You know, if I think about it long enough, Mike Adamle just might be a perfect choice for a RAW GM, I shouldn’t really jump in quick and say he’s going to suck at this role. I should give it more time, watch him on RAW more and then I can judge his performance. RAW wants to go for a different direction. They want to do something that hasn’t been done before, so they picked a veteran announcer to be RAW GM. WWE wanted to give someone who is not that well known a chance and an opportunity to get more screen time. With Mike Adamle being RAW GM, it could turn out interesting and be intense.

Mike Adamle is a legendary sports announcer, I’m sure all the sports fans outside of the wrestling community already knows who the man is. Mike Adamle becoming RAW GM is a ploy to get more ratings. To help attract American Gladiator fans and sports fans to start watching RAW. I think that is the main reason why WWE has chosen him.

To watch the ending of last night’s RAW watch the video below. Watch it quick before it gets pulled down.

Legendary sports announcer Mike Adamle was named the new RAW General Manager announced by Shane McMahon at the end of tonight’s RAW. The announcement was left with no crowd reaction at all. I myself was even watching the screen with a wtf look on my face.

Before Adamle joined WWE, he worked with NBC Sports, American Gladiators in the early 90’s, and worked for Sportscenter for a short time. He was also a former NFL football player who played for the Jets, the Bears, and the Chiefs.

At the end of RAW, Adamle did his first job by announcing the main event for this year’s “Summerslam” which will be John Cena vs. Batista.

My thoughts?

I’m dissapointed. Stupid WWE! I was actually expecting it to be Vicky Guerrero but I guess WWE is keeping her on Smackdown because that was Eddie’s home brand. I would have liked to have seen Vicky as RAW GM better than Adamle.

I hope Adamle don’t last long and they’ll make a better choice in the future.
