Happy 1 year anniversary, fellow Authority!

[Spider2024]

One year ago today, in a promo that totally wasn't a cheap ploy by WWE brass to convince Fox that they really did value their fans' input, HHH declared "You are the authority!" (and by 'you' he meant you and me, the WWE Universe)

So how well do you think we did in Year 1, authorities? I mean we did lose Paige the Smackdown GM early on, but realistically that was because she couldn't travel as much anymore and needed more time off the road to deal with various health issues, plus she went on to bring us The Kabuki Warriors, aka THE Women's Tag Team Champions. Also, Constable Baron Corbin is now King Corbin. So everyone's winning in the end, yeah?

Um... we're really not doing much better, are we?

If I had an authority in the WWE I'd get my damn severance from that time I was hired then fired with interest.... And I don't come cheap

Well, I did manage to help this nice fellow named Tony get his wrestling company started...

So, the ratings dip, bad angles, keeping Lesnar around, bringing the King back on commentary is all our fault?!

Speak for yourself. At least my brand won brand supremacy at Survivor Series.

Not my fault I couldn't get funding to get Velocity up and running again.

Guys, we really should release Mike Kanellis.

Or, what if we tell him that he’s really really really not the father of Maria’s baby for really reals?

But we need him so we can make jokes about how generic he is. Come on, we already had to give up the Sin Cara photoshops!

I signed a blood oath with Impact that when they release Killer Kross, we release Mike Kanellis.

So basically, we've got him long term. Sorry.

[ojsampson]

I cannot believe this is a year ago already. They really didn’t change much at all after this.

Thank the heavens that Trips is keeping his promise with NXT.

I'm just in it for the catering

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Hey look at it this way, pals.

We went from Baron Corbin dominating three hours a week, down to two.

We're killin' it.

[A damn road sign]

I still love that they kayfabe-blamed Baron Corbin for why the show sucked, and decided that the answer to that conundrum was LOADS MORE f***ING CORBIN

[DSR]

That was only a year ago? It feels like at least 3 years ago. 2019 is takin' forever, man.

Counter counter point: What if we forget that he's on the roster?

[Lance Uppercut]

Man how’d we go from fired to the Authority?
