10 Unofficial Rules That Exist In WWE Today

2. Talents Don't Need To Be Protected

In addition to the match order and main event spots not being respected or protected, neither are the talents themselves. The difference here is that, with the various spots and matches, the responsibility can be placed on the talents. In this case, however, it's the bookers and writers that are to blame. It also doesn't help that commentary blatantly ignores key spots and character development, but their apparent responsibilities have already been discussed.

Enhancement talent and lower mid-card performers don't always need to be protected, but in WWE today, too many top level talents and performers with potential are being exposed and left unprotected by their booking on WWE television.

Stephanie McMahon is a prime perpetrator here. While men aren't able to do much physically in response to Stephanie, they also don't need to be put into a position making them look weak and humiliated without ever getting a comeback. When it comes to the women, Stephanie's wrestled one match in the past 10 years and, oh by the way, she won! How is that protecting anyone other than Stephanie? It's important to protect talents by ensuring heels keep their heat and babyfaces get comebacks, otherwise the audience loses interest, they don't believe in the characters, and nobody gets over. If that's WWE's end game, then job well done.
