Babyfaces can have many different character traits such as being charming, hard-working, loyal, good-looking, an underdog, a bad-ass, or (the only ones WWE seems to remember) funny or cool. With that said, the transparent, ass-kissing nature displayed by WWE's top babyfaces on nearly every RAW is vomit-inducing and just plain awful to watch. Every month, it seems, the television audience is forced to watch superstars constantly pandering to whatever city RAW is in that week. With no legitimate ties to the city, the sports teams or local celebrities, this sycophantic behaviour from supposed "good guys" is as deep as the foam on the ring mat they stand. The minute RAW goes off the air, they're on to the next city where they'll act in the same fake manner. And when you think about the pattern the WWE has exhibited over the years in terms of their preferred target audience (the television viewer vs. the local crowd), it becomes even more mind-boggling. The WWE has always catered their product to the more substantial television audience of millions as opposed to the crowd of thousands in the building. It's the reason house shows were often treated as if they never happened and how, unofficially, WWE canon was only what made it on television. So why on Earth do WWE continue to have the babyfaces falsely pamper the live crowd when it changes every night (often at the expense of other cities' fans), instead of removing this cheap pop opportunity and with it, the risk of alienating their millions of television viewers? The reliance on cheap pops is exactly that - cheap - and not exactly a redeeming quality for a babyface to exhibit. An endearing good guy doesn't go around shouting the name of the city, acting like it's their favorite place, temporarily rooting for their sports teams just because that's where they are at currently (and not by choice) only to say the same things and take the same attitude the next week in a totally different city. That type of behaviour is so disingenuous and unbelievably phoney that it is more in line with the behaviour of a heel.
