Look we're talking about wrestling here, a business where guys bitch and bitch when they're coming up that they can't get a job and the top guys hold them down then as soon as they get in the spot they turn around and do the same thing. The only top guy who never complained or refused to do jobs was Rock.
Then throw on top of that, that this is the WWE. A company that could careless how over a wrestler is with the crowd they'd rather push their chosen ones 20 times until he's over. And Vince will always have his big man fetish so a big bodybuilder looking plodder will be given 22 chances while other guys get one.
I can really go on and on about all the things the WWE has done to make it where they choose who's over. 'WWE style" is a good example of this if you make everyone wrestle the same it's impossible for someone to get over on ring work. When you script everyone's promo it's impossible for a superior mic worker to stand out on natural charisma.
The WWE is about who Vince wants to be a star and telling the fans to like it, not the other way around. Not to mention the company pecking order is a giant deal there, in WCW guys got held down but no one cared how anyone wrestled so guys went out and put on matches they'd just get stuck in a spot and not be able to move.
In the WWE not only will you get stuck in a spot, but if you were to go out and put on a great match as a low midcarder opening the show a guy like Taker would throw a total bitch fit about how "that curtain jerker is showing is up". That's where I think the 'WWE Style" comes from. It's an easy way to take a great worker and really limit his ability to get over on ring work.
Also for what I said earlier about the misogynistic comment and what was given back...people don't hate Stephanie because she's a woman. People hate her because she's a shitass booker that only has that job because of her last name. People hate Russo to he's not a woman...
