Don’t worry anyone, I don’t work for any wrestling company. *Wink*
Seriously, what do you think (in your opinion) are the sacrifices they have to make from both a business point of view and fan’s point of view.
Think out of the box.

Most people only see wrestlers once or twice a week on television and think that’s all they do. What these people don’t get to see are all practices and rehearsals that are not televised. During these rehearsals and practice a wrestler is in the ring every day for hours at a time. And if you thing that’s not hard work, go to a wrestling school and go at it for about 15 minutes.
Here is a typical day on the road for a WWE Pro Wrestler: You wake up at 7:00 in the morning. You get to the airport at 8:30. You take a flight across the country and arrive at 11:00. After renting a car, checking into a hotel room, and something to eat, it’s 1:00. Time to go to a photo shoot. So you drive to a mall and sign autographs until 3:00. It’s time to head on over to the arena. Getting through traffic, you might make it by 4:30. After you eat something and do a short workout, it’s 5:30. At that time you go talk to one of the bookers and he goes over your match with you. If you can find the time, you and your opponent do a quick run down of what’s going to happen. By then it’s 7:00 and it’s time to go on. You wrestle a match and leave the arena at 10:00. You get to the hotel by 12:00 and get some sleep before you do it all over again in the morning. Now find time to workout and keep the marvelous body a wrestler has. And you want some sort of social life don’t you? Good luck.
Those are the main sacrifices that A Professional Wrestler Must Give Up. You Basically have to Devote Your Life To the Business.
This is a tough question. I’d assume, since I’m not in the business, that WWE (Im using them since they’re the most well known) has to please both the casual fan and the religious fan, which is why they dont always have an easy job and should get some slack when it comes to making stars, creating storylines, and generally doing what they do. Thats not to say they shouldnt be called to task when they do things extrememly stupid, like push a widow as their top heel GM. I think mostly wrestlnig is about ratings, and they will do anything for ratings, of course much more in the Attitude Era because Vince had WCW breathing down his neck. Now, since there is no threatening competition to him, he has become lazy. I hope I gave you some insight and didnt misunderstand your question lol.
I think a lot of the time, wrestling industries have to choose between quality and quantity when it comes to their rosters. I also think they have to pay more than they are willing to pay to keep certain wrestlers in the business to keep fans happy.
