Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
The thing that the guy who's there to suck says about the Shield debut and how "we chose Roman" is pretty funny, because last time I mentioned the Shield debut, 21 Hoot Salute posted the reactions from the time:

Yeah, but we're smarks, not fans.

Remember that WWE thinks that it's fans worth celebrating are the non-smart ones who aren't on the internet. You know, the people who are casual fans, and just watch 6 hours weekly + all PPVs, that trifling time investment. But aren't necessarily heavily invested enough to discuss online, or look up information ever.

The best is the sign reads "& Virgil" with means that banner was made for someone along with Virgil, and he just folded/cut the banner in half.


Kind of disappointed The Rock-n-Roll Express didn't destroy the statue to the cheers of the crowd.

In the warehouse is my guess, then they trot them out once a year for Wrestlemania. Which might just be some brilliant metaphor for the Legends, if you think about it.

Actually I remember reading a while back that during brand splits, WWE is actually counting on fans having loyalty to one brand or another, and only watching their preferred one. That's why Smackdown is always the workhorse show for smarks and Raw is always the garbage show for garbage people. So their flagship show still gets most of their casual viewership but SDL is for appeasing the critics.

WWE is definitely way worse about it, but all of the major sports have issues with 'our leadership are out of touch and arrogant, and feel that fans will watch them no matter what, even if they insult them and actively try to make their product less entertaining'

Probably because WWE's leadership goes on TV weekly to demean and insult the audience and performers.

Engaging fans isn't part of Bettman's job.

He's really good at his job, that's why he sucks. His job is to be terrible, because he's the representative of a bunch of rich old idiots.
