From 2011 to 2012, Big Johnny spent a year as The General Manager of Raw and Smackdown and the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations. You don't have to google the man to remember that. He told the fans at every available opportunity. The man was a creature forged purely of anti-charisma, his voice was uncertain, his on-air presence was awkward, and his personality resembled a child's drawing of an empty box. But he wasn't bland. He was turbo bland, a force of bland so stubbornly refusing to yield even an iota of humanity, that he somehow became fascinating. He was so bad he was good. What really pushes him onto the list, however, is the fact that he was an actual true-to-life company man. He really was the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, replacing Jim Ross in the position back in 2004. Many ex-WWE employees have taken to shooting on Big Johnny for perceived lack of competence, most notably the king of the shoot interview, Jim Cornette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HljqU9qIAQY The fact that he genuinely was a suit that people hated in real life, just added to the negative reactions he received.
