WWE Battleground 2017: 19 Best Internet Reactions To The Great Khali's Return

13. Patriotism, Who Cares?

To anyone who isn't a flag-waving American, WWE's obsession with patriotism and creating a xenophobic image of the "foreign other" is nothing short of embarrassing, but worse than that, it's felt boring and played-out for at least two or three decades, so its continued use just feels eye-rollingly cheap.

This was a nothing match for all the non-Americans watching, a match so retrograde that it seemed to be bordering on self-parody.

You know who this really sucks for, though? Rusev. The guy already got thoroughly schooled by John Cena a few years ago, many times. Does he really need to be run through the same humiliating cycle once again? Boring.
