10 Mistakes WWE Refuse To Learn From
8. Silly Gimmicks
Once upon a time, WWE was a world of over the top characters. They had everything from bird men to sergeants. That was wrestling, and no one was likely to complain. However, times changed and silly gimmicks stopped being fun and started being stupid. They don’t cut it in 2017.
So why do they keep happening? Why are we still surrounded by fashion models and people telling us about the power of love? Why are we calling Shinsuke Nakamura, ‘The Artist’? This stuff stopped working years ago, and yet WWE can’t seem to let it go.
Some silly gimmicks are fun. The Fashion Police have their niche, and while Mike Kanellis is struggling so far, there’s every chance he and Maria will find theirs too. But they are all destined for mid-card obscurity. It doesn't matter how talented you are. The fool doesn't get to be the man.
