Do they have some sort of death wish? They must, or maybe their wires aren't connected.
Mick Foley's a large part of it too. Remember all those times WWF/E showed Foley doing his jump off the roof? They glorified some really stupid shit. Shit even Foley himself thinks was stupid.

They've played it up with Jeff Hardy and Shane O'Mac, a couple of people who are only good as bump machines.

ECW may have something to do with it as well, but ECW hasn't been around as long as Backyard wrestling in general, and the WWF/E's done plenty to make stupid shit look cool.
