Sorry, I'd need a more credible example than Eva Marie before I believe that

They probably told Eva Marie to look disappointed and upset and she botched it.
GINGER Mahal.

Bullshit. If we're supposed to believe that they're all so dead set on winning titles and it's their dream, why would they be happy to lose?
I'd probably say the above post saying she botched it is more correct.

Using Eva as an example of their new booking plan is f###### hilarious.

Saying that... Cena doesn't tend to sell losses much.
Stone Cold sure as hell sold losses, but he never drew a dime.

Now I want Mizark to get rolled up and just shrug and smile as he tags hands with fans on the way up the aisle, like Cerrano in Major League 2. Bonus points if it takes Yoshi Tatsu to tell him about huevos and they start doing the big balls dance.

Then if it's for faces, what's the explanation for AJ selling the loss on Raw by smiling and skipping?

I can see doing this in a silly multi diva elimination match where the result has no meaning, but this would look awful in any match of consequence.

This story stems from Survivor Series wherein after Eva Marie was pinned, she popped right up, left the ring with a big dorky smile and started tagging hands. Meltzer and Alvarez basically mocked her for this ridiculous greenhorn move, only to find out from the company later that this is in fact their new policy: EVERYONE HAS FUN~! Jesus Christ.

Nine times out of ten we wouldn't know what the hell they're doing while leaving the match anyway, because they're either got the camera focused on the winner or moved on to the commentators/backstage skit.

Eh, I've kind of been suspecting this for a while. Their announcers don't treat the matches they call seriously, wrestlers don't react to eachother's promos, championship belts are treated as personal accessories, nobody ever sells anything besides t-shirts and smartphone apps.

And they wonder why their ratings and buyrates are so low. Eh, they'll figure out a way to blame it on Daniel Bryan.
