WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Sept 20)

2. This Is NOT Entertainment

Hunter and Steph continued to be the most confusing and destructive characters in the history of WWE this week. In the opening segment, they cut a babyface promo hyping up the crowd. Moments later, they were dancing with heel group New Day (her father later Tweeted a video of this, saying the E is for entertainment, because the man loves his nepotism). The two then went back to being heels in a segment with Hunter booking Sheamus against Cena, then, back to faces with the Connor the Crusher video. Steph then went back to being in face-land for the Divas segment by ordering a re-match at Night of Champions. She remained a face for a children€™s hospital visit video, and then back to heel-town by encouraging The Big Show to destroy babyface Sting. This all happened in ONE night. This is awful. This is stupid. This is incomprehensibly bad how no one in upper-management can realize how showing the heels as anything but horrible people is BAD FOR BUSINESS! On SmackDown, they showed Brie in another Connor video literally less than a minute before we saw her backstage as a heel planning Nikki's party! How can we boo her? She visits children in the hospital! Killing suspension of disbelief is killing this company slowly, one corporate video at a time. Helping out kids is awesome. But keep it off air! The company bragging about their charity work is undermining their own ability to draw money in the future. If the videos must be shown, then there are over 40 babyfaces on the roster they could have chosen to be in them. It does not matter that people know that wrestling is fake. It matters that WWE is ruining their own narrative, willingly, on their own show and making it impossible to get invested in their own characters. This lazy, idiotic way of booking a wrestling show in 2015 is leading to 1995 ratings.
