A small detail from Raw: What is the thought process here, WWE? - The Diamond Cutter - 10-03-2012 04:10 PM
With of the Twitter BS on Raw, I think most of us might've missed one detail. Dolph Ziggler's jacket had the hashtag "heel" on it. What the hell?
WWE is so unrealistic already. I mean c'mon! How is it that in every Rey Mysterio match, and just his matches, the guy just happens to fall perfectly on the ropes and a kick to the face somehow takes him out? They do so much work trying to make this look legit, and then they let Ziggler come out with a wrestling term for STORYLINE PURPOSES on his jacket.
I think promos around WWE have gotten way out of character. If your show is based on a storyline, then you have to insult the viewer's intelligence. Ziggler shouldn't have heel on his jacket, he shouldn't be shown to us as a heel, WWE needs to push him as a "bad guy".
Anybody else agree here? I know it's a small detail, but still, what has wrestling come to?
Straight Edge Enigma: That's a good point you make. I guess I'm ticked that now Twitter is getting on the merchandise.

Heel is only known by fans who know that wrestling is fixed anyway, the ones who don't know aren't suddenly going to know because of a word written on a jacket.
Plus heel also means 'A dishonorable man' so he could easily just be proud of his actions.
Also the phrase "bad guy" is a lot more obvious that something's fixed since "bad guys" are only in movies and tv. Where as a heel exists in real life too.
