Cornette makes a good obvious point about the sympathy thing. They try to get everyone over the same way. There's no thought of "does this work for this specific guy" anymore. Outside of Lesnar, every heel has to be a chicken shit at least occasionally and every face has to be sympathetic.
Reigns should not be getting his ass kicked constantly to get over as a face. Cena should not have been getting his ass kicked constantly to get over as a face. It doesn't fit them. It fits a Daniel Bryan type. Let the smaller guys get the sympathy and the muscled up beasts be muscled up fucking beasts.
Ryback should have told them everything they need to know. He got massively over just kicking ass to the point where as soon as he faced off with the heel everyone wanted to see get their shit kicked in, the crowd backed him INSTANTLY. He became "their guy". So they respond by making him look weak. He was still over to some extent because they never pushed him to the moon at that point but... it's just so fucking simple. It's insane how this company doesn't learn from what works and what doesn't.
