10 WWE Authority Figures Who Weren’t Actually All Bad
7. JJ Dillon
Faced with the unenviable task of standing up to a dominant omnipresent gang of sh*ts like the nWo is no mean feat. Each week, Nitro went off the air with garbage pelting a downed midcarder whilst Hogan posed himself into frenzy and The Giant spat everywhere like he always seems so bloody insistent on doing. EVP Eric Bischoff was even on the books. WCW didn't have a hope.
JJ Dillon bravely tried to take control of the situation when just about everybody in the company had lost their balls. Fronting his Horseman pedigree, Dillon fearlessly smacked Bischoff down with fines and suspensions, and even banned Kevin Nash's powerbomb after he dropped The Giant on his neck.
Sadly, like just about everything in WCW, his tenure came to a muddled anticlimax, when he took a kicking from Hollywood Hogan and was replaced by Roddy Piper...only he wasn't, as WCW would forget who had the job and just trot somebody official-looking out when they had absolutely no clue how to book themselves out of more utter bobbins.
Still, Dillon's brief presence was like DDP and Sting getting the very occasional one over the group - it represented a faint light at the end of an increasingly dull nWo tunnel. But before long those lights went out, and it wasn't long before they stopped putting 50ps in the WCW meter altogether. Good try though, JJ.
