10 Wrestling Clichés You Can't Ignore
3. The Language Of WWE
And following on from the bullsh*t flowing like sludge into your ears every Monday and Friday, let's get to the contents of the bullsh*t itself. Contents so rancid that the smell of literal bullsh*t would be a more welcome presence twice a week than the impossibly inane bullsh*t uttered on these shows.
Nobody - not wrestlers, commentators nor even the "journalists" that cover them with kindness online - speaks like an actual human being within 50 feet of this product.
It shouldn't be so easy to pull up examples, but one particular dereliction of booking duty on the post-WrestleMania 37 edition of Monday Night Raw forced the commentary team to cash in what little credibility they had to put over the "mind games" of the braindead.
Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke, the babyfaces, decided to walk out on a match and take a loss because Nia Jax fell over, they laughed, and consequences may have been afoot. This f*ckawful conclusion was made worse by Rose and Brooke, the babyfaces, noting how "it wasn't worth it", which might be true but should never ever be uttered on television. Nor uttered twice when the commentary backed it up as sound strategy!
It doesn't even matter that in WWE's meaningless landscape, it is. What mattered was that the commentators failed to hold it - or anything about it - to account, and it wasn't long before they were "switching gears" again as if The Fiend had just shat black goo in the middle of the ring. Not that it was much less putrid.
