4 Ups And 10 Downs From WWE Raw (Dec 27)

2. ‘Send Veer’

Believe it or not, that’s not this writer trying to be funny or creative.

It was WWE’s Twitter account, trying to be cheeky – and failing miserably. If you miss the reference, “Send Hook” has been the ongoing gag/line for Team Taz when they finally unleashed Hook on AEW earlier this month to great success so far. It’s caught on pretty strongly in the AEW world.

So when WWE’s official Twitter account used it Monday night, there was no mistaking it. And hey, “borrowing” stuff that’s working elsewhere is a time-honored tradition in wrestling. But the fact they used it for Veer, a guy who has been advertised as “Coming to Raw” for three months now, so much so that it’s become a joke, is such a self-own by WWE that you can’t help but laugh at them

The company just can’t find a way not to make a mockery of itself somedays.
