#2 Booking babyfaces right

Babyfaces were as badass as the heels in ECW

How often do we see WWE fans cheer for the heels (case in point JeriKO) over the babyface (Reigns)? The point to note is this - WWE at heart is still the simulation of a combat sport, and hence, the audience comes to the arena to satiate their inner bloodthirst.
Hence, clean cut babyfaces do not get over at all, in today’s era. Be it RVD, or Tommy Dreamer, ECW’s babyfaces were as tough, if not tougher than the heels. Especially in the case of booking Roman Reigns, WWE can learn a thing (or two) from the now defunct ECW.
