9 Wrestling Stipulations That Are Better Than Getting Fired
7. Team Cena Assigned To Perform Menial Tasks
Remember when Carlito was given random tasks by Teddy Long? He was made to do menial tasks such as shoveling snow and selling hot-dogs? Though his angle was more comical in nature, if Team Cena members were to lose, then they would also suffer such a fate; though there would be nothing funny about it. While some fans might notice some similarities between this idea and the current Bella servant angle, this punishment would be taken far further, due in part to the excellent heel character played by Stephanie McMahon. Wrestling does have its embarrassing moments, and wrestlers do have lots of pride in what they do. For them to be humiliated by performing the lowest of tasks would gain them sympathy from the crowd, and also make the Authority even bigger heels than they already are. Imagine Dolph Ziggler, one of the best and most popular athletes in WWE, forced to sell merchandise during the show, and to perform in embarrassing handicap matches. This would be done in the hopes if building more sympathy towards Ziggler, who is a bigger underdog than anyone else on his team. Furthermore, it would give older and more hurt wrestlers like Cena something to do without getting physically involved. Despite his intense commitment to WWE, Cena has been working hurt for a long time now, and has had multiple surgeries. For him to take some time away from the ring and instead take a little embarrassment would be good for his health and good for building the Authority as an even bigger heel stable.
