10 Things WWE Has Forgotten How To Do

5. Be Funny

Unless it's toilet humour, WWE aren't interested.

Fart and dick jokes are the law in a company that seems obsessed with handing pro wrestlers scripts so crammed they'd make Will Ferrell dizzy. The last funny man who provoked legit laughter was arguably Santino Marella ("Son-a-ma-gun" and the "John Chain-a"). Since then, it's been all downhill.

Remember the glory of Mick Foley's "This Is Your Life" segment for The Rock in 1999? So do WWE, and that's why they tried to relight the fire with Alexa Bliss and Bayley in 2017. Predictably, it flopped, and so did other comedic efforts like The Good Brothers carrying testicles around in a jar or Baron Corbin making light of Finn Bálor's height.

WWE's attempts at comedy have been way too forced in the modern era. The writing team's constant (mis)use of wisecracks that'd make American Pie's scriptwriters gag is a minor issue, yes, but it's still a regular annoyance.
