How come a lot of wrestlers don't seem to be friendly or appreciate the fans?

Wrestlers are just people.  Some people are nice, some not so much.  Beside that, a lot of times fans don't exactly treat workers with respect and the wrestlers react in kind.  If someone is being a tool to a worker, I don't blame the talent for heeling the fan.  If a fan treats a wrestler with respect and that wrestler is rude to him, the guy is either having a bad day or is just a jerk.

On Tough Enough, Ariane said her favorite match was Melina vs. Alicia Fox. Have the two of them ever actually had a noteworthy match?

I guess to her they did.  I sure don't remember it.  As soon as she said that to Steve Austin I figured she wasn't long for that competition.  Well, that and the fact that she really sucked and showed no aptitude for the business.

We hear every time that Vince does not like Christian. I want to know why.

To be fair here, it's not that Vince doesn't like him, it's just that up until now he has reportedly told people that he doesn't see Christian as a main event player.  Vince doesn't answer my calls so I can't ask him why he hasn't seen Christian as someone worth trying at the main event level in the past.

What is the point behind pushing commentators?

To draw interest from fans and thus far WWE has gotten just that with the Jerry Lawler-Michael Cole feud.  It has been pretty interesting in my opinion.

What are they doing to Randy Orton? He comes out on SD…smiling??? Then gets in the ring and smiles more? He is losing his intimidating factor that made him such a good character. It the wrong direction for him, IMHO.

Maybe it's because he is happy to be the undisputed number one guy on a show.  Seriously, I get what you are saying but it didn't just start this week.  Remember family man Randy showing up in his tour bus with his fake wife?  I think WWE should be smart and realize that people were cheering the guy who wasn't sugary sweet and not ruin that character, just like you do.  If they change Orton's character too much they could do a lot of harm to him.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
