve got Dustin Rhodes, Billy Gunn, Paul Wight, and a few others who could at least be considered for their first real booking shot. You’ve got someone like JR who could be a great sounding board for whoever gets it.
It absolutely cannot be Jeff Jarrett.
I think I’d go with Arn Anderson with a second choice being Christian. Both are guys who could do everything, and fit into pretty much any role, but neither was ever going to be the biggest star in the business even though they spent a lot of time around those stars. I feel like both would have a chance of getting things straightened out enough to provide a real direction and then run with whoever breaks out from the pack.
Jason, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this “important announcement” #14,563? Or have I missed one or 10 along the way? Any edification would be appreciated.
Hopefully it’s that Max will be getting the payperviews!
I’m tired of paying for them.
