People are foolishly forgetting that all of these "pros" were nobodies once too. They all started with a chip and a dream and eventually made it big. They made it by winning one of the big buy in tournaments and winning a lot of money, along with their fair share of fame. Almost every famous player was a nobody until they won a big tournament or made a couple televised final tables. There are plenty of other tournaments around the world, so griping about the WSOP ME is pretty pointless.
