10 Times WWE Had Their Head Up Their Ass

4. Pointless Acts Of Cruelty, Various

Vince McMahon Big Show

WWE's mission statement is to "put smiles on people's faces".

Vince McMahon literally has his head so far up his own ass that he must reside permanently in his own intestines.

How could you possibly smile about Mr. McMahon mocking JR's Bell Palsy? About Dean Ambrose being scripted to say that God punished Roman Reigns with his liekumeia diagnosis? About Brock Lesnar opening up a shoot hole in Randy Orton's f*cking head?

WWE is a callous outfit offscreen, and this culture bleeds over to the TV product that has for so long been so mean-spirited. They put Jim Neidhart on a table. They scripted Sasha Banks to tell Natalya to go to hell - and say hello to Daddy when she gets there. It's all so cruel and so lazy and so against what is literally their own, utterly laughable ethos.

"Did you have a nice time at the wrestling, Timmy?"

"They ironed Jim Neidhart on a table when he was still warm and Nattie looked legitimately shaken up, it friggin' ruled ass."
