10 Times WWE Directly Insulted Your Intelligence
9. Blaming Baron Corbin For A Ratings Collapse
Monday Night Raw’s ratings have dipped year-on-year for the majority of the 2010s, but WWE selected to pin one of their most recent catastrophic slides on a character that needed anything but a browbeating.
‘Constable’ Baron Corbin as Raw Authority Figure was allegedly the reason for 2018's decline, even though - and this can’t be stressed enough - he wasn’t responsible for his own actions because wrestling isn’t real!
Wrestling isn’t real, it’s predetermined and pre-written, and Corbin was written to be an a*sehole, a trolling flop of a leader and a dull pro wrestler during his months performing as the man running the brand. Then, when this wrestling product failed, the company sent babyfaces out to blame his omnipresence as if he had any f*cking say on the matter.
Worse still, the McMahon Family - the gang making this bad choice every single week - were positioned as the babyface show saviours when they opened the December 17th Raw by saying that the days of the oppressive authority figure were over. Amazingly they’ve stuck to that pledge thus far, though this too has absolutely nothing to do with ‘The Lone Wolf’.
