This is a bit like someone telling you the prostitute doesn't really love you just cos she sucked your...
WWE don't reward the best technical wrestlers and guys like Tyson Kidd go un-noticed and Daniel Bryan plays a comedy role because that's what makes WWE money. The sad truth is that the people who are most likely to appreciate great in ring psychology, story telling, masterful selling and inventive move sets are the least likely to sell out shows buy all the T-shirts, promo cups, wrist bands, foam fingers etc. There was a show on British TV recently (on BBC4 I caught it on iPlayer) that basically spelled out that promotions lose money when they push the less charismatic but technically better wrestlers. Of course if they go too far the other way they'll fail too but WWE are nowhere near "too far the other way".
It's time the IWC sacked up and was more pragmatic, would you rather see Daniel Bryan as a comedy millionaire or Bryan Danielson the dead hard, serious indie guy sleeping in his car? Daniel Bryan owns every inch of his gimmick and will do so whatever WWE give him because he's a great wrestler and a great sports entertainer. Tyson Kidd doesn't get pushed because he's got a funny Canadian face and is dull as ditch water on the mic. Zack Ryder got a chance and put on some lazy matches so WWE buried him again. Brodus Clay dances with kids because Funkasaurus merch sells where as "monster with limited wrestling skills" merch sits on the table stinking up the place.
WWE don't love you but they will suck you cock for money. If you don't like it stop paying.
(I know that was only vaguely on topic: Punk is very good at bringing real world elements into his promos, it's why he's at the top. Just like Daniel Bryan, he's not really out to turn WWE into ROH he's doing what he needs to to be great at WWE and after 6 years with the company Vince clearly knows him well enough to know whatever Punk says is just what he needs to say to get over, just like a true sports entertainer should.)
