Regarding Eva Marie smiling and laughing on her way to the back after her elimination at WWE’s Survivor Series pay-per-view, they are now teaching talents that if they are on the babyface side, when they leave the ring they should smile and engage the fans and play their character, not sell the loss.

Look at me I just lost! Woo! *starts dancing off the stage* So weird!

Makes sense if you're a babyface. No kid is going to support a hero that pouts.

On the flip side of that, who's going to buy that a guy who just lost a Championship match is going to not be bummed a bit

Still, imaging Cena smiling and giving out high fives after losing to The Rock at Mania.

no i completely understand and i don't like the decision to no sell losses and it's just gonna look even worse if WWE ever have those heated feuds again. But i'm just saying the kids don't care.

I could just imagine Triple H after that summerslam match with Lesnar where he "broke" his arm just getting up to dance like Disco Inferno.

Yeah because like this rule really applies to any big name PPV match in a decent hate-filled feud. It was fucking Eva Marie after a nothing match that got this article to be posted, it doesn't matter.

This quite possibly very well may be in my top 10 of dumbest dirtsheet reports I have ever heard in my life. Doesn't help that from what I've gathered since I don't watch total divas that Eva Marie isn't exactly a face anyways.

Come on guys, this has to be true. They're not just any wrestling news site, they're a NEWZ site. That just screams reliable information.

I wouldn't honestly be surprised seeing as to which age group they are trying to attract most, teach kids to never give up bullshit. That's money.

I'm 50/50 on this.

- Rise above hate, never back down or quit .... Cenas the franchise because of that

- Evas a rookie that some don't like and they put her in spots to come off stupid or dumb like trying to make her memorize the whole roster then announce one match or dance with fandango, etc

Hard news based on observations of a woman that's not just green as hell, but supposedly trolled backstage in ways to sabotage her on camera. Even if it were true about the divas being coached on that, it's still just a diva match. Not so sure I'd believe that when it comes to the boys, except for maybe the ones that don't know how to sell anyhow.

The product is changing, constantly does. So who knows. I'll believe it when I see Kofi get squashed, then pop up to high five the kiddos on his way back. Assuming they'd do that though, you'd not likely see it on camera very often.
