It's the pretty boy effect.
Ain't nobody who'd say they'd fuck Steve Austin except women back in the day.
Same goes for Bradshaw, Undertaker, Ron Simmons, Kane.
But look at today's talent. You'd sooner find them in a girly magazine than Shawn Michaels.
It's absolutely incredible how gay they look.
But that's with purpose and intent. Vince wants athletic 10s to impress the TV people.
The TV people want gays.
They don't want badass rednecks or deadmen from Texas.
The TV people want a Texan wrestler to be some sôi-sipping photoshop playtoy from Austin who supports liberal views.
They don't want a Georgian wrestler to apply holds and drink bourbon.
The TV people want a Georgian wrestler to talk smack like an LA OG set tripper, like his skin colour implies.
But maybe more importantly, in order to hire a depressed redneck, you've got to find a depressed redneck who wants to wrestle the sanitised style of the WWE.
The ONLY big stars that were WWE-made over the last 20 years were Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton. The rest got pushed out of the ass without merit, or meandered into the WWE from another promotion carrying strong upward momentum which the E promptly discharged into an early grave.
