They take bumps on the head.
The CTE alone will make you retarded.
Second reason is that a high IQ is not a prerequisite to being a good worker.
If anything there's a shortage of high IQ guys in the business, because being an athletic 10 is the primary prerequisite and tonnes of smart guys aren't athletes.
The third reason is that wrestling is a social media business now. You've got to work marks on Twitter, and that means letting the normiesphere dictate what a babyface is these days.
Meaning that a babyface is an abortion-endorsing pedophile who supports trans rights, and a heel is a Trump-voting conservative. It's the complete opposite of wrestling 40 years ago. 30 years ago. 20 fucking years ago even.
And looking at the zeitgeist of today and how few people watch wrestling now, those two roles should still be the reverse of what today's talent are doing.
You can tell this reason's particularly prevalent in AEW by how MJF's slowly making a babyface turn and rushes to the defense of retarded bullshit other faces are doing, by Kennetty Osmegma and CuM Punk endorsing trans rights on TV.
But the WWE are no stranger to "riding the tiger" straight into a ditch either.
