Former WWE writer discusses Adam Pearce as RAW GM

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently discussed Adam Pearce’s role as the General Manager of WWE RAW.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show, Russo questioned why Pearce was in the role and suggested anyone could play his character. He noted that the company could get a different star over as RAW GM and didn’t understand why Pearce was cast in the role.

“For the life of me, man, I don’t know why Adam Pearce is in that role. He’s such a vanilla GM, like that could be anybody. You can get somebody over in that spot, you can get a character over in that spot. I don’t know why that guy is in that spot. I know they love him, I understand all that, but I’m just talking about show and character purposes. I don’t know why that guy is in that spot, man,” Russo said. [From 21:31 onwards]
