10 Modern WWE Moments You Totally Don't Remember
10. The Mosh Pit Match
WWE has developed a strategy in 2020 of throwing a tagline over some bullsh*t in an attempt to convince you that it isn't bullsh*t.
The Horrow Show!
You'll Never See It Coming!
Climb The Corporate Ladder, even though we've furloughed half of you poor pricks to ensure that we post record profits!
But Paul Heyman started this trend in 2019 in a desperate ploy for ratings. What's ironic is that, if you add up all the hours WWE has spent scrambling for these ideas, that's more than enough time to map the next six months ahead for several talents. But no.
Mosh pit!
This was Paul Heyman showing his hoary old '90s ar*e in a bid to capture the younger demographic. What do young hip people like, the white boomers in charge of WWE creative asked themselves, before arriving at the answer "Beavis and Butthead, Godsmack, and flame print shirts".
"This" was a 'Mosh Pit' match in which R-Truth made a scheduled defence of the 24/7 Championship. It was a sort of lumberjack match, but the lumberjacks didn't beat up the guy who just got thrown out of the ring. That person (Drake Maverick) crowd-surfed instead.
"Tubular," said the 18-34 demographic, and WWE was saved on that fateful day of July 29, 2019.
