No more “heel mocks face with hired actors” segments, please

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I felt like I’d better start this one so there’s at least a calm before the storm. I’ll unlock it when RAW finishes.

But, seriously... The hell was that? Three years in a row now we’ve had one of these segments where the heel brings out hired actors to mock the babyface for some reason (Old Day in 2016, Bayley This Is Your Life last year and this one), and now they have to throw the powderkeg that is transvestisism into the mix, and all the outcry that could bring.

They need to stop going to this well, because we’re staring down the barrel at three straight years of these segments “winning” Golden Snowcones for worst promo. It’s not like there was much to that well to begin with... Rock This Is Your Life in 1999 was very much of its time, and only gets lionised because of how high it rated.

(Now to guard this open fire and gasoline-soaked hay for the next hour)

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

OK, I guess this will just be a general thing about the genre of segment, not about the specific segment from tonight.

What if they hired lou diamond phillips tho?

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

However if it leads to another story like Big Cass's? Feel free to do them...

I like that Sami took the time while he was in Europe to hire the Albany-based actors guild in order to mock a man a week later.

And people say the main roster lacks long-term storytelling

I think the more pressing issue is that the most interesting thing WWE came up with for Bobby Lashley is that he has three sisters and loves them.

Next week we learn about Bobby Lashley's favorite dog breed and what kind of knot he uses for his ties.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Lashley was more interesting in his first run, and this is coming from a huge fan of his.

I think Cass beating up a little person is going to win the Snowcone for the sheer stupidity behind the scenes, but point taken.

[RadcapRadsley]

Unpopular opinion,I enjoyed the one time Alberto Del Rio hired an obese chick to play Lita.Other then that agreed these segments are always awful

[Stone Coke Miami Watson 🥃]

The depressing thing is that Vince was probably in gorilla laughing like a little school child over this while others shook their heads in disbelief..

[siredger]

I'm so glad I switched channels before it even began.

I just want one of the talent to step up and tell Vince how stupid it is. I guess there is the fear of getting Cass’d for standing up for yourself but you (in this case Zayn and Lashley) look like a damn doofus by going through with it.

[MolotovMocktail]

It worked in the Attitude Era (E&C mocking the Dudleyz by bringing out their "parents"), but it's just forced-funny in PG programming.

[A Platypus Rave]

as I said elsewhere at the very least can we have the faces interrupt earlier?

I mean what are they sitting there watching and thinking to themselves... "I want to see where they are going with this... it could be a good thing..."

[Yacht Persona]

I am so glad I no longer give this company money.

[Rocky Raccoon]

I only approve when the actor is Will Sasso.
They should just keep hiring him, repeatedly.

[Ryushinku]

So, when would people say is the last time this kind of thing was actually pretty funny and worked for the angle?

Recent years it's tough to think, accepted.
