10 Ways WWE Matches Einstein's Definition Of Insanity

8. Instructing Announcers To Belittle Talent

Sure, JBL's lambasting of The Ascension recently was part of a storyline, but there have been too many occasions on-air where the announce team are almost mocking what they're seeing in front of them. Maybe this is a damning verdict of WWE's own training regime, but it's not exactly conducive to fan excitement when Michael Cole is poking fun at the wrestling skills of one of the promotion's performers. Instead of having commentators belittle talent, WWE should be ironing out the kinks of their employees, ensuring that their performances are water tight. This approach is definitely insane, because it's almost like WWE repeatedly throw people into deep water situations, only to watch them struggle to stay afloat, then mock them for it and have the owner of the company say they're not ready for high-pressure situations on the WWE Network. That's backwards, and will not help WWE progress as a company. After all, how on earth can casual fans be convinced to part with their money to see some of these men and women if WWE have their on-air mouthpieces laugh when they make a mistake, making no attempt to shield the viewer and protect the wrestler?
