My God this was awful.

There was a story - there was so dramatic weight to it at all but by God there was a story, and this sends the blood pulsing into the d*cks of Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard under the erroneous belief that it separates WWE from pro wrasslin'.

Braun Strowman was briefly a member of the Wyatt Family when everybody had given up on WWE doing anything with the Wyatt Family, he wasn't in the Wyatt Family very long, and he was infinitely better off when he left the Wyatt Family.

So there are three things that are immediately f*cked here: i) Why would Strowman even entertain the notion of returning to Bray Wyatt's learning tree, and if he wasn't conflicted, and it was but a ploy to win the match, ii) how dumb and or delusional is Wyatt? iii) Additionally, why, as with Drew McIntyre, is WWE reminding us that either the performer or the process sucked in the very recent past? Just present these motherf*ckers as stars. It isn't hard.

At one point in the match, the halfway acceptable wrestling portion of it, Michael Cole remarked that the scene unfolding in front of him was like "two bulls going at it".

If only; this was two horrendous amateur thespians going at it, in front of puppets, and at the finish, Strowman placed the black sheep mask over his face to suggest that he was coming home. It was a ruse, but in the confines of the empty gym setting, it looked like a rehearsal for the sort of play a "cuck" like me would get annihilated for enjoying in any other context other than a wrestling company that brainwashes you with its initials.

The most pretentious load of sh*te you'll ever see.

Star Rating: NOWT
