Anyone who follows this article regularly will know how high yours truly once was on Happy Corbin's new gimmick. Sadly, WWE has done nowt to make him watchable since he hit the jackpot, and adding Madcap Moss into the equation hasn't helped.

'Happy Talk' is another waste of minutes.

Michael Cole and Pat McAfee appear to have been told to press the reset button on The Viking Raiders too. They've been in the promotion for years, guys - nobody needs to hear about why they're into viking stuff anymore. WWE should be past that by now, surely?!

Erik and Ivar are already struggling despite only landing on SmackDown in the 2021 Draft. Their interactions with Corbin and Moss were flimsy, and the resultant tag match ended in a lame count out that did sod all for anyone involved.
