Remember the time WWE did "It's Just A Prank Bro" so hard to their own people that the following seasons had to be about pranking random people in malls? What a time to be alive, I wish Ric Flair was still getting stopped at security gates till he loses his shit.

The R-Truth in an elephant costume prank was good and fun. That's pretty much the only one I remember.

Bronze Big Show at Titan Tower was a good prank.
Honestly I thought the show was good for what it was. Dumb but harmless.

I remember a few stories of WWE wrestlers absolutely loathing this show to the point of like taking psychic damage trying to go about their lives in fear of pranks like they were being hunted by Dr. Eggman.

Totally remember hearing similar shit. People dreaded this shit. And to make it worse, I think this is when they were going crazy with creating Network content so there were always extra cameras around just escalating the issue

I mean, that's what you get for living in Florida. You never know when a fat old man with a mustache and sunglasses might break into your house and steal your emeralds or small animals.

I actually knew one of the people who got pranked (the Art Gallery prank). She worked at the cafeteria in the building I worked at.
She claims she had no idea it was a setup.

I feel bad cry laughing at like probably one of the worst experiences in this dude's life but oh my god Titus O'Neil kicked the camera out of his hand and attacked him with a cattle prod and probably had a huge ass smile on his face the whole time with some bouncy ass music scheduled to be inserted in the back that's so f***ed up it's magical And Saraya probably did some evil British shit to boot!!

The best one is where Kofi gets absolutely blasted in the face with powder and screams like someone jammed a needle in his eye

I like to imagine it as Saraya wearing rubber gloves, holding the man down as Titus alternates between stomping on the cameraman's hands and then shocking him with the cattle prod while Jackass Producer guy stands a few feet off screen giggling.

This also reminds me, does anyone else remember the lawsuit filed by a WWE.com interviewer around I think the 2013 Rumble alleging that Big Show just started f***ing roughing dude up mid interview like WAY beyond any parameters that made sense? I always think about it and I have no clue what came of it lmao.

Am I reading it wrong? Didn't Paige shock Titus, who then kicked the camera man? Where's all this about the camera man getting the cattle prod?

And honestly...is it really a prank show when someone reacts exactly how they would naturally react if someone did something physical to them. I don't think that flinching is akin to a prank.

These sort of shows were all over TV at one point, there is even a few still left with practical jokes being the theme. MTV had about 4 different ones at one point.
I dont really see this as any more mean spirited than any of those.
Surprised it was called 'Swerved' and not 'Ribbed,' given the usual wrestling terminology - and the chance for them to make innuendo out of the name.
