10 Least Authoritative WWE Authority Figures

1. Mike Adamle

One of professional wrestling's greatest unanswered questions: How the heck did Mike Adamle end up as Raw General Manager? Logically, you'd guess, it seemed a half decent idea. After all, anybody with a pedigree of announcing and reporting on NFL fixtures has to be doing something right, right? He hosted American Gladiators and XFL too, but he came in to WWE full time in 2008 as an announcer. He'd frequently mess up names and catchphrases,but he somehow made his way in to the role of GM in July of that year. The trouble for Adamle was nobody took him seriously. How can anybody actually do so when the new guy is dropping clangers like naming Jeff Hardy "Jeff Harvey" and Cody Rhodes as "Cory Rhodes"? Even if Adamle was brought in to purposefully be that clueless, it's still really difficult to get your head around why this type of character was put on TV in the first place. Adamle did an incredible job of screwing up, to be fair to him. But even if he made a pretty penny but doing what the powers that be hard ordered of him, seeing and hearing Adamle talk over WWE programming was as cringeworthy as anything we've ever seen. Is Mike Adamle the worst figure of power we've ever seen in WWE? Is there anybody not mentioned who you think is less believable as an authority presence than this bunch?
