7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (May 7)
1. House. Of. Horrors!
The first thing you have to wonder is "how long did that tractor drive itself for?" Is it still running, and is maybe stuck in a ditch somewhere in California?
The second thing you have to wonder is "how many years will it be before WWE airs a dumber match than House of Horrors?" Third: "how many more matches like this can the company survive through?
All right, so Lucha Underground does this sort of style where they use a bunch of angles and post-produce the hell out of their fights and whatnot. But they keep things consistent. Every vignette in their world is shot that way. WWE has conditioned their fans to know that 99.9% of the time when people fight, a cameraman is there recording the action. It's just not possible then for House of Horrors to have been filmed without seeing someone holding a camera in the background because there were so many angles. Plus, an editor would have had to be at the ready throwing in shots of dolls when Kevin Dunn yelled in their ear to do so.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, it was daylight in California when the match happened. It shouldn't have been dark. The Wyatt Family clearly came from swampland, but now that's been retconned to...20 miles outside of San Jose? That doesn't feel right at all. Plus, Randy Orton can either freaking teleport, or he has access to a sweet jetpack that he doesn't tell anyone else about. There's no other explanation for how he got to the arena before Bray Wyatt.
Basically, how is it that Vince McMahon doesn't realize that this silly stuff isn't working? Fans s**t all over their worm-filled match at WrestleMania, and the ratings for Raw and SmackDown continue to sink. His solution is more supernatural nonsense? I guess it's his company, he can do what he wants with it, just doesn't seem like a sound business decision.
The next time anyone in WWE makes fun of another wrestling promotion for...well, anything...ever, they need to take a good long look in the mirror first. And not that mirror that morphs Randy Orton's face either....or that one he saw The Undertaker in...just a regular damn mirror, and then, they need to question what they're doing with their lives.
Time to kick out.
