6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (31 Jan)
Dog food or dog sh*t?
Vince McMahon loves any excuse to play sophomoric pranks.
Why else would the real big boss man book his wrestlers to fart on screen, crap their pants due to explosive diarrhoea or eat disgusting amounts of dog food over the years? It's childish, it's over-the-top, it's WWE sports entertainment, and this week...it was a great laugh.
That's right, there's no po-faced criticism in this article about 'King' Corbin's misfortune. In fact, it was one of the biggest 'Ups' from a night of Royal Rumble follow up that also had its fair share of 'Downs'. WWE are very much back to killing time between now and WrestleMania, it seems.
Still, they did at least make time to set up some stuff for both Elimination Chamber and the ill-needed (or wanted, depending on your tolerance) Super ShowDown special in Saudi Arabia at the end of February. The company could've done without at least one of those shows, that's clear, and this week's SmackDown proved that.
