8 Awful Lessons WWE Programming Has Taught Fans

3. Mysterio Teaches Kids To Lose

This should be referred to as the Disney€™s Mighty Ducks syndrome. The idea is that if you want something bad enough and you try hard enough, you can do anything you want. That€™s not true at all though. If you want to be a singer but you don€™t have a good voice, it doesn€™t matter how hard you try or how hard you want it, you€™ll never be a professional singer. This is teaching people to never give up on something if you want it bad enough, which is a great lesson, but it€™s also teaching people that by never giving up they€™ll definitely win in the end, which is almost never true. Sometimes knowing that you€™re 5€™2€ and the guy standing across from you is 7€™1€ of solid muscle is enough information to have to know you€™re never, ever going to win. The outline of this story is David versus Goliath, where the underdog wins because he wants to win bad enough despite his shortcomings. Except what people don't seem to understand is that David won the fight because he brought a projectile weapon to a knife fight, and Goliath couldn't get close enough to him to win. Rey Mysterio is bringing his fists to a fist fight, and should be grounded and pounded by the Great Khali within seconds, period. The argument that Rey is faster and can use high flying moves to his advantage is moot when you consider than The Great Khali is built like a brick wall and Rey weighs slightly heavier than the wettest feather ever. In the real world, it€™s important to know that when the footing is equal, Goliath will always win.
