WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (June 22)

2. Stephanie: A Hero To All

Last week, I complained about Alberto Del Rio and Titus O€™Neill looking like heroes because of their fatherhood videos that aired on Raw. I guess they are two heels that perhaps aren€™t bad people at all, so it makes it difficult to boo them and get emotionally invested in their matches. This week, WWE turned it up a notch when they showed a video of Stephanie McMahon€™s work at the Special Olympics. Don€™t get me wrong, off the air, helping out at the Special Olympics is very cool on the company€™s part. However, on-air, it comes across as €œhey, look at us, aren€™t we a great and caring company!€ It would be different if this were a one time thing, but WWE proudly displays their charitable work seemingly every week. Besides that, WWE is taking arguably the top heel in the company in Steph and showing that she€™s not actually that hateable of a person. Sure, she may look down on the fans, strip talent of titles, and make life a living hell for half the roster, but she€™ll gladly help out charities in her free time. Isn€™t she wonderful? Why would someone like Brie Bella slap her? Why would Roman want to poison her? And most importantly, why would fans want to watch a show that can€™t have consistent characters?
