Raven: Honestly, it's simple basic psychology there. Here's what the stupid kids today don't get. This is the whole concept of the business in a nutshell and this is WWE style. The babyface outwrestles the heel. He outwrestles because he is either a little better, he's got a little more heart, a little more intestinal fortitude, so he outwrestles the heel. The heel finally has to cheat because the heel is either deep down a coward, an arrogant b*stard, he has some fault or foible that is exposed, so finally because he can't get the advantage because the babyface is either a little bit better or has a little more hearth, he cheats. Now he has some heat. Then he can beat the crap out of him and get the heat. Boom boom boom boom boom. Heat. Finally, when the babyface has had enough through sheer intestinal fortitude and the people are getting behind him, and that emotional connection is there, he has a big comeback. It's that simple. That's the business. And the whole match is geared and based toward the comeback. And that's why you have to have faces and heels like I talked about before, because a match is built toward a comeback. You keep delaying the gratification until the right moment, and then when it's the right moment you blow the big comeback and that's how the people get their rocks off.
you can not have a mainevent heel in the wwe, who is not perceived and liked as much as a face.
it has been that way since, savage.
they whiffed on it, with the original rock.
all from muraco cause of racism and color.
plus, they damaged the general perception of the typical heel.
by having the typical heel lose in cornball disgusting fashion during the hogan versus heenan era.
yet, with savage...
savage was liked, as a heel.
plus, he always did the elbow.
wwe's heel dynamic is built on soap opera based ideals.
around something more than just wrasslin workrate psychology.
wrasslin workrate psychology of the heel and face has been different in the indies.
since the indy heros saved wrasslin.
hence, why only the roh guys in wwe get over generally, and organically from a grassroots dynamic.
not the soap opera based ideals, in general.
when, given a soap opera based program even if it is bad.
the roh guys will get over because they have a higher understanding of what is to it.
since, the indy heros that saved wrasslin came around in 2001.
plus, damn near created the draw for mainstream streaming video outside of porn.
caesaro is going to stay over.
despite jobb'n to everyone possible in the past three weeks on the domestic aired cable shows.
regardless, of if he uses the swing or not.
as he is not just over from the swing.
he is over because, smarts hold wrasslin crowds hostage and make fans like the roh guys.
by sheer imposing will, in the crowd.
those chants and pops are all manipulated by the smarts in the crowd.
as a matter of fact, anyone who gets over in the wwe.
is from smarts imposing their will, and the wwe tries to fight it but it won't work because they are inept.
they know nuffin about where or what wrasslin is, outside of having a tax id, and publically traded company.
from cutting rosters and payroll, and using a fake profit.
to try to front like they know what they are doing.
