#1 "Rockstar Spud" James Curtin

Although nothing formal has been announced by WWE, James Curtin—better known as Rockstar Spud—has been expected to join the 205 Live roster for quite some time after leaving Impact Wrestling.
Numerous rumours circled numerous dates as for when he would make his first appearance, but nothing ever came to pass, which is suspicious.
Perhaps the reasoning for this was that the plan all along was to debut him as the general manager after the Royal Rumble, which is why this announcement is happening next week instead of now.
Curtin's claim to fame outside of the pure indie scene was his role as Chief of Staff under Dixie Carter for Impact, which led to two X-Division title wins and other accolades from 2013 until recently.
As a brand new character to the WWE Universe, Curtin could be virtually anything from the start—a brash and brazen heel, a supportive and quirky babyface, or even a combination of the two.
Perhaps this could even be the next feud for Gulak, who is furious that his proposal was ignored while a babyface like Curtin was brought in to fill the position instead.
The only thing getting in the way of this manifesting is if WWE brought him onto the roster to be an actual competitor, in which case, a decision would have to be made between the two options as it doesn't make sense for both to happen at the same time.
Until next week, we don't know for sure who the general manager will be, but these are just a few suggestions of some potential picks WWE may go with. Be sure to tell us who you'd like to see fill the role and what your predictions are in the comments below!
