A very Regal RAW

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

As predictably as a cash advance to a minimum wage worker, WWE owner Vince McMahon is back. Vinnie Mac turned the “who blew up Vince” disaster of an angle - made particularly tacky by the real-life double-murder suicide instigated by WWE wrestler Chris Benoit - into a “faked his own death” idea and quickly this past Monday ushered Raw into a fresh era by anointing a new Raw general manager, wrestler William Regal, as a replacement for long-time assistant GM and pain-in-the-keister Johnathon Coachman.

While Regal isn’t the most scintillating personality, it does give some closure to the era that was marred by the Benoit tragedy. While that real-life crime may have turned off many a casual fan, WWE’s most loyal viewers will feel that the change was long overdue.

Let’s just hope Vince doesn’t overexpose himself again, and allows Regal to take center stage and shine in his new role in the Raw storyline.
