8 Ways TKO Has RUINED WWE

1. Netflix Era Chuds

One's well en route to becoming a WWE main eventer and his brand was the very first one to appear on company canvasses when the change was made to slap advertisements everywhere the eye could see, but Logan Paul is the least of the concerns when looking upon a standard edition of Raw or SmackDown now. The front row's where the other heels are situated.

Andrew Shulz turned back up at Madison Square Garden to temporarily look like the hardest guy in the room when a fight broke out between The Judgment Day and some sports stars in November. Bert Kreischer was tearing his shirt off shortly before WrestleMania, Tom Segura took a break from using the R-slur to describe wrestling fans to promote his show on Raw, and Tony Hinchliffe's racially insensitive remarks across multiple performances and years earned him a spot as the host of the infamous Roast Of WrestleMania and infamously cancelled "Late Night With Tony Hinchliffe" special that didn't happen over SummerSlam weekend. 

These chuds and others like them were long platformed and red-carpeted at UFC events, and with many of them plugging Netflix-based properties, the presence on on WWE television under the TKO banner as been perfect cross-promotion.

The promotion has never been a-political regardless of whatever it professed over the years, but not until recent time has it so flagrantly nailed its colours to the mast via the endless slew of this bro-coded losers and their terrible vibes.
