2. Is Vince A Heel?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpgqlGbRIzc Can someone answer that question? Its actually a serious one. Vince McMahon shows up on Raw out of the blue and adds a stipulation to a Survivor Series elimination match, putting his daughter and son-in-laws jobs on the line, then later ups the stips by saying only John Cena can return them to power. He keeps saying that he supports them and thinks they can do it, basically implying that this is some weird form of tough love or life lesson. So when they lose, he is pissed at them rightly so but then he tells them that they need to fix this somehow. Look, if you didnt want them to be out of power, then why did you do this? Putting the Authority out of power makes you a face in the fans eyes, but then telling them they need to get their spot back would make you a bad guy. What was Vinces motivation for randomly putting their power on the line? If its tough love, then it just doesnt make any sense. Worst of all, fans are going to get confused about whether they should like Vince or continue hating him as usual. If hes with the Authority, thats easy, boo. But if hes putting roadblocks in their path, then hes going to elicit some more cheers.
