This is the "logic" that was implemented by Vince Russo. Everybody knows it's a work. Let's go out there and throw out the script, brother. Treating your audience like morons is to not even try and make your shit believable.

You know what -- everybody shits too. Maybe we should just show everybody shitting all the time? And you know what else? Sometimes people sit at home and do nothing. Maybe instead of a show about things happening, we should show someone sitting on a couch doing nothing for the full duration of the episode. Because it would be, you know, like real life, bro. People know this shit is a work, bro. We should just go out there and wink to them and then do some stuff in slow motion so they all know that we all know that they know, so they, you know, can't get upset at us because they think we don't think they know.

Here's the thing about "art" that tries to be bad: It's not that fucking clever or cute. At the end of the day, that is treating your audience like morons, because what you are actually giving them is a lack of effort, instead of trying to do something good and actually delivering them. A great script about a piece of shit is always going to be better than a piece of shit script about a great script. Don't even get me started on a piece of shit script about a piece of shit.

Alexa Bliss is a heel -- you are supposed to hate her. Of course she has parents, you fucking morons. Hitler had parents. Godwinn had parents. That doesn't mean you need to show them cheering on their baby girl for the feels. What is the point? What are you actually achieving? Destor is right when he says that wrestling has changed -- heels and faces don't properly exist anymore. And guess what -- wrestling sucks because of it. Because no one is going to invest in the good girl playing fake bad wrestler.
