Ive noticed:
--------
1. All GM's are involved in angles, with some of it including physical involvement. Also, all power figures are heels.
-Regal as GM and as King is involved in an angle currently and has comepeted recently. He's had alercations with stars. -Estrada has been in a stroyline with Delaney and has competed two weeks running and is an active star -Vickie has had many dubious decisions lately and is involved with Taker and Edge plus technically competed.
Seriously, since when did GM figures all have to become active in storylines and the ring. Seems odd.
----------
2. Every champion is face except for one that being the tag titles. As a complete opposite to the heel dominated GM case, every title except for the wwe tag titles are held by faces (except WHC which is vacant but was held by a face).
It seems really odd to have such a huge sway.
-------------
Thoughts on these two things?

Yeah it seems WWE is relying heavy on the evil GM trying to stop the face champions scinerios. Similar to what happened with Austin and Vince. It works well anyway plus it's just been Wrestlemania so the tends to be more face champions expect some heels to win titles soon enough. GMs are likely not going to change much except maybe Vickie getting replaced with T-Lo. I think heel power figures work better anyway.

I am actually entertained by the GM's, if ECW was more of a separate show, and less of an extra hour of smackdown, Estrada would be a little more appealing. I think that Vickie is the best GM IDK why....
The title situation is stupid, IMO the only good champions are Miz/Morrison as they defend their titles like every week. And Matt Hardy.

^^^ Yeh, I was actually looking forward to Jericho as IC Champ but he's crap. Well, no, he isn't but the fact he doesn't defend it, or even ACKNOWLEDGE it for that matter, sucks. I hope it goes back to Jeff while Y2J/HBK feud, and then they put Jeff in an IC feud. That is actually ABOUT the IC. (So long as it's not Umaga for the billionth time).

Or better yet, they make the HBK/Jericho feud about the IC title. That would be amazing.

Power figure/Heel GM's, to me, are played out at this point. Other than maybe William Regal's current character development, there's nothing new coming out of Vickie Guerrero or Armando Estrada. I still wish WWE had went with Edge using Vickie to get to the World Title before dumping her aside, maybe leading to Rey stepping in on her behalf and another small feud between the two.
I like Estrada being involved as an active superstar, but I would have taken a different approach in booking this Estrada/Delaney feud. Delaney could have been pitted in matches against monsters once again but he would seemingly find a way to win his matches each week, much to the dismay of Estrada. Then, since Delaney is already signed to a contract storyline-wise, Estrada could set up an Extreme Rules match between the two at a PPV where if Delaney wins, he gets an ECW title shot.
Now, he probably won't come out as champion facing Kane, another monster, but it would make for good TV each week with Delaney overcoming the odds stacked against him by Estrada.
As for all of the face champions, it's not too bad. I really like Morrison/Miz as WWE tag team champions; they really have something going for them as a team. I still wish Orton was WWE champion as he did look unbeatable for a short while. The whole Edge/Taker storyline is ridiculous to me and would have made just as much sense having 'Taker as WH champion the last few weeks. The IC title doesn't matter anymore and neither do the World tag titles, which I think Carlito & Santino should have won last week on Raw. The US title is fine with Matt Hardy, although I really enjoyed MVP's tenure with the belt as well.

Authority figures get involved all the time. Vince specifically comes to mind. And William Regal always gets involved when he's in charge. JR once nicknamed him "The Physical Commissioner" (which, like "The Wolverine Machine," "The Wizards of the Wicked Wood," and "The Flamboyant Vigilante," was one of those JR-created nicknames that just never caught on).
