These are all very good points, but if the WWE actually tried to market their product with their premier superstars portrayed as rule breakers, cocky bastards, and loudmouths, I think it would only be a matter of time before different groups would be breathing down their necks (F.C.C., Mothers Against Fake Fighting, whoever the fuck).
While it is obviously clear that the fans want to cheer the heels, I honestly think it's just a business move to cover their own asses to continue playing faces as super nice dillholes. It's hard enough to defend a product as 'questionable' as the WWE without being overt about what you're doing, though it is obviously in fact what you're doing. I hope that makes sense, I'm floating here.
So yeah, I think that you're right, and I think that the WWE knows that. Ultimately, doesn't it seem like the heels get more airtime anyway? Or is that just me? However, they have to keep somewhat of a 'clean' image just so they don't catch shit from all of the footwashers...
...or maybe I'm looking too far into it. Anybody agree?
