Do you remember Eddie Guerrero's last feud with Rey Mysterio (where Eddie was supposedly the father of Rey's son)? During the lead up show to the Pay-per-View Eddie performed the greatest heel promo of all time - occupying eight minutes of airtime - while never saying a word! His manipulation of the audience through expressions, body language and the sole prop of a Mysterio mask was nothing short of artwork that McMahon will never be able to duplicate.
As far as these suspensions just watch as McMahon staggers them out ("Orton, you're out two weeks in October. Funaki, you can't job the first two weeks of November") so as not to turn all of his shows into the worst half of his ECW. He can also claim he's making the workers take time off as part of his Wellness Policy. He's that opportunistic and hypocritical.
Yes! He was a master! RIP Eddie.
But the story line was distasteful and never seemed to meld into the rolling 2 hour show. It just didn't fit, and even worse was where and how the story ended (eddies real death).
The way Vince is currently losing players he needs to shorten up his routines.
