Jason Jordan is up against it.

Nobody actually buys that he is Kurt Angle's biological son, and the reveal angle a couple of weeks back was deeply underwhelming. The threatening text messages sent to Kurt Angle didn't damage his reputation because he wasn't even married when he had the absolute temerity to have sex in college. Tepid is the word for this "hot" summer angle - so much so that WWE anticipated that Jordan would receive boos during his appearance on MizTV. He didn't. The reaction he received was apathetic. "These people, some of 'em, have been booing you," Miz claimed.

WWE's solution, on Monday Night RAW, was to position Jordan in said segment as the latest in a long line of hack comedians. "You know what, Miz? They're gonna boo, they're gonna cheer, they'e gonna do whatever they want, and that's cool. But you and I both know, that when it comes to boos, you're the expert on that, aren't you?"

Absolutely nobody in the crowd involuntarily elbowed their buddies in shock that Jordan went there. Nobody whizzed across the hard camera with their hands across their cheeks, their eyes rolling into the back of their heads in reaction to this supa hot fire.

That might have something to do with the fact that this was baloney, fudge and mustard-level lameness. And it was meant to get him over. I think. Why is nobody putting a stop to this epidemic?
