10 Things WWE need to do for their wrestlers

Over eight years ago, during the lead up to the 2008 US presidential election, the WWE decided to capitalize on the major media focus on the front running Democratic party candidates, namely Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama.

Using two 'ringers' who were trained wrestlers, the WWE had the two duke it out in effigy in a WWE ring. However, the segment was not well received by the fans in attendance, who booed, jabbed their thumbs down repeatedly, and chanted "we want wrestling."

While many of the WWE's backstage antics and skits can be quite entertaining, at the end of the day fans tune in to see the wrestling matches.

Much like MCU fans tune in to see Iron Man blast bad guys with his repulsor rays, WWE fans tune in to see suplexes, headlocks, and haymakers.

The fact remains that many talented in-ring performers aren't always the best at speaking on camera, learning scripted lines, or participating in chicanery. Not to mention that every promo, skit, or stunt involves time taken away from in-ring action.

By focusing on the wrestling, WWE can put more performers on every show and avoid letting down their talented wrestlers who were pre-empted for yet another backstage shenanigan.
