Before the introduction of the "Super Show", I came up with a rule that I briefly mentioned in my second ever post on this blog. I called said rule the "Four Relevant Face Rule" (FRFR), which is self-explanatory. But, if you're unsure, let me clear it up. The rule states that the WWE prefers to focus on four babyfaces on Raw, as well as four on Smackdown. The purpose that this concept provided at the time was to create an "us against the world" mentality amongst the casual fanbase. The limit placed on the number of relevant babyfaces presented by each show allowed the WWE to highlight each individual babyface more efficiently and with more depth. The idea is that if four babyfaces lose to a dozen heels, nobody loses credibility. The numbers being as uneven as they are allows for more shallow, gimmicky heels and more well rounded, in-depth and most importantly, relatable, babyfaces.
