10 Brutal Realisations About WWE Network's Holy Foley!
2. Contrived, Unoriginal Storylines
To act like Holy Foley! is the only reality show that features very few "real" episodes would be a gross understatement. Still, Holy Foley! seems to go out of its way to insult the audience's intelligence with how contrived and desperate each episode's storyline is.
For example, the idea of independent Dewey Foley, WWE Writer's Assistant, has already been mentioned multiple times, but how about the episode-long tease of "is Noelle pregnant?" which was treated with the same reverence and seriousness as a Yurple appearance. In fact, Mick's belief that Noelle was out to get a slice of pizza after an in-ring training session was treated with more urgency.
Clearly, the pizza thing was a huge cause for concern, enough for Mick to follow Noelle several cities over only for it to be revealed that she's looking at moving in with her boyfriend Frank (gasp) and every camera angle is just spot-on perfect!
Clown babies don't get Mick's blood boiling so much, but a potential slice of pizza was almost the catalyst for a return to Mick's more deranged side!
Give me a break.
In terms of respecting their audience's intelligence and integrity, Holy Foley! makes Total Divas and most other reality shows look like Game Of Thrones.
