It seems unfair to pick on such a legendarily bad account but this joke is just so poorly written and then the #kayfabe at the end is the chef's kiss. It stinks!

2016 Smackdown has aged real bad once you remember how much of it was built around James Ellsworth

The eternal cycle of WWE: it's funny the first time, then it has all possible enjoyment extracted from it and ground into a rough, dry powder, and then the guy turns out to be a sex criminal.

There was that Pie, uh, thing he did about 20 years ago, but that poo poo was barely even music, let alone fit for listening.

He also featured in "It Doesn't Matter" by Wyclef Jean, which wasn't fantastic either, but it was better than "Pie," at least.

It really is impressive how committed they are to being the worst circlejerk sub, a genre of subreddit that is tailor-made to be completely loving terrible. They've been committed to it long before AEW even existed.

I think we've found it. We've found THE take. This is the Take you find at the top of Mount Take after defeating the Take Monster in the cave beneath the summit. We are witnesses to the final victory of the rear end over the brain.

Pack it in, close the thread, behead it and chuck it in a mass grave after torturing a confession out of it, it's over.

Nobody botched a bigger lay up than Brian Cage, AEW gave him everything you need to succeed in the promotion and he failed to convert.

Joey Janela is the only person on the male roster who I think AEW should be doing more with what he's giving them.

The fact that nobody remembers that Brian Cage has been in the main event scene already speaks volumes for how big an impression he leaves with audiences.

poo poo, I don't even think he cracks my Top 10 favorite guys from Lucha Underground.

Tonight's Rampage recap indicates that CSS's recapper thinks the main takeaway from Eddie Kingston's matches against Bryan Danielson and CM Punk is that they were both 100% right and that he's fat and lazy and needs to learn how to work hard, and as such he was disappointed and confused that he didn't lose.

So it's not surprising they had this take, too. (IIRC they also thought that the Nightmare Collective poo poo was good).

They released Tom Phillips??? Christ almighty, dude was by far the Fed's best play-by-play announcer. Genuinely good for him that he's landed on his feet.

Replacing Matt Striker with literally anyone (except for maybe that guy who did Heroes of Wrestling) would be a step up. Replacing him with someone who was able to be noticeably good at calling wrestling even with Vince screaming in his ear is legitimately the biggest W Impact has taken in years.

the aew ranking system is dogshit but a good version of it would be cool

It's dumb as balls, but still extremely good because it means there's a number in parentheses after every wrestler's name that means you absolutely can't get away with not protecting the wrestlers you intend to push.

Bray Wyatt is quite good at coming up with gimmicks. Maybe one of the best of all time. Man has been able to hype himself up multiple times after moments that should have ended his career.

He is, unfortunately, quite bad at pretty much every other aspect of professional wrestling. Hence why he's needed to reinvent himself so many times.

I like how the Elite are either idiot moron doofuses or brilliant long term strategists depending on who they’re interacting with.

They’ve been carefully planning to fleece Tony Khan for YEARS and have built up an inner circle of wrestlers and non-wrestlers but also they’re dumb bozo jerks who offended CM Punk with their childlike antics.

Absolutely none of them have been able to come up with a unified theory of This Is All the Elite's Fault that is even internally consistent, much less consistent with all the other ones.

Cena was right not to put him over.

The fact that WWE had a good long look at Gable Steveson and said "No, I don't think we can afford to have this guy go over BARON CORBIN" is all the evidence you need that he just doesn't loving have it at all.
