Right, no chance is this getting spliced into two, as if "each" "match" is worthy of analysis, and I promise I was bang up for it. I want barely-canon farce in wrestling with no fans because the idea of meaningful things happening without them is depressing.

The farce has to be good.

They're WWE wrestlers, but they're in a wacky scenario that isn't much like WWE! isn't inherently amusing. It is a potentially amusing scenario that functions to enable comedy. In the 2020 Money In The Bank Ladder match, no comedy was forthcoming.

A guy who didn't look remotely like any of the Doinks made a cameo appearance behind a chair dressed up as Doink. That was the gag: a clown used to wrestle for us in the '90s, but he doesn't belong in this corporate environment! He's a clown!

The ruthlessly efficient self-own element aside, you'd have to have watched this period of WWE to even smile wryly at this. Unless you're a dumbsh*t who guffawed at the mere sight of a clown with your dumbsh*t head hurhurhurhurhur.

WWE is playing self-referential Monkey Tennis with its Pimm's-drinking boomer fanbase, and given all those retro RAW episodes, part-timer WrestleMania appearances, and tumbling ratings, a tedious set with a never-ending tie break has been lost. The actual action wasn't worth a damn, so it's not worth writing about.

What is is the bullsh*t, but very briefly...

CONT'D...
