I thought to myself that WWE needs to have a Superman Jobber.
Think of a high energy, intense in-ring worker and/or seller who's great at getting his ass kicked, and selling moves like death. He usually loses matches in ways that are usually either depressing or hilarious, yet will pull a John Cena by shrugging off the losses and moving on. Maybe someone like Alex Riley, Tyson Kidd, or Evan Bourne could play the role.
The character is intended to be a kiddie hero who promotes fair competition and accepting losses with grace. BUT, he also encourages kids to stand up for themselves and will kick the heel's ass if he acts like a bully or a sore winner.
Example....
The jobber in question is in the ring getting ready for his match. His opponent is Mark Henry. He puts up some fight, but Henry destroys him in less than two minutes.
After the match, the jobber's reaction is something along the lines of "Golly gee whiz Mark. You split my wig real good. I'll remember to pay the air bill on time next month, I promise. Good game."
The jobber offers Henry a handshake.
Henry: "GET THAT MESS OUT MY FACE!"
Left with no other option the jobber dropkicks Henry and bolts from the ring. He stands on the stage giving a cheesy smile and thumbs up, saying "Good game, Mark. Good game."
Henry is left in the ring pissed, screaming out "THAT WHITE BOY PUT HIS HANDS ON ME!!!"
I think it would be a good idea. You have a character that can be a role model to the kids. WWE has an actual excuse to job someone out ridiculously, but it doesn't hurt them too bad because their actual character is booked to just bounce back from the losses.
