6 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Nov 10)

3. Alicia Fox & Her Suspicious Hat

WWE is a toxic company, one which invites deep cynicism. Meticulously micromanaged, nothing happens there by accident - and Alicia Fox's new choice of headgear is quite suspicious.

We're entering full-blown conspiracy theory territory here, which probably says more about your dead-inside author than it does about Alicia's probably-quite-innocent decision to put her Survivor Series Team Captain gimmick over with a sailor's hat. But doesn't she look eerily like one Kairi Sane, whose bizarre nautical attire you can absolutely see Vince McMahon perceiving with pure, unadulterated, snarling disgust? Walk the plank, pal.

Even in a week in which JINDER MAHAL IS NO LONGER WWE CHAMPION, WWE invites this sort of skepticism. Tyler Bate must have done something to p*ss somebody off; the first poster child of the United Kingdom Title jobbed cleanly to Enzo Amore in a damning match on 205 Live - a match held in his own country. The company simply enjoys this sort of behaviour, even when established story line logic resists it.

It stands to reason that the same man who only hired an Asian woman when he was told people masturbate over them would look at another Asian woman with scorn.
