Heres where it's tempting to do a little judicious fastforwarding. The pre-taped Anger Management skits that placed Kane and Bryan together run a little long and ended up feeling overscripted and a bit forced. Regardless, there are bits and pieces that are just fantastic comedy - like when Kanes asked to share a little with the group, and summarises his entire ridiculous, grand guignol backstory in one deadpan take. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsSkEWHVSug These skits are six and seven minutes long, when they should really have been split into more manageable ninety second chunks. But this next one is absolutely worth clicking onto, if only in order to get to the amazing bits, like Kane setting off pyro in the waste paper bin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrdxqtJcvus This next clip is much more like it: a backstage segment from Smackdown in September 2012, in which therapist Dr. Shelby offers Team Hell No a set of bright red balls to squeeze to assist in their anger management issues. Michael Aspinwall, an actor who also works as a teacher at legendary LA improv theatre group The Groundlings, was genuinely brilliant as Dr. Shelby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJznzq0GMYg
