7 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE Raw (Jan 20)

4. Cancel This Segment

We’ve seen a couple times now the Street Profits go in front of a green screen and do a poor imitation of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update. If we never see it again, it’ll be too soon.

The segment featured Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford reading bad WWE-themed jokes to an annoying laugh track. It was flaming hot garbage. Period. There’s no other way to say it.

Street Profits are best when they get to poke fun in a more natural setting. Even their backstage antics can seem forced at times, but at least out from behind the desk, they look more like themselves and can roll with things easier. But this segment just constrains them to read horrific jokes, as if that will make fans enjoy their antics more.

Please, please, please put a bullet in this segment once and for all.
