I wish authority figures would disappear altogether, at least as constant on-screen characters. I liked it better when authority figures like Jack Tunney would only appear on-screen every once and a while to rule on important matters. A lot of people would say we need authority figures in order to grant someone a match or title shot but we don't really in most cases. It's annoying when a Raw (or Smackdown) show comes on and then the main event only gets made for later in the night because of a spontaneous confrontation between people in the ring or something. You're telling me that in the kayfabe world of WWE, they honestly don't have a main event already planned for that night? I know there's a lot of illogical things in the world of wrestling (excuse me, "sportz entertainment"), but still.
Anyway, yeah, if Triple H does end up playing the role of the owner, then I think he should wait awhile after his last match in order to further his authority character away from his wrestling character. During his COO run, it was still somewhat difficult for me to see him as a corporate figure because he still wrestles from time to time (although that did play well into the Taker/HHH build for WM last year.) I think it would be great if he said Wrestlemania this year against Lesnar was his final match and that he wants to go out proving he can take down Brock. Didn't he give a 'retirement speech' last year after losing anyway?
