10 Times WWE Actually Admitted It Sucked
1. And It's Not Just Baron Corbin
Modern-day WWE is a relentless onscreen cat-kicking exercise in which the talent tasked with performing in accordance with the script are blamed - often cruelly - for its unpopular product.
Vickie Guerrero was bad for business in July 2013 because she drew the "not good kind" of booing, which doesn't explain Baron Corbin. Nothing explains Baron Corbin. Brad Maddox followed her out of the RAW GM door in May 2014. Notice how we are firmly in the post-WrestleMania doldrums? Notice how WWE needed a scapegoat to blame the suck on? Stephanie McMahon talked to Mick Foley like he was a piece of sh*t on her shoe for about a year, and they never even paid it off.
WWE is telling you, always, that the product "overseen" by these "authority figures" sucks, and when they are fired, it's meant to act as a sort of cleansing.
"Get with the programme, Foley, you f*cking idiot! These people don't want 20 minute opening promos!"
The McMahon family operate as heels, primarily, except when it comes time to sh*t-can a subordinate, and we are to enjoy their schtick. This strange, ongoing practise isn't too dissimilar to the excuses Vince McMahon makes on investor conference calls.
Vince McMahon is basically Shaggy. It's never him.
All roads lead to Vince. He is essentially firing himself over and over and over again. Maybe, all along, he despised pronouns because he doesn't understand which one is which.
"I'm fired!"
There you go!
Once again for those in the back: "WWE sucks" is the theme of WWE, and I'm negative or biased for simply understanding the message I'm being told?
