10 Forgotten WWE Matches Followed By Something Infamously Terrible
The storm after the calm.
You're a fan of Disney. Or, if you're one of the Passion Of The Christ-adjacent parents that has been pushed beyond breaking point on a daily basis of late, perhaps you're getting a great deal out of Disney+ at the moment. Or if neither apply, just imagine one of those scenarios (your writer would recommend the former) for the good of this comparison.
Disney offers what looks and feels like a limitless amount of content old and new that plays to the dark heart of your ageing years and the youthful giddy thrill of your nostalgic core. It also exists in the name of a man who battled not-entirely-unfounded accusations of racism, cultural whitewashing and debasement in his work and legacy.
But these are not the first thoughts that spring to mind when you hit play on Toy Story 2 for the fifth time this working week. Unlike how it currently feels to sit through a WWE Network special about how great Vince McMahon is.
Recent global events have provided a terse reminder of exactly who the Walt Disney of our world is, faults nakedly exposed more than his a*se was in 2001. They are not hidden nor debatable, they are terrible. Infamously so. It's little wonder a team of people around him go to work just to stop all of them exploding on the product every week. They've not always been successful...
10. Titus O’Neil Vs. Kalisto (Followed By Bayley: This Is Your Life)
Bayley's This Is Your Life was a legendarily bad Raw segment that, for those that have already tried to erase it from recall for the good of the key components, featured Alexa Bliss trotting out a series of bad actors to tell stories that implied an incestuous relationship between 'The Hugger' and her father, and mock her for watching wrestling.
A self-own for the ages considering just how over Bayley had been with her character in NXT before the main roster bullied the life out of it, the lengthy skit was so poorly received that the company scripted then-Raw GM Kurt Angle to scold Bliss for it on television next week.
Nobody had mind to talk about anything else on the show...though that perhaps wasn't all the fault of the mid-show atrocity. As if to tee the fans up for what they were about to endure, WWE presented Kalisto Vs Titus O'Neil from a period deep in the middle of Titus Worldwide's non-dominance of the red brand. A watch back is dismal - commentators rip the p*ss out of O'Neil, the Titus brand and both Akira Tozawa and Apollo Crews for hanging around with him.
Best to look to Bob Holly for his take on both match and segment here.
