No. i got tired of them every week and how everything had to be about them and involve them. HHH and Steph should stay off TV for a long while.

The less 'GM is God' shows we get every week the better. Stephanie should go the way of her Dad and only show up now and again to cut a promo just to get the crowd riled up.

Not unless they learn how to make the show not about them, which seems virtually impossible. That's the trouble they have - babyface authority figures are always benign and bland, heel authority figures have to be power-hungry and make the show all about them, and a wrestling show without authority figures feels incomplete. I grew up with the Jack Tunney era, for me the show feels way more complete when the authority figure is seen or heard only on special occasions and just mentioned in promos or on commentary occasionally.

It made more sense when it looked like Triple H was starting a hit squad with Joe and Owens, but then Seth Stung Hunter and Owens got traded. A feud with Angle only makes sense if the clear him, which it doesn't look like they have interest in.

I have been enjoying the lack of the boring, mundane heel authority figures on WWE TV. This has to be one of the longest breaks without a heel authority figure in years. I'm content to let it ride.

The Authority was around for like 3+ years.....I don't think there is anything that they can do that hasn't been done. Instead of rehashing something old, let's do something new.

Unless the concept is tweaked so that it doesn't involve Stephanie McMahon appearing every week to emasculate a wrestler then I say no thanks.

I think Shane is just as bad as Steph nowadays.

I will say though that we badly need heel GM's. Face authority figures just don't work because they are limited. Heel bosses are better at getting faces over like Bryan, Austin, Rock etc.
For instance loveable Daniel Bryan bullying KO wouldn't work and make no sense but AJ Styles falling victim to Jealous and resentful Daniel Bryan who's trying to drive him out of Smackdown would be huge money.

After all this time without The Authority to provide the backbone to the programming I think it's to redebut The Authority. We can all agree WWE has been severely lacking lately and A possible Authority Return Angle would be what WWE needs for it. for it EDIT: 1000 views and no replies please vote and post your Thoughts You have the most random signatures on your posts

I grew up in the Jack Tunney days as well, but for the last twenty years, mainstream wrestling has been all about good/evil authority figures doing in-ring speeches. One hour shows like NXT and 205 can get away with being more similar to the old style format I watched as a kid full of squash matches and pre-taped promos, but anytime Raw/SmackDown don't have a GM figure, the shows feel weird. I guess it's because of how long they are.

I really disliked the authority in the 'change the channel every time they start raw with a 20 min prromo' way.
i'd rather not see them return. some of the crap they said on the mic about fans, bryan, and wrestling was genuinely cringeworthy.

Nice Sig WFigs should allow more room I would put those in my Sig Too.Thank you everyone for voting but I suspect that the voting was tampered by a party operating.. Mods lock the thread so it can't be hacked. Overall while everyone did not agreed on the subject it is agreed that WWE is stale and need to bring back TV-14 and Authority need to return

Nope
Although I actually really liked the Authority Angle and I actually really was entertained by Corporate Kane. Well excuse the first part I liked it up until Rollins got taken out. The whole League of Nations stuff was bs. The angle was at it's peak up until WrestleMania XXX. I actually wish more conclusive end was brought to it besides it just fading away.

I'm very very burned out on heel management factions of al types. It feels like ever since heel Bischoff and McMahon from the late 90s, we almost never get a break. I'm enjoying that we aren't having that situation currently and hopefully it last for years

I like the idea of the presence of The Authority, kind of in the same way that you feel the presence when Vince is in town. But I don't want them to return full time yet.

Mods lock the thread so it can't be hacked. Overall while everyone did not agreed on the subject it is agreed that WWE is stale and need to bring back TV-14 and Authority need to return So many questions... Wha? Party operating? Hacked? TV-14? 59 people voted " No" yet you say it's agreed that the Authority need to return? Where did you come up with ANY of these conclusions?
