Downs...

3. Short(y G) Squash

Chad Gable is too talented for this sh*t.

The worst kind of wrestling squash is when the winner gains nothing from it. This Shorty G vs. Sheamus match was exactly that - it did bugger all for either man, which made it totally pointless. Sheamus has already beaten Gable before, and so this didn't exactly set him up for Big E next week.

WWE should stick Chad on NXT, or at least try to do something with him. It's a sad day when he's ineffective as a jobber too. They need to get shot of that stupid-assed name, revert him back into the chain-wrestling marvel of old and get him in that ring against guys he's able to look competitive against.

Shorty doesn't even have heels coming at him with lame height jokes anymore. His WWE career is a complete mess, and it's so sad to see for someone who could wrestle rings around most workers. What an utter waste of time this was.
