10 Worst WWE Gimmicks Of 2018
9. Drake Maverick: Author Of Pee
Drake Maverick's initial union with the Authors Of Pain created an immediate disconnect. For some reason, the fair, just, babyface General Manager of 205 Live was now buddying up with Raw's most monstrous tag team. A good guy on Tuesday nights but a villain on Mondays, Maverick became a contradiction, and if this wasn't bad enough, his transformation into a full-on urine enthusiast for a brief period in November killed any hope that fans will ever take him seriously.
It started at Survivor Series. Confronted by Big Show during AOP's match with The Bar, Maverick p*ssed himself at the bout's conclusion, with the distraction facilitating his team's victory. Then, on an episode of Raw, the former Rockstar Spud elected to snatch Bobby Roode's sequined robe from ringside, carry it to a backstage bathroom, stuff it down the toilet, then pee all over to his (and presumably Vince McMahon's) joyful tittering.
Rumour has it that the peeing mechanism Drake was supposed to use at Survivor Series malfunctioned, leaving the apparent authority figure with no choice but to, ahem, go into business for himself. He'll be thankful his Author of Pee phase is seemingly over.
