Top RAW Backstage Rumors: Paul Heyman released because of Bobby Lashley? Vince McMahon being forced to push Superstar he doesn't want to; Former US Champion to return after 6 months (18th August)

#2 Truth about RAW anonymous General Manager storyline

One of the most ludicrous storylines in the past decade was the one involving an anonymous RAW General Manager. The GM would send out instructions via a laptop for Michael Cole to read it out aloud. While the story helped Michael Cole become one of the most despised heels on the roster, it didn't achieve anything more.

Though fans believed that there would eventually be a reveal as to who this RAW GM was, WWE quietly dropped the angle without any revelation. Arn Anderson talked about the storyline on his podcast - ARN.

"[It was] hokey. Yeah, it was bad, it was bad. You can't have some phantom guy that's got all the authority, that's booking all the matches. It takes that stretch of believability and it goes way, way, way too far. And I think it just did. "It was cute for a week or two but it still didn't make sense unless you're going to have a reveal, and you never had a reveal. It's just 'blink blink' and that was the GM that nobody knew who it was, making career decisions on people's lives."
