Authority figure (professional wrestling)

In professional wrestling, an authority figure is a person who has (kayfabe) power over a particular promotion or brand. Authority figures are responsible for for making matches, providing rules and generally keeping the law and order both in and outside of the ring. The role can also vary over their disposition. A face authority figure would tend to give what the fans want and tends to favor fellow face wrestlers. Mick Foley is popular example of these. Heel authority figures tend to run their shows of their own self-interest. Vince McMahon is a popular example of these with his Mr. McMahon character.
