I think the main problem with The Authority is not that they are boring, played out, and lame, but that it just encourages lazy booking and writing. It's a shortcut. Since they can do whatever they want, why not put the champion in the Royal Rumble.. why not feed the entire roster to him.. why not etc. It's lazy stuff, probably caused by the fact that they love to hire non-wrestling people to be writers. Plus, all the heel points they sponge up could have been given to actual wrestlers. That's why they have a problem now with no top heels
