11 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Dec 4)

Downs...

4. What A Creep

Lars Sullivan
WWE

Disclaimer: this week's Downs are as minor as minor gets, but we must take a moment to acknowledge these Lars Sullivan video packages.

They're effective, well-produced, and seem to be fulfilling their purpose of getting people hyped up for the big man's arrival. Lord knows how long they'll go on for, but their general aesthetic fits the character and they're doing their job.

The heavy breathing at the end, though? Jesus Christ.

Rather than presenting Sully as a big, scary monster, it makes him seem like a weird pervert, particularly as he's clutching a fence while doing his best Snuffleupagus. It creeps your writer out, and not in an 'I'm scared of this evil beast' way; it's more 'stay away from my wife, you absolute creep.'

Presumably, Lars recorded these sounds while enjoying Stephanie McMahon's 'very sexy fap vid.'
