One of the WWE's biggest strengths is the fact that it is a massive corporate entity. The fact is that WWE can produce a great deal more manpower, resources, and executives to handle day to day functions of their operation than the next closest competitor.

There is also plenty of resources available to the talent, like seamstresses to design or repair ring gear, and personal trainers on staff.

On the other hand, being a corporation is also one of WWE's greatest weaknesses. In corporate culture, it is often felt that individuals are sublimated in favor of the group goal.

It is also thought that sometimes people in authority will issue edicts that are difficult or impossible for their underlings to perform.

The WWE is no exception to this phenomenon. Many wrestlers, such as CM Punk, have cited the WWE's corporate interference with the nuances of pro wrestling matches as being a major bone of contention.

Perhaps by letting the wrestlers have more of a say in the decisions surrounding the business the WWE can help those wrestlers feel more valued and in control of their destinies.
