10 WWE Ideas So Awful Even Legends Couldn't Get Them Over

6. Sparklecrotch

A caveat here, as 'Sparklecrotch' did earn a smattering of chants over several weeks towards the end of 2016. What it didn't do was help floundering babyface Seth Rollins as he sought desperately to cling on to something, anything, that might help him reestablish a relationship with the audience following an awkward summer turn.

Levied at Chris Jericho much in the same way 'Y2J' would throw sh*tty shade at heels in the aforementioned halcyon days of the Attitude Era, Rollins having a pop at the US Champion's twinkly tights was a bit rich anyway considering how he'd accessorise his own attire at WrestleMania a few months later.

'The Architect' and 'The Best In The World' weren't at fault for the problematic penchant, nor particularly were the scribes forced to suggest such silliness. They are merely vehicles for this sort of nonsense to be peddled. The line spoke mostly to a beleaguered and bedraggled writing team presumably desperately to get lines on Raw to appease the audience of one that once approved 'labiagytis' as an excuse to romance women young enough to be his daughter. Or once pitched actually romancing his daughter. The less said about sparkly crotches there, the better.
