Woof.

Perhaps it’s unfair to harshly judge Snoop Dogg, who was on hosting duties during WrestleMania 39 when he was thrust into the role of emergency wrestler.

Continuing a theme from the first night, when Pat McAfee emerged to challenge and defeat co-host The Miz, Shane McMahon came out that Sunday to fight his former tag partner and rival. This gave fans the instantly meme-worthy Michael Cole call of “Shane’s still got it!” just seconds before Shane-O-Mac blew out his knee/leg on a leapfrog.

With everything falling apart, Snoop stepped in as a mid-match substitute for McMahon, dropping Miz and putting him away with possibly the worst-looking People’s Elbow in history. Mercifully, it was over.

Snoop deserves a ton of credit for stepping up and competing while in a tracksuit. But this was bad, almost embarrassingly reality-breaking bad.
