7. George Barrios
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSve2vXRJfc George Barrios is one of the most vital cogs in WWE, operating in the role of Chief Strategy And Financial Officer. He is essentially Vince McMahon's numbers guy, a full on corporate player concerned with strategy and finance. He joined the WWE in 2008 and has consistently emerged as one of the most important men in the company he was front and centre of the Network launch. The Wrestling Observer lists Barrios as one of the potential candidates to replace Vince as the top business guy, however, it's an outside bet. Barrios has questions over his understanding of the modern media landscape, and even more questions over his actual knowledge of pro wrestling. He in fact probably knows very little about wrestling, in fairness his job is as a businessman not a promoter. It should also be pointed out, his knowledge of the modern media landscape can't be any worse than Vince's. It is one of the lesser likely Vince replacements, but the fact that the Observer includes Barrios in the discussion of McMahon's successor, it at least means there's a chance of the WWE CFO progressing to the top spot. The biggest detriment to Barrios progressing could end up hinging on the success of the Network, he seems a possible fall guy should the Network be deemed a failure.
