6. It’s A Spider!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

This is equal parts pathetic and hilarious.

A quick (but not necessarily complete) list of problems:-

1. It’s a f*cking toy spider.

2. Rowan revealed it to an underwhelming jobber in an underwhelming backstage segment.

3. After months of battering anyone who’d come near this thing, big Erick just casually revealed it when politely asked to.

4. Rowan said “yes” to a man named “No Way Jose.”

5. The reaction! It’s a toy spider, idiots. Why are you running away?!

6. That thing once bit somebody on Raw. It has drawn blood. A toy spider has drawn blood.

7. “I think it’s alive,” said Byron Saxton. Is it mate? You sure about that, pal?

8. WWE spent months building this thing up, knowing the payoff was Erick Rowan’s gimmick becoming “man with spider.”

WWE is funny as hell.
