7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (June 30)

7. Russia Is Weird...

...and if the WhatCulture site is down for a few days after this article is published, you'll know why.

As introduced to the world by those fellas at Heel By Nature, 2X2, Russian carrier of WWE television, runs a particularly odd advertising campaign for RAW and SmackDown, in which it essentially d*cks about with existing footage with totally naff CGI for its own amusement. John Cena hoists AJ Styles atop his shoulders. The Phenomenal One promptly explodes (!) in the face of Cena's immense power. He's buried several guys, sure, but that critical commentary is a bit on the nose.

2X2 also have a delightfully mental insistence on placing CGI party hats on many of the performers, whose chests also burst into a stream of confetti when kicked. When winded, a party whistle pops out of their mouths.

This is odd in the extreme. The only rational explanation for this business is that that the kremlin mandates 2X2 do this in order to prove that Russians didn't electronically interfere in the U.S. election because they are utterly cr*p with computers.
