Collection Agencies In The Mcmahon Family's Hands

By Rob Sutter


There are fewer things in professional wrestling that irritate me more than characters which come across as annoying. Of course, there are those who are supposed to be, since that is what the characters entail. However, when you have to actually like the personalities showcased on TV, it can be something of a problem; this is where the McMahon family comes into the equation, at least in my mind. The idea of them being in control of collection agencies makes me shudder, to say the least.

You know it's bad when you start to make fans feel sympathy for the cemented authority figure who has been, for so long, a heel. Vickie Guerrero has recently come under fire by all three members of the family - Vince, Stephanie and even Triple H - in order to run the shows in their way. If Vince wants a talent like Daniel Bryan to be cast aside, Triple H will swoop in and say that he'd be great in future matches. These conflicting messages have definitely made her work much harder.

After watching this family interact with others in the ring, I don't think that they're supposed to be the heroes they want the audience to believe. Stephanie McMahon's one segment with the Divas proved this to me because she did virtually nothing to help elevate them. If anything, she hurt their reputations with no visible payoff. Seeing as how Stephanie isn't someone who works on-screen from one show to the next, it seemingly assisted no one and it left me, as a fan, more than bewildered.

I believe that this type of character would not work well with collection agencies and this is because of one reason in particular. Agencies such as Rapid Recovery have always gone into cases with professionalism intact, showing bias to neither side. It is the one element which this kind of work is known for, as you could probably imagine. As a result, I don't see the McMahon family properly operating this kind of firm any time soon, which may be for the best considering that only particular individuals should be in charge.

I understand the kind of impact that the McMahon family has had in wrestling's past. It's the one family which seems to trump just about any other in the industry and the name is one which just about anyone can recognize. That being said, is it possible that they could find themselves working within collection agencies? To me, you would much sooner see the entire family win every championship in the company and declare themselves as the greatest performers the business has ever known.
