Michael Hayes

By Scott Keith on April 28, 2012

Hello Scott,

Always enjoy a good mailbag, and would appreciate your opinion on something that has been bothering me for a while. Just what is the deal with Michael Hayes?
I appreciate the impact the Freebirds made, and he obviously must have a decent mind for the business given his career backstage and in the ring, but his ring-work came across as being centred around stalling and doing a crap moonwalk.

Yet he appears to be very well respected, and has ascended through the WWE from road agent to head writer. So is he a genius? Opportunist? Overrated?
Keep up the good work!
Tom

He's a smart guy, but a shit worker. And a bit of a racist, apparently. But yeah, he's always had a great mind for the business and he's a funny guy. There's lots of guys like that, who were smart enough to make a good living for themselves but really found their calling as agents or writers (like BIG JOHNNY) because they can act as a muse for someone with better in-ring talent than them. And then I guess you have the opposite like Ricky Steamboat, where he can still work circles around the guys he's supposed to be training.

Discussion topic: Who among today's guys are going to be the best agents and writers for the next generation? Punk obviously. Any dark horses?
