I'm telling you. I want a camera on Vince so I can see his live reaction when these segments play out.

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. Bobby Lashley, Corgi Enthusiast is a license to print money.

Bobby Lashley will reveal his favorite breed is the Bichon Frise because he saw the Westminster Dog Show, sparking a bitter feud between NBC and Fox executives because Fox obtained the rights to the dog show after USA Network's deal ended.

I guess we will find out if Sami is mocked about it next week.

The skit is a very odd reimagining of how Capcom didn't want to send the message in Final Fight it's ok to beat women, so they said Poison is Trans, because beating Transexuals is apperantly A-Ok.
Edit: saw other thread, i didn't find segment offensive, just stupid. I do think it's stupid to do something like this in 2018 where people run to twitter with tears over a tv shows bad joke.
Edit 2: I would like to say, occasional intergender match would be ok. As long as its booked as a competitive angle and not 1 sided beating. No one cried because Hugo Weaving beat the piss out of Carrie Ann Moss in The Matrix. I never understood why wrestling is held to weird ideals no other media is.

"I'm leaving with Best in Show on February 12 and hell, who knows, maybe I'll defend it at the Japan International Dog Show. Maybe I'll go back to being an Instagram dog. Hey, Doug the Pug, how you doing?"

Like I can't get into the suspension of disbelief for these sort of segments.
If I'm the face being "mocked" with actors playing whoeveri n my life. My reaction would basically be: "Um, what? That's clearly not my family. In fact, you've clearly never met my family. Why do you think making a fool out of yourself like this would piss me off? I mean, come on. This is just sad and desperate."
It's typical WWE writing where they take literally no seconds considering how this sort of thing works in kayfabe because "It's entertaining, dammit!"
The reason 'This is your Life, Rock' worked, was because Foley was trying way too hard to kiss up to the Rock who was just being sardonic to everything. Basically an exact reaction you'd expect from someone in that same position.

I hate "Rival brings out midget dressed as rival". I even dislike segments where actual wrestlers imitate their rivals. It's just not funny. Like in kayfabe thats suppose to be getting one over on the heel? Who would give a shit?

It's the worst thing they can do on a wrestling show. Even Hornswoggle segments were not nearly as cringeworthy. It's juvenile booking that kids don't even enjoy.

They are always shit, and one of many reasons why it's hard to expand the fanbase, I'd be embarrassed to watch segments like these with non fans.

It was horrible and had no hope of being funny or to move along a died at all. It was dead on arrival.
The segment wasn't meant to make Same more hates, Lashley more adored but it was made for us to go "LOL look at the guys in dresses"
Again it makes me feel WWE isn't trying to put in entertaining programming but just doing whatever they can to fill up three hours on Monday

In the time they spend on shitty comedy segments they could have a few jobber matches and actually get people over.
