In the world of WWE, a bold statement is making waves: Robert Stone, the newly appointed interim General Manager of NXT, might just be the best GM in the business right now. But why? It's a controversial take, especially when you consider the current landscape of WWE management.
Geno Mrosko, a seasoned wrestling enthusiast and writer, believes Stone's approach sets him apart. When Shawn Michaels handed over the GM role, he hinted at embracing chaos, and Stone took that to heart. Unlike the iron-fisted rule of Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis on Raw and SmackDown, Stone lets the wrestlers take the lead.
Here's where it gets intriguing: Stone starts by challenging his wrestlers, but at the slightest pushback, he gives in, granting their wishes. This unique style was on full display during a recent NXT episode. When Myles Borne celebrated his championship win, Ethan Page confronted him, and Stone, instead of enforcing rules, quickly caved and set up an impromptu match.
And this isn't an isolated incident. Later in the same show, a women's championship match ended in chaos due to an unexpected appearance. Instead of a structured solution, Stone opted for a backstage interview, promising a decision during the live event. We all know how this will play out - the wrestlers will demand action, and Stone will happily oblige.
This hands-off approach is a breath of fresh air for some and a recipe for disaster for others. But love him or hate him, Stone's style is undeniably unique. So, what's your take? Is Robert Stone's GM style a genius move or a chaotic gamble?
