Why WWE?! Why?! [Archive]

WWE claims to be all about the fans & that's what they should be about. But numerous times they've ignored what the "WWE Universe" wants.
Why is Zack Ryder jobbing?
Why hasn't a fued between Goldust & Cody Rhodes not happened?
Why did we get an 18 second WM match between Sheamus & DB?
Why hasn't Hawkins & Reks made it on TV yet? ( They're only the best tag team right now)
Why isn't John Cena a heel?
There's more occasions than just these, add to and discuss this list.

Why is Zack Ryder jobbing?

I wouldn't say Ryder is jobbing, as such. You never know what's going to happen.

Why hasn't a fued between Goldust & Cody Rhodes not happened?

Because Cody has bigger fish to fry.

Why did we get an 18 second WM match between Sheamus & DB?

So the current Sheamus/Bryan fued could continue. Also, so that AJ could have a good enough reason for flying solo now and with a new side to her.

Why hasn't Hawkins & Reks made it on TV yet? ( They're only the best tag team right now)

They have made it to TV. Watch NXT.

Why isn't John Cena a heel?

Because it's good for buisness.

For the past 3 weeks, Ryder has been a jobber. I hope that it doesn't stay that way. Maybe it'll change tonight.

Cody may be on the rise. But I think I can speak for the majority of people when I say we want to see a Goldust v. Cody fued. And who's to say that having that fued won't get Cody over as main eventer. I mean he's still fueding for IC championship.

You don't have to have an 18 second match at WM to continue the fued. You could've easily had a quality match with AJ interfering at the end.

And please don't call NXT tv. It's only availabe in the US & online.

The easiest answer for the 18 second match is the WWE wanted the record to be broken and never were high on Daniel Bryan as champion. If Orton and Henry didn't get hurt during his reign, Bryan doesn't hold the belt past the Rumble.

The Ryder one is a bit more puzzling but makes sense once the low ratings came in and he took the punishment out of the Internet group (Punk, Bryan, Ryder). The good news for Ryder is at least he's still selling merchandise so the WWE won't just toss him out of tv for a while now that he's recovered from his "injury."

The others are only what a small part of the fanebase wants (ex. Hawkins) or the WWE still doesn't feel comfortable replacing Cena as top face.

Getting beaten up for 3 weeks does not make someone a jobber.

If that were the case, John Cena would currently be a jobber.

fucking "why has a Goldust and Cody Rhodes feud not happened". You realize that most people in the audience at RAW right now would have no clue that they're even related?

You act like they've never mentioned they're related. What about after the Rhodes-Booker T fued when they had multiple backstage segments

I'll bite.

Why is Zack Ryder jobbing?
Losing a few matches doesn't make you Sal Sincere. Your favorite talent WILL lose matches. It's called a storyline. Deal with it.

Also, Ryder made himself popular via the internet and his little show. NOT through his in-ring work or mic work. Think about that.

Why hasn't a fued between Goldust & Cody Rhodes not happened?

Let's assume most casual fans actually DO know they're related. (They don't.) Who would this fued help? It will make Cody look bad because Goldust was never particularly relevant -- I think his biggest fued was with Val Venis -- so at best if Cody wins the feud he beat a has-been. At worst, he loses the feud and gets beat by a never-was. Cody doesn't benefit in any way.

Why did we get an 18 second WM match between Sheamus & DB?

Because the script said so.

Why hasn't Hawkins & Reks made it on TV yet? ( They're only the best tag team right now)

Who?
Jokes aside, many casual fans don't know who they are, and even a lot of people who do know who they are don't care. WWE has zero emphasis on tag wrestling, and it's been that way for years.

Why isn't John Cena a heel?

It's better for business for him to be a face.

Oh yeah, one more thing...

WWE claims to be all about the fans & that's what they should be about. But numerous times they've ignored what the "WWE Universe" wants.

Are you dense? They give the fans what they want in terms of providing entertainment. It doesn't mean they're going to cater every storyline to what random jerkoffs with no ideas about how booking actually works. It's a business, not fan service. Fans have to not get what they think they want a lot of the time, so they appreciate it when they DO get what they want.

I do what I can. :)

(Honestly, I almost instinctively went with the Brawler at first, then decided he was too overdone. It came down to being between Sal and Barry Horrowitz. You know, the guy who proved the reverse is also true -- winning a few matches doesn't make you not a jobber.)

I think he was supposed to as Sal, until that bastard Mero pulled a shoot and outed him. Completely derailed the plans for Tom. A shame really. We needed a good smarmy Italian stereotype for a credible title run.

Yeah, the WWE never listens to its fans, you know the ones that cheer all the people on the card higher than your few stupid references.

Do you really think Reks and Hawkins are at all over or draws? COME ON. Ryder only gets TV time because he sells merchandise. The same reason why Santino has been getting a huge push of late, because he is moving merchandise.

Who in their right mind would buy a Hawkins and Reks shirt. Or Replica Cane. Or Fake Dreadlocks.

NO ONE.

Why would feuding with an old retired Goldust do anything more for Cody than feuding with the BIGGEST man in the company, one who has been main eventing for years.

Why would they turn their biggest money maker Heel when they can push him face and bring in Lesnar and the Rock to drive the non Cena fans to buy?

A Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust feud would be entertaining television, but would probably do more for Dustin than Cody at this point. I'd like to see it once Cody wins back the Intercontinental Title, though.

But then again, I also want to see Cody feud with Chris Jericho, turn babyface and then challenge Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. Cody is cash money.
