I can understand why they have all the locker room rules. So people don’t treat it like a joke, even though it’s fake. But it strikes me often as high school shit among adults. Makes me glad I never wanted to get into that business.
Dead-on
The average pro wrestlers used to be misfits with a strong penchant for violence, drugs and sex. They were also on copious amounts of AAS.
Basically kids the size of dinosaurs

It’s extremely cliquish. It’s been proven you can get over on your own and be pushed but it’s often the other way. I really enjoy Ricochet and Balor but it seems these guys aren’t trusted/favored enough. Or look at Becky Lynch, who was the most over star they had and when she left for her pregnancy they stopped her push.
He is a great in-ring performer, but since someone leaked a footage of him furiously fingering his asshole, I can no longer take him seriously 🤣🤣
Pretty sure it was some form of retaliation from management, but fuck me, I can't remember why.
What I will say though is many career fields are the same in the aspect of it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Being likable and easy to work with tends to help more than actually being competent at you job (again this isn’t in every case). WWE just seems more obvious on how they conduct their business.
Very true.
I still remember to this day how Stone Cold KILLED Lance Storm's career with one single promo on Monday Night Raw.
I have zero clue as to whether it was intentional, but man, the end result was absolutely devastating.
