Why so serious? Is that required of a WWE Champ?

If Ryder stops being goofy....
If Kofi stops smiling...
If Santino drops the cobra act...

Is being serious or a bad ass really required to be a credible champ?

Granted Mick Foley was known before he became a champ, but Mankind was really goofy (socko) when he won those titles.

Kofi and Ryder are credible with the fans now, so why change them? Wouldn't they be a cookie cutter champion if they became serious? Why not keep the persona and just win the match because they are good?

Embracing the deception is more than Psych lyric, its why I enjoy wrestling... try it.
