Ranking Every General Manager In WWE Raw History

17. Mike Adamle

There were general managers that didn't last as long as him. There were other individuals who did as much during their time on top as him. But there is zero doubt that there was not a worse authority figure in Raw history than Mike Adamle.

Sure, he meant well, but his awful acting and execution of his lines were too terrible to ignore. Why he was appointed the authority figure of the flagship show to begin with remains a mystery, especially following his failed stints as a backstage interviewer and an ECW announcer. For the three months he ran Raw, he just never seemed to click.

If there was any one thing Adamle was responsible for, however, it was the creation of the Championship Scramble match, which debuted at 2008's Unforgiven event. The GM invented another cool concept - 'Adamle's Originals' - but was gone a short time later. He offered Shane McMahon an ultimatum: to fire Randy Orton or him, but before Shane could choose, Adamle announced his resignation.

In storyline, he couldn't handle the pressures of being Raw general manager, whereas in reality, Vince McMahon knew the experiment wasn't working and mercifully pulled the plug.
