Because it's President's Day (in America) let's honor the on-screen authority figures who were labeled "the President". No commissioners or general managers in this thread!  |

I grew up with Monsoon as president, so him. He was responsible for some of my favorite moments, including the Wild Card match and the Ladder Match at SummerSlam 1996. And he got Vader over as a monster at the start of his run.

Does Dario Cueto count?

People are voting for Jack Tunney only because he was the easiest to bribe.

I like Monsoon, I remember watching my VHS's growing up and seeing him and Steve Austin clash and get in each other's faces.

Tunney. He was stiff, dull, nobody had any clue who he was or what he did, but he didn't engage in angles and overshadow the wrestlers like so many other authority figures. He was perfect.
People call wrestling titles a prop, well, Tunney was a prop more than a character, and that's great.

I voted for Tunney, but it was good seeing Monsoon argue with the heels during his role as president. Like most, I only knew Monsoon as a commentator, so when Vader attacked him I was amazed to see that he wasn’t much bigger than Gorilla. |

I've noticed, out of all the authority figures, Austin never touched Gorilla. Not once. |

Monsoon seemed the most fair and I really liked on the Saturday/Sunday shows when they'd show footage of him giving his rulings.
Can you imagine not being a wrestling fan and hearing the name "President Gorilla Monsoon?"

 He played the perfect balance of evil manipulative asshole but also a guy who also f***ed over the heels , he did not have a bias to one side or the other because at the end of the day he had his own plans for things and also because he just loved violence. oh and he had the absoloute best office of any president in wrestling and this is just because he had a fully stocked bar in it with only the finest of drinks. |
