He needs to do a ten minute amazingly produced Broadway-like musical dance number dedicated to telling his enemies to eat s*** in as many ways as possible.
THEN he will truly be John Oliver.

All because John Oliver had the nerve to say that their business model is complete bullshit.

Legitimately shocked it has taken wrestling this long to borrow from the Daily Show/Last Week format. It was fine, at very least they’re letting folk try different stuff with their promos.

I think I might like Nathan Frazer now. I guess this is replacing Stevie Turner (seriously where the hell did she go?) as Brit with a modern gimmick where a quick talking segment can be used every week.
Also is it me or does he look 80's Phil Collins now?

I remember Adam Rose (remember him?) between his heel turn that nobody cared about and the forming of the Social Outcasts did something like this that lasted like.. a week. Also, I might have to change my username to Nathan Frazier’s Hairline.

It’s not Vince because he doesn’t book NXT but it might be someone (Fraser himself probably) believing it’s a good way to get Vince’s attention.
I thought it was okay, didn’t blow me away but made me interested enough to check out the next one so job done.

Hope this last more than that streamer girl whose segments were called out on social media for using wrong streaming equipment

Whatever WWE is trying to pull here, John Oliver will get the last laugh.

I do really enjoy how NXT under HBK is willing to go completely off the f***ing wall in finding fresh ways to present wrestlers. Stevie Turner's streams, Vinci's freeze frame entrance, the Scrypts and Zoey Stark videos, now this — not all of them have been hits, but at least they're freshening things up

I can't get over how f***ing old he looks. 1998, my ass. Now THAT is Carlin/Oliver-worthy.

Just a relatively non-offensive two hour show that can be at least entertaining for its wackiness.

I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand, I freakin love George Carlin. But on the other, I despise John Oliver.

He should be doing a gimmick where he acts just like Gallagher. He gets in the ring and starts smashing fruit and other things with a sledgehammer.

That’s Ben Carter?!
Shit, it looks like he’s aged 10 years since I last saw him around 2 years ago.

This was a nice little segment. Presents Frazer as an actual character. Before this he was just a Good Wrestler.

It wasn't even really mocking him at all, it was just using the presentation aspects of his show as a vehicle for a harmless "I've had it a bit rough lately with my results, but that's OK, these guys are tough so I've just got to get over it and get better" babyface promo. You can tell who actually hasn't watched it yet by the response to it. Like, maybe those kind of cheap potshots against Oliver himself could come in future instalments, sure, but that didn't happen here. Ah, thanks for clearing it up. I can't actually watch it until after work, so I wasn't sure. That said, if they can pull off a parody of Last Week Tonight, I'm all for it. John Oliver is a big wrestling fan, so I imagine he was over the moon happy that he's being used as a base for a gimmick. That's something to be proud of honestly. If the gimmick continues, I can see him mentioning it on his show at some point.
