As if the interminable feud between Bobby Lashley and Sami Zayn could not get any worse, this week Sami Zayn contrived to make us rage at him - the guy whose delivery is the only irredeemable aspect of this deadening farce. Regrettably, said delivery was revealed to be absurdly phoney - more absurdly phoney even by WWE's fatally over-produced standards - when Sami read microscopic text from the tron without a magnifying glass. He could do with one, if only to see the logic behind this awful programme. Christ, even Roman Reigns does not possess superpowers to this magnitude.

It's almost as if Sami was reading from a script!

And that, clearly, is symptomatic of a critical problem infecting the integrity of the 99%, none of whom resonate as remotely authentic. This entire charade was as fake as Vince McMahon's forced laughter at the commentary booth.

Worse still was the trademark, counterproductive toxicity with which Lashley was treated. This Inspirational Instagirl gimmick is worse than his secret serial killer schtick because the posts are even more hackneyed than your average WWE scripted promo. He could not look more like a goof, but then, people say this every week.
