It’s Official: WWE RAW Can’t Get Any Worse

"Are you sure?! Because it damn sure looks like you're laughing at the Miz saying the word "correct"! How could you do this to me?"

That segment with the fresh tomatoes was something you wouldn't want your child walking in on. You're meant to have dignity and authority in the guardian role. Caught watching RAW, you might as well be sat there sucking your thumb in a pile of your own smushed sh*t.

It's a children's television show, mark, the rabid adult fans of the children's television show might say in defensive response. Would you want your children to watch a show featuring a psychopathic murder clown being incinerated?

On the subject of children, sweet Jesus f*cking Christ: Alexa Bliss. Bliss, whose Fiend in the box incidentally mirrors the erections some of you sick freaks spring for a woman mocked up to look like a child - seriously, Drake Wuertz, your help is needed! - is now under the control of an evil doll named Lilly. She always was, as shown through images of Alexa the child - the real one, not the fantasy image conjured by some FBI target in creative - alongside the doll in her youth.

Except she wasn't, because she's played babyface before. She has played a grown-up woman before. Where was Lilly when Bliss was cosplaying as Buzz Lightyear and having a nice time of it with Nikki Cross? Why are literal supernatural happenings sold in the same register as Elias working an overlong 15 match that exposes him in a drab obligation to pump out three hours of television?
