Linda McMahon has never been the most natural television presence, has she? Though she's one half of WWE's most powerful couple - and they still are, even while Triple H and Stephanie do the business on television - Linda has tended to shy away from the spotlight. But over the course of the Attitude Era and beyond, she was needed to balance out the decisions of her 'evil' husband, Mr. McMahon. She became relevant as an on-screen character on Raw and Smackdown between 1998 and 2006, but never particularly had the conviction - nor the personality - to be believable as an authority figure. Her legitimacy was of course helped because everybody knew the significance of her surname, but that's not the point. Her promos were boring, her delivery weak and she was completely devoid of charisma. To boot, she took some of the worst looking bumps we've ever seen. It's a good thing she's sticking to the politicking.
