5. 'Trick Or Street Fight'

The 'Trick Or Street Fight' name has never and will never make much sense. Halloween revellers are familiar with the 'Trick Or Treat' phrase; tacking 'Fight' onto a word that rhymes with that is rotten. WWE should just call the thing 'Trick Or Street' and then put 'Fight' in brackets, or something.

Rant over. That's the least of this bout's problems anyway.

Subjective tolerance for this goofy nonsense may vary, but it's usually a miss for this fan. Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs vs. Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss was just a little too long as well, and the involvement of those 24/7 losers and the team of Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza didn't help.

Carrillo and Garza got zero reaction from the live crowd. Again, much like with Shotzi's fumbles, management will take notice of this. Still, what do they expect when they dress some fresh heels up like "ghouls" and make them feud with a tag-team who...aren't even a real tag-team?
