10 WWE Authority Figures Who Weren’t Actually All Bad

10. Donald Trump

The President-elect of the United States of America (it really is happening...) probably couldn't have made it to his new job as Leader of the Free World (...) without all the lessons he learned in his historic one-week stint as owner of Monday Night Raw.

Learning from Vince McMahon's dictatorial errors, he presented Trump Raw as the ultimate show of love to WWE's paying customers. In fact, it was so giving, by the end of the night they weren't even paying - he gave the ENTIRE crowd a full refund just for showing up and enduring yet another horrendous Triple H/Randy Orton match (those in attendance at Wrestlemania XXV must have been livid with that one).

And it wasn't just those in attendance too. He used his wealth to bin off commercial breaks for the night, presenting an ad-free Raw so the viewer didn't have to miss a single resthold nor suffer that bit where the timbre in Michael Cole's voice changes when he's throwing to the break. What a guy!

Vince, realising what a money-burning fool he'd been, immediately bought Raw back for double what he sold it for, as The Donald again works a masterclass in the Art of the Deal, winning both the hearts of the public and somehow pretending as if he'd stuck one in the eye of the establishment. Good job this sort of caper only goes on in a wrestling show eh?!
