What WWE Don’t Want You To See On TV
3. Not Everyone Is Over
WWE will absolutely go out of its way to convince you that every single talent on the company's roster is 'over'.
Watching Raw, SmackDown or even Main Event will have you believing that fans care about every WWE performer. The cold, hard reality, mind, is that there are sadly some wrestlers who people couldn't give a solitary shiny sh*t about.
The truth of the matter is, if you're on, say, Main Event, there's only a slither of a chance that people are going to respond to your shtick whatsoever. But it's not just the B and C shows that this is applicable to, for plenty talents on main WWE programming don't elicit anywhere near the response that their TV presentation would have you believe.
That's not to say that the no-reaction-generating talents aren't good workers; it's more a testament to how little WWE has done to get people to care about these wrestlers.
Vince McMahon's company has long been at a point where they expect to put somebody on TV and the crowd immediately cheer or boo for them - regardless of how little has been done to establish the characteristics of these grapplers, and regardless of WWE presenting its audience with zero reason to be in the slightest bit invested in these acts.
