What happened to War Machine?

Before reaching WWE, and even in NXT pre-Raw/SmackDown, the tag-team were fierce; they were earning rave reviews for their work in Japan and in ROH. Then, some of WWE's writers got their hands on the duo, gave them names that sounded like IKEA call centre workers (Erik and Ivar), and booked them in comedy skits.

The Street Profits get a pass here despite sharing these segments with The Viking Raiders. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have a comedic edge to them anyway, but Erik and Ivar should be snorting Norse warriors tearing sh*t up like some modern-day retelling of The Road Warriors. Instead, they're bowling and playing golf.

2020 hasn't been kind to these Raiders. WWE has stripped them of all menace, and tried to half-arse their way through scenes that maybe would've worked on Prime Time Wrestling in 1992, or one of those old Coliseum home video tapes.
