10 WWE Joke Pushes That Stopped Being Funny
2. Big Dick Johnson
On his 'Something To Wrestle' podcast, Bruce Prichard once shared a Vince McMahon-ism that explained much of the WWE 'comedy' fans had been subjected to for decades.
During an edition of Monday Night Raw in which Davey Boy Smith was to be dropped back-first into a tray of faeces by The Rock, McMahon exclaimed that "Nothing is as funny as dog sh*t". It was hard not to believe part-time pinocchio Prichard on that one.
Second on that elusive list has to be the visual of anybody that doesn't confirm to his vision of a perfect body. Only that can explain why company staffer Christopher DeJoseph was oiled up and forced out to the ring in a g-string so many f*cking times.
The recycled punchline to a billion heel schemes - a Mae Young of the post-Attitude Era - 'Big Dick Johnson' was at first an on-the-nose D-Generation-X gag followed by a recurring role as weirdo-for-hire trotted out by the writing team when they needed a churlish fire escape for another pathetic segment gone rogue. His tinpot strip club music seemed horrendous by design. Why on earth did the company not apply such logic to the rest of the gimmick?
