10 Most Inept General Managers In WWE History

10. Donald Trump

Donald Trump has had various flirtations with World Wrestling Entertainment over the years. An alleged lifelong wrestling fan and friend of Vince McMahon, his Trump Plaza has played host to two WrestleManias, and he’s been featured on a number of shows himself. Most notably, Trump stood in Bobby Lashley’s corner as he competed against Umaga (who had McMahon in his corner) in a ‘Mania XX “Hair vs. Hair” match.

Lashley won the match and he, Trump, and Stone Cold Steve Austin shaved Vince bald as soon as the match was over, but let’s be honest, if there’s anyone who could benefit from cutting it off and starting again, it’s The Donald.

Trump assumed a brief authority figure role in June 2009, when McMahon announced that he’d sold the show to the current US Presidential candidate. Trump confirmed the move, but his spell as GM lasted just a single night: Vince bought Raw back the next week, and Trump hasn’t appeared since.

So why the inclusion? Trump wasn’t in power long to enact many major changes, but he did introduce the concept of Raw’s weekly guest host/General Manager, another of Raw’s most derided tropes over the years. This makes Trump directly responsible for Dennis Miller’s horrific showing on the 2009 Slammys edition of Raw, the shambolic Jeremy Piven/Ken Jeong episode, and a host of other guest GM-related crimes.
