Now, I like Elias, but did we need 3 segments with him, only one (the last one), that had any point?

Elias is like Waylon Jennings as the narrator on the Dukes of Hazard...except significantly more terrible.

Way too much Elias for a dumb payoff.

Elias desperately needs a retool or to go back to being a face or to go to SmackDown or something. His shit is so goddamn stale at this point and they make it so obvious he only gets so much screentime because it makes for easy filler.

I shouldn’t not have to see Elias 3 times in 1 show

They need to rejig his gimmick so he serves as a Greek chorus, appearing to sing a recap of the show so far, and explain some character motivations that perhaps weren't clear to the audience.

I liked that the tune he was playing was “I Got the Blues. A really good Rolling Stones deep cut.

I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been better said by others, but there seemed to be an Elias appreciation thread every week months back. They really know how to take good things and run them into the ground, huh?
For the record, I still like him. He's like Corbin though, you can't be having the guy all over the damn show.

Tbh I didn't mind it since he had some good roasts for the faces.
What I don't get is why they had a heel give him comeuppance instead of a face who would have been cheered for finally getting rid of it.

At this point i'd prefer he just play his guitar in backstage segments so I don't have to sit through him getting cheap heat from the live audience. If he really has to diss the fans have him walk down the ramp singing a song instead of his theme and just get it over with quickly. No silly interruptions.

Not even a title win, actual stories. Besides feuding with Seth for a few weeks,which long term feud he had?What effects he had on the other wrestlers stories and characters? You could erase him from history and nothing would change |

The WWE overdoing something to the point of nausea? I never thought I’d see the day.

I said the same thing last night that he was being the Greek Chorus. I actually thought it was a pretty fun use of him last night. At least his bits were kept reasonably short and it was a running commentary on the show rather than his usual rambling, tired routine. He probably had less overall screen time than on a typical Raw.

More for the live crowd, I would imagine. They certainly seemed to be reacting to him. And he didn't take up too much time, did he?
For the record I think it could help his presentation if he signed off properly ("Thank you, goodnight, you've been a horrible audience!"), like the end of a real gig, to give him more week-to-week heat ahead of an eventual payoff. Instead of having to keep booking these weird awkward interruptions.

I did love his sign off - “Thank you, goodnight, I love none of you”. That cracked me up. I’m still an Elias fan, I just thought it was pointless turning him back heel.
