10 Times WWE Directly Insulted Your Intelligence
5. Braun Strowman's Toy Car
2019's stupid WrestleMania Braun Strowman storyline saw him feuding with Saturday Night Live cast members Colin Jost and Michael Che over not a great deal, but one of the few highlights saw the 'Monster Among Men' do one of the things he does best and smash the sh*t out of a vehicle just because it looks funny.
The luxurious sports car Strowman destroyed had been a gift, see; an effort from the cocky pair to try and get their new rival to forgive them rather than batter the f*ck out of them at the ''Grandest Stage'.
Only it wasn't really - WWE just had a toy to sell.
Backward engineering a reason for merchandise to exist, the company donated a portion of Monday Night Raw (and the 'Show Of Shows' build) to the sight of Strowman tearing off doors etc just because they'd already made a gift set to reflect just that. A set they then emailed mailing list fans about within minutes of Raw going off the air. Or before, if you hadn't even had a chance to see it for real.
As slick as it was cynical, it was far too sharp a reminder of the core values of the organisation beyond anything that could be classified as creative. It's not the only time Strowman's been dragged through one of these, either...
