But for one night of the year - namely, this past Sunday - WWE generally insist on turning up the heat higher than an inexplicably disgruntled office building receptionist, and things were back to their toasty best just quarter of an hour into the post-WrestleMania SmackDown.

The whole arena was perfectly happy to bask in the resplendent glow of Kofi Kingston's championship celebrations, but of course we had to have an interruption. Just as they did last night, it was evil foreigners The Bar interloping everybody's enjoyment, and they were very loudly and quite rightly greeted with a vulgar invitation to sling their collective hooks.

Yes, we accept this chaleur-chasing is a necessary part of match-making - especially on a two hour show (and let's enjoy that whilst we can until Fox get their wishes). But couldn't WWE just let this feelgood moment breathe? For once?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
