10 Ways WWE Hasn't Learned From Its Mistakes
9. Insistence On Scripted Promos
Of course, Moxley also annihilated the creative "writing" process.
Cutting promos used to be his favourite part, he said. But something about telling the audience that they stink so overwhelmingly that he had to carry a pooper scooper around with him in case the faeces oozed out from under their trousers soured him on the heavily scripted practise. Mox regrets displaying even a "shred" of comedic timing because he knew then and there that was f*cked. He was fated to become a caricature.
On the subject of caricatures, Riddle is currently playing the thickest f*cking stoner c*nt you've ever seen on WWE television. He eats bronuts and has a pet rabbit with a stupid name and sits around at home watching Air Bud like an eight year-old kid. He is a radical and tubular a*rsehole of a wrestling character.
Riddle effectively is Dean Ambrose (not Jon Moxley; he's nowhere near the man): a joke whose characteristics are amplified to preposterous degrees because we, the audience, are just too thick to grasp the easygoing nuances of a chilled-out fellow without being told, explicitly, that he smokes weed which brings about the munchies which he satiates by eating takeout food.
He might, unlike Mox, be happy. But he's not over or relevant.
