"Shake my hand!

*Clap clap clap-clap-clap*

Sadly yeah, WWE is rather big to just have one booker running multiple shows a week, so they hire "writers". However, none of them know how to book a fucking competent pro wrestling show. There is a reason people are jumping ship to New Japan the last couple of years.
who all is jumping ship that WWE hasn't let go?

They just 1 billion in TV deals
They're getting 50 million from Saudi Arabia
They're allowing Hogan back, and letting him speak to wrestlers backstage
They have an award named after a known bigot
They were ready to name a trophy after a pimp
Vince helped cover up a murder
They celebrate the Kliq despite them being absolutely awful people
Stephanie & HHH can't go 5 minutes without making anything about themsleves, and how they're some super wise business person
They had a man help a woman win the first money in the bank
His wife sits on the small business board for Trump
They donated 7 million to trump

There's plenty of shit there to take the company down

There is a lot of shit to be mad about with WWE but the end to that MITB match was frankly a brilliant way to get massive heat and it worked.

Dont worry, WWE is already doing itself in. Used to be the land of giants and now it's a bunch of scrawny little crossfit cultists

It was bad cheap heat and an incredibly dumb way to diminish that moment

Cheap heat is dunking on the local sports team. This helped propel Carmella's credibility as a main event player in the Women's division just for being associated with Ellsworth. Using Ellsworth again to get the first pin victory over Asuka was also fantastic. Also, it didn't diminish anything. The fact that they had the match and they were given time for the match is the actual victory for the women here. Finishes in wrestling matches are nothing but plot devices to help move storylines along.

A historical moment for women's wrestling will forever feature a woman needing a man's help to win. Save that shit for Raw

Is this gaining any traction in the media?
Not anywhere where the company will take a hit. Hypothetically say something happened, they'll just suspend Orton for a few months and he'll be back. Given Randy's schedule he'll be cool with it.

There's so much ammo to take this company down that if it were going to happen it probably would have happened by now. Fans just don't care enough. If they don't care enough to change a lot of the bullshit the company's done so far then they won't care enough for this.
