10 Things That Made Us Embarrassed To Be Wrestling Fans In 2017
6. The Big Dead Machine
Kane's relatively recent return to television was confusing enough considering the man behind the mask is still in the middle of a race to become mayor of Knox County.
Perhaps hoping to leverage the vote of notoriously loyal WWE fans in his constituency by reminding them of his existence in the company (as if the flame iconography and red and black colour scheme in his campaign logo wasn't awkwardly clear enough), Glenn Jacobs' political gambit may finally be the death knell for the last remaining 'Brother Of Destruction'.
On evidence, it can't come soon enough.
His return has frustratingly shone yet another light on the damaging 50/50 booking that has corrupted careers in WWE for years.
Braun Strowman was handily despatched by Brock Lesnar in a thoughtless contest, and thus theoretically required a monster of Kane's stature to be rehabilitated. But 'The Big Red Machine' is damaged goods, and thus required his own dominant displays to make him look a credible threat to the 'Monster Among Men'.
Net result? Brock still fine. Braun remained fine anyway. Kane fine either way. Finn Bálor f*cked, and not considered over enough to challenge for the Universal Title Strowman failed to snare at the start of this sad tale.
Chokeslams and tax rebates for everybody though, vote for Kane!
