3. Do It Yourself

In addition to being a bad heel act, the Authority (plus Mr. McMahon) excels at one thing: putting down other talent. It€™s a horrendous trend with them, as they can€™t help but belittle the entire roster at their expense. Stephanie McMahon declaring that Triple H had to enter the Royal Rumble and win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship because €œif you want something done right, you have to do it yourself€ heavily implies that there is no one on the roster capable of beating Roman Reigns. It suggests that everyone on the roster is unable to win a match. Then Vince and Stephanie put down their newest signee, AJ Styles €“ and not in a way that builds him up because they€™re heels, but in a €œhe€™s not worth our time€ manner.So ask yourself this: If the owners of the company think their performers are unreliable and they constantly mock and put down their talent, why should the casual fan think they€™re anyone special? Clearly the stars of the show are the McMahons, right?
