But the bookers of every promotion have always been biased as heck and that is part of the point. 3.X had a bloated roster - but everyone who wasn't a high flying spot monkey (a spellcaster with 9th level spells) was a jobber. (And even the "jobber spot monkey" of the sorcerer would be put over anyone who wasn't a spot monkey). The 4e bookers preferred technically skilled cruiserweights and longer matches and all the fans of the spots got pissed off, and they'd been the most vocal fans. Meanwhile 5e cut the roster and tried to get people cheering for the entire tiny roster (I referred to the pre-Crit Role years of 5e as the "Mothballs Edition"). But did go in on diversity and trying to pump everyone they kept. And went for an old and tested roster.</blockquote>
