WWE needs to get a mic in Ellering’s hands ASAP

Pretty sure 90% or more have no idea who he is. He has to give a short history lesson and change that.

Crazy how he adds a chit ton of credibility to AOP and Cross and they suddenly all look like legit badazzes.

Cross has been floundering around long enough. Ellering could be the man to change that and probably the only “manager” who can match wits with Heyman.

I hope WWE doesn’t blow this.

Just another example of relying on telling and not showing when it comes to how they use their characters and their inability to create much character depth. Seems to happen almost everywhere these days.

Rather then “showing” everyone who he is by having him paint the picture with his actions, motives, personal backstory, etc…they instead just briefly give a sentence blurb here or there that is suppose to cover it. Audience is suppose to just take commentary’s word on things and not develop their own take on it.

This stable might be his last chance to be a legit main roster threat (with potential to vault him to the main event eventually) and Ellering is a huge component of that equation.
Agreed. We've only seen them a few times and my hope is this is just the beginning and they'll get their chance

I think WWE should do like they did in the 80s and have multiple managers who each have their own group of wrestlers they manage like how Bobby "The Brain" Heenan had his group of wrestlers, Jimmy Hart had a group of wrestlers and so did Sherri Martel. They don't need to be an actual stable like The Bloodline they can simply be wrestlers who have the same manager.

It's not a bad idea, but everything today is factions. So they call themselves Final Testament, but are they truly a faction? Even Heenan's group of wrestlers was known as the Heenan Family. Would be interesting if AOP comes ringside when Cross has a singles match. My problem with all this is getting Ellering the notoriety he deserves so people understand his impact on AOP and Cross and whoever else joins.
