#2) Pushing their Golden Boys and Golden Girls

How many more opportunities are going to be handed to this guy?

The WWE has a habit of pushing talent that it believes deserves to be the face of the company. These Golden Boys and Golden Girls include the likes of Hulk Hogan, Lex Luger, The Rock, John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Charlotte Flair just to name a few.

Some of them have been deserving but others have been chosen for no other reason than their looks and how they fit the image of what the promotion believes a pro-wrestler should represent. Case in point, Roman Reigns and Lex Luger.

The UFC has pretty much adopted the same model as certain fighters have been handpicked as the promotions favourites and they are always given the big fights and numerous opportunities to show off their skills.

The likes of Paige van Zant, Sage Northcutt, and Ronda Rousey all fall into this category and regardless of the other people in their weight classes being more deserving or more skilled, these fighters are always pushed down audience throats.
