Lol, I know you're a troll, but you can do so by making valid points and not just blowing them out of the water yourself.

They don’t have to please fans. They have to please investers. The goal isn’t making compelling television. It’s “how do we tap in to this market, or that market.”
I hate the "ratings aren't as important as they used to be" argument. If you're on a media platform then how many people access you via that platform is important. It's not the only metric as to how people consume content, but it's an excellent gauge as to how many people consume content through television, which is where WWE are making their money. If people stop watching SmackDown on television then they've got a problem.

It's partly creative, but it's also the talent. Everyone is so robotic, and it's not just because they are scripted. It's partially because they have sponsors to suck up to. It's partially because they've all been trained a similar way and told to value the same spots and style. It's partially because there's an emphasis on performing moves and not sucking in people emotionally to the work. Some of the women are over with their crowd, but others just aren't. And some are, frankly, shit. It is largely the same with the men -- on the main philosophical level anyway -- but generally the men aren't nearly as inexperienced and rushed up to the main roster because of their ass as the women are. But yes, they don't have to please fans right now.
