WWE dusted off the worst f*cking Doink in the history of sh*tty f*cking retreads in one of the worst bits of a "comedy" match that was only a laugh track short of being a barrel-scraping Chuck Lorre production.

They always go back to the clown, context-free, when they're referencing their cartoonish past, but NXT's use of the In Your House branding was shocking mostly for the reverence it was afforded. Yes, the company were just making a bit of a joke about where we're all forced to be at the moment, but they did so mining the deepest of New Generation cuts for the benefit of a super-loyal hardcore audience that stuck with them through the lean 1990s. With the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression spent forces in this department, bring 1995 all the way back to see if 1995's non-draws can find an audience 25 years later.

Diesel leads the charge naturally, with a crazed Shawn Michaels, ice cool Razor Ramon, and cleaned shaven 1-2-3 Kid in tow. Triple H is carrying their bags. Behind that van there's Duke Droese's bin lorry. Elias can do one because Man Mountain Rock is here. Tekno Team 2000 can be a nostalgia act instead of predicting a bold space-age future. TL Hopper can unblock the Performance Center bogs.

Don't dare pretend it'd be any worse.
