With the exception of Cena & the part time wrestlers none are looked at as anything special. In other words the regular roster is just basically filler to fill up a show.
Kevin Owens is seen as just another guy on the roster. He's not a threat at all anymore since he loses constantly now. It'll take many months to re-build him now after what they did to him. Rollins has been booked terrible as champ & isn't threatening at all. Ambrose has lost every feud he's been in since being a singles wrestler. Rusev lost to Cena 3 times & is now in some awful feud with Ziggler that is doing nothing at all for him. Sheamus returned with a new look, theme, as a heel & won MITB but basically loses every other match he's in it seems like. His MITB win momentum is ruined. Barrett wins KOTR which has done nothing for him since he loses almost every match he's in & wins the matches that don't mean anything. Cesaro has gained some momentum but it doesn't even matter since what Vince said in the Austin podcast about him basically shows he doesn't think he's capable of being a star. I could go on & on throughout pretty much the entire roster. But why does WWE think we should even care about any of these guys when none of them are even doing anything of importance & are made to look weak?

Nothing wrong with just two hosses locking up eye to eye in the middle of that ring saying "1 am" to determine who's the better man.

Wrestlings fake. And WWE is written poorly by entertainment standards. Stop watching. Or quit bitching and accept it. I was forced to quit watching and although it took some time to adjust I'm the better go it

I was forced to quit watching and although it took some time to adjust I'm the better go it I'm down to just watching Raw & the PPVs. At times I really do question why I still watch at all, but I've been watching for so long that it's hard to just stop watching altogether.

I haven't watched more than a few minutes here and there for months. Haven't missed it at all. Wrestling fans are weird. I was spending three hours every Monday night watching something that I thought sucked, all for memories of something I loved and hope that it would be there again.

Speaking for myself, I look at it the same way I look at real sport. I gravitate towards the guys and girls whose wrestling style or promos I like, and I support them in their matches. If they win, that's great. If they don't, it sucks but there's always next time. If they get involved in featured matches or feuds, or win titles, then awesome.
I guess it's very easy for me to care about people since I try not to factor upward momentum or WWE propaganda into it the same way a lot of people seem to. I mean, I don't need WWE's "permission" to support someone by virtue of a megapush or commentary asskissing. I can make my own damn mind up.

I mean, you're not. They've even made that abundantly clear on the television show.

I see it like SNL. Sometimes its all rubbish but sometimes there's a skit that was funny. Was it worth staying up to watch SNL instead of doing something else? no, but it was live so i watched. I'm a sucker for live stuff.

WWE doesn't even care about 99% of its wrestlers.

This is why the WWE does so many screwjob finishes. Every loss is a burial. For every clean win, there has to be a clean loss, and that's a lot of burials.

I could go on & on throughout pretty much the entire roster. But why does WWE think we should even care about any of these guys when none of them are even doing anything of importance & are made to look weak? Right before WM 31, I predicted something like this would happen, that he whole roster would get nerfed. Why? "We need to make Roman look strong." They did the same thing for Cena in the mid 2000, making everyone else look bad, or irrelevant, in order to build him up to Super Cena status. They gave us no other superstars to root for but Cena and they're trying to use the same formula again now. The only problem is Roman isn't getting over and Cena won't get out of the spotlight. IMO, Sheamus is just a red herring with the MITB briefcase, and he's keeping it warm for Roman. They knew the crowd would boo the shit out of Roman winning MITB, so they gave it to Sheamus, who got no reaction upon winning. They only book around Cena, and Roman, everyone else is filler, just like you said.
