10 WWE Stars Who BURIED The Writers

3. The Club

In a more subtextual burial, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were asked to defend the chronic 2017 Ringpostitis segment on Busted Open Radio shortly thereafter, as if it were tantamount to high treason, or something.

For those who have understandably suppressed the memory, The Club cosplayed as doctors and diagnosed Big E with 'Ringpostitis'. This coined word was Peak Vince Bullsh*t - you can still hear his "I love it!" reverberating across the globe - and fittingly, in an example of what can be referred to now as the Dean Ambrose Principle, Vince made a prop from the noun, and stuck a couple of eggs in a jar to convey to the WWE Universe that, yes, they were Big E's testicles. An anthology of WWE sh*te, Anderson and Gallows subsequently exchanged puns, and then cracked possibly the worst joke ever heard on WWE television.

"The good news is, Big E can now hit the high notes when he attends choir practise."

"Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!"

The segment, to everybody else, was pure sh*t.

The segment, to Vince McMahon, was "such good sh*t!"

"Some of the stuff was silly and a couple of things didn’t stick, and they weren’t funny," Anderson said.

Translated: "All of the stuff was horrendous, none of it stuck, and has AEW formed yet?"

It's not as if Anderson could get his immaculate Hot Asian Wife schtick over on WWE TV. Vince doesn't believe that Asian women are capable of being attractive.
