5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (June 5)

3. Ye Olde Short Jokes

Shorty G Mojo Rawley

It's 2020, an era when most professional wrestlers lack the height of yesteryear's giants, and yet WWE are still pretending that Chad Gable's height holds him back. How can this be put any clearer? THE GUY IS APPROXIMATELY THE SAME HEIGHT AS 80-90% OF THE F*CKING ROSTER.

There, that feels better.

It's true too. "Shorty G" shouldn't even be a thing - it's painful to sit through promos in which heels guffaw at his physical stature like it's relevant humour, and it's even more excruciating that Chad simply rolls his eyes and refuses to do anything about their bullying. This sh*t is tired and it needs the boot.

WWE wanted to try something with Gable, cool. They should have the sense to realise that it isn't working and that he needs the same treatment as serious workers like Drew Gulak though. He'd be crap too if he was cast as 'Shorty' Gulak and had to put up with this nonsense.
