How About Teddy For Raw GM?

Combine the angle Edge started about getting a new permanent Raw GM with Teddy Long's angle in which he has his role as Smackdown GM hanging by a single string. Teddy Long for new Raw GM?

Why Teddy? It may bring some closure to his troubles on Smackdown. It can clear the way for Vickie Guerrero to take full control of Smackdown, unless they have someone else in mind. On Raw, Long can call the shots without guest host crap getting attention for the booking. He can remain somewhat neutral and fair. The celebrities can push whose side they are on. And most people do not recall Teddy ever having power on Raw at all. He has been the main GM on ECW and Smackdown. Time for Raw?

Few holes in the idea. First, is the WWE still really interested in finding a new permanent GM? Even if they are only interested in shifting bodies around until a final decision is made, which may be a good idea, let Teddy Long be one of the bodies who is in charge for one night. Have something happen to make it so that he cannot be permanent GM, or so they would want fans to think. After another few weeks of having other "permanent GMs" run the show, but only to get bumped off at the end of the night, have a final decision made by naming one of the people who ran it for a night or swerve everyone with a totally different choice. However, there is another hole here. Vince does not seem pleased with Teddy Long in this angle. Why would Vince seemingly reward him by naming him Raw GM? The WWE can dance around this issue by saying "The Board of Directors" chose Long. In the end, would it still not be easy for Vince to make life miserable for Teddy?

Teddy has been on probation for months now. Is this angle going to last longer than MVP's losing streak? I have to admit, they are at least still keeping it fresh a bit.
