A great heel in wrestling can make a great hero in wrestling. When a villain is believable enough the fan base will want someone to stop him, the guy the fans can rally behind to go against the top heel will become the top babyface and can build momentum. Ric flair was excellent at this, national wrestling alliance would have big titled tours where Ric flair would make credible contenders out of Ricky Morton, jimmy Garvin, hawk, animal and so many other good hands in the ring who were never seen as top singles wrestlers because of the strength of flair. What's better than a great heel? A faction of great heels? Why because they make great heroes!
If you wrestled the four horsemen in the mid 80's you, at least in the moment, were a top babyface. You instantly became important.
A great heel manager can elevate his stable and make all of the teammates seem important.
If you were in the Heenan family in the late 80's early 90's you became a top heel, at the moment, because you were with bobby Heenan.
So, why is this important now? Wwe has the possibility of creating that top babyface building faction in the authority. Watching triple h walk down the ramp way on raw ahead of sharply dressed Kane, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins the team screamed big time faction. The segment they were involved in went off the rails quickly but seeing the presence of that team could really create new top stars on the good side of the fence. Also, it seems like each wrestler is falling into their clichéd role of a faction.
Randy Orton is the current top heel potential champion. Orton has a ton of credibility as top guy, still has the look and pedigree of a top star with a high work rate. His arrogance, demeanor and delivery is so methodical, technical and classic that he still has the longevity to be successful.
Seth Rollins is the future top heel and he fits the mold spectacularly. He is probably not ready yet to be the heel of the company but he is close and I believe he has what it takes to fill that role in the near future.
Kane is the veteran that acts as the henchman who is a good win over an opponent going after the next two tiered wrestlers in the faction. Kane still has credibility and name value but his prime is behind him and losing doesn't really effect him at all.
Triple h is the real diamond of the group because he is the real life COO of the company, he is terrific on the microphone and he understands how to be a great villain. Also, he knows how advance storyline and can put the shine on the good guy or get the heat as the bad guy. He will make all of the members of the stable better and each top babyface can go after him as the unfair authority figure.
The authority should look to add a new member to make it a solid four man group but the new guy can't be just anyone, if should be a ready made star or a star on the cusp of breaking out. I would push for Cesaro, if they don't plan on turning him good, because he could become the "arn Anderson" of the group with serious break out potential. He has the skill and the look that would fit into the authority faction.
I think a better choice would be a hand picked nxt star that would need no learning time and can walk into the main roster and make a difference. Probably a guy with some size, so not Tyler breeze although I think he has a high upside, maybe the current nxt tag team champions; the acsension. They are a proven tag team with good size, good psychology and could totally play the hired guns role of the group. They could be quick to put a hurting on someone or act as body guards to triple h and the top stars.
The authority faction could elevate potential new stars like roman reigns, dean ambrose, the uso's, Dolph ziggler and allow already proven top guys like john cena a refreshing new feeling feud even though he has had runs with most of those guys. But, taking on the authority, as the proven top villains, would also allow to rotate other secondary wrestlers as opponents to give them instant credibility or a rub to try to elevate them. For instance, someone like big E may not have to feud with the authority but having a run in with them occasionally may improve their spot by having the universe see them in a new light.
The authority may not be the four horsemen, or even late 90's corporation, but they could play the same role and lend real credibility to young stars in a time where wwe really needs to rebuild their top tier and create top guys going into the future. These villain faction could be a vital tool to mold the next wave of wwe and showcase the future of wwe and sports entertainment. That is just this marks remarks.
