I haven't watched... well, pretty much anything WWE, so I had to check out YouTube to understand the key issues. f***ing hell. This is one of the most lifeless and lethargic "angry beatdowns" I have ever seen. Even when the match is over his reaction is more akin to someone who's just kind of annoyed and saying "aww, man."

This....this is all leading up to "Damian vs. Priest" isn't it... ...they're going to turn my dude into Ethan Page/Karate Man except it won't be as irreverent or silly......... (god I hope this is just all a big plot to bring Jake Roberts back in)

Love to be told to make strained, weird faces at work by my insane boss.

I didn't watch that video till right now and yeah... wow... for something like that to work you have to like... look like you have something behind your hits... I mean you don't ahve to actually lay into people it's wrestling so it's bullshit but... if your gimmick is that you get so pissed off you can't control yourself you should have some snap in your offense... and... like there's nothing behind those strikes. Remember when AJ Lee had a similar gimmick? She, a 90lb woman, laid her shit in better than Priest.

Like damn, she did not hold back at all.

Like, the guy clearly has zero conviction.

Hell remember when Io initially turned heel and she finally just loses it on Candace. Io is not someone who is talked about her acting but that switch from blank expression to this joyous smile as happieness finally overcomes her is such a great quick but very telling in how this is no longer the same woman that walked into the cage match to start.

Time for Miz to get his win back?
Let someone who knows what to do with a Midcard title do something with it, please.

"They can't possibly screw up Damian Priest!" People really need to stop saying that the WWE see it as a challenge

He could at least try and put it over like he did with the IC, but mainly I just want SOMEONE to make a bigger deal out of it, Problem is, who else do you have beat him for it? MAYBE Finn, but he’s ice cold right now. Hell, Give it to Theory, just do something that isn’t this.

I've been saying this for a few weeks now, but they shoud think outside the box a bit and give it to someone like Montez Ford instead of having him fight only for the Tag Titles, which has gotten really boring. Theory would be fine as well.

Also, giving him a theme which has a cool opening followed by some church music is guaranteed to deflate any pop he gets.
