11 Baffling Moments From WWE Extreme Rules 2018
This ain't no Mensa meeting.
If WWE proved anything this past Sunday, it's that any lingering conceit of internal logic permeating through their show has all but evaporated. Every single aspect of the product is completely free of any suggestion of coherent sense, from the broader narratives to the minor match details themselves. It's a warped world to make only the most skeptical of quantum physicists excited: things happen, non-linearly, with no regard to how they came about, or whether they should. And the next second - flash! - it's all erased.
You pull back the curtain even a smidge, and the whole bloody building collapses. That's a load-bearing curtain rail, don't you know. By now, we've been trained to sit idly by, as matches are made seemingly through the dart-at-a-board method, the 'good guys' continue to leave Mensa membership forms totally undisturbed, and the commentary team are either watching a different channel or think they're the second coming of Paul McKenna (and he's not even dead). It's ludicrous, ridiculous, ludiculous.
Pittsburgh's latest voyage into the unexplained was particularly fecund in the 'what-the-f*ckery' stakes. It was logical Gruyère, with a fresh hole to fall into around every corner. These were just some of it's most baffling moments.
11. Is Andrade Almas In Purgatory?
Repeatedly confronted with Sins, you have to say yes. Why was the former Ls Sombra forced to jump through hoops once more, against an opponent he'd handily defeated just days earlier on SmackDown? "Cien" again dispatched the lucha libre - albeit this time with assistance for Zelina Vega - proving the do-over was completely superfluous.
Look at this way: Croatia won't get another shot at the World Cup next Sunday after failing their first attempt. But hey, we all know Nikki Bella's Axiom ("wins and losses don't matter! *giggle*).
