10 Worst WWE Feuds Of 2020
6. Viking Raiders Vs Street Profits
Imagine Bruce Prichard one day trying to explain away the very worst of this on a Conrad podcast all about Backlash 2020.
In it, he'll lie about how much the real world needed the "comedy" of the various pissing contests the pairs had on television in the run-up to the eventual backstage brawl the contest degenerated into before they could even make it to the ring. He'll talk about how repackaging Akira Tozawa as a ninja "made sense" and how Jordan Omogbehin as his backup was a "hell of an attraction". Conrad will get a "monster-tentacles R Us" line out of him and on they'll move to the next thing on the show.
All bullsh*t, right down to that very conceit because nobody will ever request they review Backlash 2020. Not least because of this.
This was - rather fittingly considering how all four men ended up laid out on a mountain of the stuff - total f*cking garbage. The sporting vignettes were rarely amusing and never imaginative. The promos cut during these set-pieces brought the worst out in both teams, which is what happens when you take talents as evidently prodigious as Montez Ford and stop them being themselves.
The lone high was a proper banger of a payoff on the June 23rd edition of Monday Night Raw where the great wrestlers had a great wrestling match. Too great - all because it was too late.
