When Babyfaces Give Advice Does It Come Off As Patronizing?

[ratetankmark]

Sometimes when-ever a babyface gives a new star a piece of advice it comes across as patronizing at times, when they try and lecture someone on they "Bad Attitude" or saying that they "Need To Learn Respect" or other generic babyface phrases, people like Cena and Jerry Lawler always say crap like that.

Do you know of any segments when a babyface has come across as an insincere prick when talking to a lower level member of the roster?

Just Kurt Angle in 2000, but that was on purpose.

Isn't that basically Ryback's whole gimmick?
Although I'm not even sure if he counts as a babyface anymore. His entire run so far has just been confusing.

Cena always referred to Ryder as if he were a rookie despite the fact that Ryder has spent almost all of his adult life in the wrestling business and has been on the main roster since 2007.

I'll be shocked when the day comes you don't mention Ryder or Alex Riley

To be fair (to Flair Cena), the WWE is its own Universe. Its like a total different world than the indy scene.

I always felt this way when JR called every cruiserweight, etc, "kid", "young man", or when the announcers would say someone had more heart than brains for actually wrestling a match with someone higher on the card or bigger than them. I don't know exactly what they should do, then, go home?

Off topic, but I always was annoyed when King would rag on someone making fun of people behind their back, or picking fights from afar. That is literally what he does for a job, where does he get the moral authority to call them out? Even in kayfabe, he trash talks everyone, every show, and rarely faces any backlash for it. If you go into his wrestling career, it gets sillier still, as he was as cowardly as heels come.

His heart attack pretty much killed off any chances of wrestlers going after him for talking trash about them.

My main point would be whenever anyone would treat Hornswoggle like he was a little kid. He's 27.

Never got that, either. He has a f***ing beard.
