5 Best General Managers in WWE History

John Laurinaitis

Despite the fact he was disliked by virtually everyone, John Laurinaitis was perfect in his role as GM

If you believed in “Power to the People” you liked the former Johnny Ace of the wrestling ring. Laurinaitis became a figurehead in October of 2011 on Raw. Following a kayfabe 'strike' by members of the WWE roster as a result of Triple H's management, Laurinaitis was announced by Vince McMahon on behalf of the Board of Directors as the new Interim Raw General Manager.

That same night, Laurinaitis would fire Jim Ross and reinstate The Miz and R-Truth, who had been suspended following repeated attacks. He was always good at getting a negative push from the fans and was disliked by stars such as John Cena.
