If WWE Was Being Honest About RETRIBUTION

WWE SmackDown Retribution

They also hacked the ring ropes with a gimmicked chainsaw the production crew - the production crew commandeered by RETRIBUTION - zoomed in on to reveal was pathetically flapping about a bit. The existing SmackDown roster, the stars you are meant to be in awe of, sh*t their pants in a scene framed identically to the part of the disaster movie where they batten down the hatches. One of the short people also struck the ring canvas really hard with a baseball bat. These men and women knew no boundaries, man, so they attacked the very same building when it was lit red and when it was lit blue.

What happened here is that some decaying bubble-encased lunatic has switched on the news, watched the various protests unfolding across a broken and ablaze United States of America, and said, "We reflect society, which we are in touch with, Conrad" and put a Bane mask on Donovan D*ckhead. It's much too lame to even clutch pearls at.

WWE is so institutionally hopeless that they dreamt up the RETRIBUTION gimmick in parallel with its incredibly extravagant ThunderDome concept. A blinding major arena-scale laser show that incorporated several expensive LED boards on which to transmit the image of virtual fans, some Fedpilled mutants connected what they perceived to be dots.

Obviously, WWE is going all in on this new main event heel act by booking the agents of chaos to lay waste to the Amway Center - thus creating a seismic scene following which nothing would ever be the same again - because it would open up a gigantic plot hole if they did not.

They did not.
