...wrestling for 30 seconds before a returning Duke Hudson interfered, beating him and his opponent up for a DQ, then Duke hit Chen with an awful powerbomb.
It's just REALLY REALLY WEIRD to have this emotional video package about the dude getting injured and losing his father and his hard journey back to the ring. For THAT?

…So I take it you’re NOT pissed off at Duke Hudson for ruining the match?

Now come on guys don't be so doom and gloom about it. Clearly this is leading to Chen getting revenge on Duke Hudson for ruining his return by beating him in a match losing to him in 3 minutes next week. Because WWE just loves putting smiles on peoples faces.

Duke interfering didn't make me want to see him get his ass kicked. It just made me sad that I didn't get to see Dante get his win. There's a difference between getting heat and annoying your viewer and I felt the latter tonight. Just have him do a post match attack of something.

This was one part of the show last night that didn’t sit well with me.
It’s one thing if his backstory were just kayfabe, but dude’s IRL dad passed away. Come on now.

Hmm. I hate to tell you, but I think that was meant to be the point of that exercise. Why should we hate the wrestler when it's the bookers who did it? You want us to hate the guy for that in kayfabe, then make that his kayfabe reason for doing the attack. I just watched it, and the funniest part is he does the "stand up and turn around so I can hit you!" motion, and then just immediately runs forward and kicks him in the back. |

Really ya'll are missing the headline that the great Duke Hudson has returned.
