10 Most Surreal Wrestling Moments In Recent History
7. Don't Sneeze Near The Exalted One!
It's safe to say Brodie Lee was working through some issues in his first couple of vignettes as AEW's Exalted One.
Vince McMahon certainly sounds like an interesting man to work under, and Brodie Lee wasted no time in taking potshots at the WWE owner's well-known eccentricities. Banning his followers from sneezing or yawning in his presence and forbidding anyone to eat until he was finished, these segments allowed the former Luke Harper much needed catharsis following his frustrating run in McMahon's organization.
Fortunately, Brodie Lee seems to have worked through his resentments and is now playing the Exalted One as a sinister cult leader rather than a McMahon parody. This is definitely the right move for the character, as the jibes at Lee's former employer would have started feeling more petty than humourous in the long run.
That being said it was certainly fun to catch a brief glimpse of what it would be like working for someone as unique as the chairman of WWE, even if it was just to remind ourselves that things could always be worse. We may be stuck indoors but at least we can sneeze whenever we want! #alwayslookonthebrightside
