4. What's My Age Again?

That header image, of Elias attempting to avoid vegetables thrown by babyface hopeful Jason Jordan, isn’t one of those crazy photoshop galleries WWE released a couple of months back. This isn’t ‘If WWE Superstars Were Vegetables’. There’s no Bo Dallas moonlighting as a carrot. There’s no lanky, green Baron Corbin masquerading as asparagus. There’s no Jinder Mahal reimagined as an onion because what he’s done to the once-prestigious WWE Championship makes you want to f*cking cry.

No, this was an actual thing that happened. At Sunday’s Bizarro World TLC pay-per-view, WWE - Vince McMahon, let’s face it - genuinely thought his audience would get a kick out of watching Jason Jordan, who we are meant to cheer, interrupt Elias’ concert by throwing vegetables at him. Like he was a loveable scamp, and not a childish brat.

Writers, whenever possible, try not to use the personal pronoun as a crutch because, honestly, what do you care what I think? One of you pops up on every article I write just to call me a c*nt (thank you for continuing to enable my life, incidentally).

But no. I’m 32 years old. Married with a family. I am doing alright by the standards of An Adult. And yet I’m still watching CBeebies-level sh*te hours after I don’t have to because Vince McMahon takes South Park’s portrayal of Rob Schneider at face value.
