4 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sep 24)

2. Talk Show Troubles

Regular readers of this very article will know just how high the dude writing it is on Baron Corbin's new 'Happy' character. He's showing some personality in the role, and anything was gonna' be better than more royal guff (that had run its course). Sadly, WWE have saddled him with the ultimate heel trope.

The dreaded talk show.

'Happy Talk' has come to SmackDown, and it joins the 'Kevin Owens Show', 'A Moment Of Bliss, 'Miz TV' and 'Ding Dong, Hello' as being utterly atrocious. Honestly, these talk show skits are just so useless now. They're played out beyond belief, and WWE are fools if they think Corbin's variation has long-term legs.

Riddick Moss, who re-debuted as Corbin's sidekick, deserves a chance in his new role, but this feud with KO is going nowhere and the 'Happy Talk' idea is pure garbage. This better not become a weekly staple. It's already old and that was the first edition!
