1. Dinosaurs?

WWE has this week released a picture gallery of wrestlers wrestling dinosaurs, in celebration of National Dinosaurs Day. Actual dinosaurs - not Buff Bagwell, Virgil, or any manner of relics who somehow manage to approach relevance in this hyper-saturated social media age. The Canadian B*stard Destroyer has so much to answer for.

It is, in a word, mental.

Tye Dillinger bats away three, not ten, pterodactyls. A missed opportunity. One of the Usos hits a stegosaurus with a frog splash. Either my Mac is on the fritz, or a stray image of WrestleMania 33 has found its way in there. The Miz kicks another dinosaur in the back. Finn Bálor gives one a big cuddle. A brachiosaurus angles its neck towards the Money in the Bank briefcase in a depressing "what if" scenario far more palatable than the idea of Baron Corbin's virtually guaranteed run with the WWE Heavyweight Championship.

Ridiculous as it is, the office drone tasked with the job went to great pains to ensure historical accuracy; Ryback and X-Pac aren't pictured because they predate the Mesozoic Era.
