If there's one thing worse than feeling incredibly estranged from governments and leaders that are supposed to have your best interests at heart, it's seeing those that either toady up to supposed authorities for favour. Or worse, people you know that embrace said toadying in the hope that they'll get some of that reflected glory.
These are inherently dislikable qualities, and WWE are currently desperate for characters that are actually one thing or a-f*cking-nother. Are The Hurt Business still heels? And if not, does that mean that Cedric Alexander is a babyface again? But Ricochet and Apollo Crews are babyfaces, and he turned on them. But Mustafa Ali was with that group and he's turned heel to join Retribution, so does that make the Hurt Business babyfaces. But. But but but.
Point is, these bootlick types are absolute Grade-A pr*cks in real life and in kayfabe, instantly recognisable for having a load of awful traits and a some idiosyncratic dress code that marks them out as such. Raw could do - and is doing - much worse.
