If everyone looked like a million bucks? That would suck too. You get some "body guys" that are the raging shits. Wrestling has always fueled itself on larger than life personalities and honest-to-God charisma. Who on the roster is actually genuinely charismatic? There are a few guys that seem to be hitting all cylinders in NXT (Joe, Roode, Nakamura) but we've seen that the ability to lead the Full Sail audience doesn't always translate to the main roster.
But you also need some pieces of shit to make the great guys look good. You need your lugs that haven't put it all together yet. You need your guys that are all promo, or all ring work. You need that variety so a hierarchy emerges, and whoever is booking/writing/producing can look at a few guys and say "Right, this guy here; this guy there; that girl here." Sometimes if an act is hot, you need to send it away so that it doesn't fizzle before it plays out and then you can never go back.
Give me guys like John Cena and Bobby Roode, but also give me Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura. And give me these guys from NXT who look like a million bucks and send them on a winning streak -- one on RAW and one on SmackDown. Hire some ugly girls to fight the pretty ones. If someone is getting booed by the crowd, TURN THEM HEEL!
