Former WWE Superstar Maria Kanellis posted to Twitter, body slamming WWE for their lack of new, marquee stars. She also commented on WWE’s short term ratings boosts.
WWE doesnt want to build new stars, they want to spike the ratings for a couple weeks to keep the investors/networks happy. What WWE doesn’t seem to get, is ratings improve when people care about the story/stars. Invest in talent, spend the time building stars, stop the laziness.

Hahahaha… one night is not building stars. One night pops the ratings. One night uses talented individuals as cannon fodder. Talk to me about the same people in a year and I will eat my words. Key word, people not person. https://t.co/I5er9w60H5

I tried to because I thought it would be better while pregnant but they wanted to keep me as talent. Maybe someday if the right opportunity came along. It could work. https://t.co/8trvleaitQ

Hahaha… no. They have fantastic writers there but they are not given anyway to showcase what they can do. Great scripts are torn up moments before the show. #mariathewriter #givemethepen https://t.co/fmBdREeuIL
