Eh I guess I should change it. That was "cool Cena" after all.
All these years later I have yet to witness a wrestling victory be as cathartic as this
While the future has tinged this and Eddie's victory
little did we know that Benoit would go up against this
and HHH would remain in control of the show and spotlight despite neither being entertaining enough to deserve it nor really the money making draw to get the main event over and over again.

Ain't nothing wrong with Kane, in 2004.
Better match than the overwrought HHH/HBK hell in a cell that took Bad Blood's top billing.

Certainly better than Daniel Bryan having to feud with Kane in 2014 coming off his huge WrestleMania. What a fucking comedown.

TEN YEARS LATER
Another vanilla midget worked his way into mania, beating HHH against all odds and also winning a triple threat match
he also went on to face Kane.
Well Basically the plan was this for his title reign:
May: Kane
June: Kane
July: Orton
August: Lose to Brock
September: Brock lose again
Then Cena at Royal Rumble and then Reigns big win at Wrestlemania.
He was getting basically a 4 month reign. If you read his book it was amazed he got through extreme rules. His body was really screwed up before Wrestlemania.
I'm fine with him getting written out but there were so many better options than Kane. That was the laziest fucking feud. Nothing was ever mentioned about their time as a team during the feud.
<^>°-°<^>
Yeah, it was lazy feud basically because Vince still didn't see him as a main event guy. There was a rumor Batista didn't want to lose to him at Payback but not sure if that was true. It just sucked the Authority didn't have anyone else left but kane.
Also, a former writer for WWE who writes for Lucha Underground revealed the original idea that anonymous GM was suppose to be Triple H.

In what world was Benoit a vanilla midget? He was a roided tank with the face of a hillbilly rapist
The whole Anonymous GM thing will always be hilarious to me. It's a distilled example of modern day WWE's weakness in how they write their shows/storylines. Just holy shit. How does that even get to air?
I always thought he looked like a gargoyle.
+12 swag.

HE'S GOT HIM IN THE CROSSFACE
HE'S GONNA MAKE HIM SQUEAL IN FRONT OF TWENTY THOUSAND FANS
They had a perfect chance to make it make sense when Rock came back to host wrestlemania. They could have made him the anonymous GM in order to show he still followed the show.

Anything would have been better, than not having a clue as to what the end game is. Such a stupid storyline.
That would have required actual planning.
The Anonymous GM was a result of WWE constantly looking for different ways to just throw shit on the screen to fill up time during the week. Just like with shit now, there's often no real overarching plan with some of these stories. They simply need a story, any story, so they just barf up whatever sort of resembles their brand of wrestling.
Look as FnP as this looks, I have to bring up the fact that Pro Wresting Noah did it first, and did it better during their Christmas Special.

The anonymous general manager storyline was the ultimate form of wwe's "we can't run a show without an evil authority figure" mentality.
