5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Dec 10)

Downs...

6. That New Crown

First, the bad stuff.

What is up with that new crown WWE made for King Woods? The thing is way too big for his head, so it just looks ridiculous. Granted, the thought of grown dudes strutting around with a fake wrestling crown is silly anyway, but this one is a monstrosity that needed some more thought.

Despite the fact that Woods needed his own customised crown after The Bloodline destroyed his old one, this erm...yeah, this just looked rather rubbish. It actually kinda seemed like Xavier had crafted the crown himself - a humble Jerry Lawler effort? Not in modern-day WWE. Go big or go home, son.

Let's suggest that it'll take a while before Woods looks comfortable wearing this. The unicorn horn style is far too bulky for his skull, and the large "X" in the middle (whilst understandable) makes it even more toy-ish. Maybe that's what WWE were going for.
