Good luck w/ that...
That sounds ludicrous, but with the WWE's mission to gain more and more mainstream attention, and their active mentality to be as shitty as possible, this sort of negative perception is going to get more and more prevalent. Reinstating an open racist, taking Saudi money as they lock up women for daring to drive and executing homosexuals, promoting their female talent as equal and then paying them less, treating their black talent like two-dimensional caricatures, them not having a union, etc. This is a shitty, shitty company. They have a history of being shit. Someone pointed out a history of tasteless things they have done like that proves a point about the newer stuff. Okay? More and more people are going to get wind of that.

Sure, a lot of them are clueless about the product. This isn't something people with taste watch. It's awful television with plot-holes out the ass. We're a particular brand of nerd and we hate it a lot of the time. They're going to say things that sound really dumb to wrestling fans, but in the broad strokes they are going to be completely correct -- WWE is pretty cunty for hiring back an open racist in order to milk a quick buck from its fly-catching fan-base. They are planning more Saudi propaganda shows. Charlotte Flair is probably not paid as well as Randy Orton despite being more crucial to the WWE's crucial story arcs of 2018 and probably 2019.

And that perception can become toxic for advertisers and investors. Maybe not a large scale right away, but social progression has seen businesses drop relationships with the NRA in recent months, and animal rights has led to the closing down of at least one major circus. If enough people say "Fuck it, we're not going to buy Snickers as long as Hogan is employed by WWE," that could soon turn into "Fuck it, we're not going to watch anything on USA or FOX for as long as they keep television deals with Vince McMahon." Consumers are active agents and if the perception of WWE is "Fucking gross, who would support this awful company?", well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
