10 Lamest Wrestling Authority Figures
1. WWE Raw Sheriff Stone Cold Steve Austin
Triple H got most of his kicks flattening as many foes as possible during his reign of terror over Monday Night Raw between 2002 and 2005, but few were as deserving of his scorn as 'Sheriff' Stone Cold Steve Austin.
'The Game' positively p*ssed himself at 'The Rattlesnake's toy badge during a early-2004 promo war between the two - and rightfully so! An idea as lazy as most of the creative during that period, Austin's genuinely evocative exit at the Survivor Series just weeks earlier was undone by his rabble-rousing return at the end of a dramatic Monday Night Raw pitting Shawn Michaels against hid former DX partner for the latter's World Heavyweight Title.
Adding the use of an ATV in his entrance as well again decking folk without reprise whenever he felt like it, Stone Cold already-tired gimmick was driven even further into the ground. Truthfully, the return seemed as much to placate him as much as it did a fanbase largely tired with his bullish authority figure act. Within four more ineffective months of his return, he was gone for good as a permanent performer.
