I much prefer it when pro wrestling takes itself seriously, and those who participate in it have less performance and more fighters fighting to the death. I know this is an archaic point of view and, because WWE is the most prominent promotion in the world, it is totally ridiculous on my part to insure so expensive.
So, I try to find little things to rejoice.
To that end, I found my new favorite thing across the WWE.
It all started here:
And it was solidified in this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown in this segment (I’m using this video because it includes the relevant parts for this article, which WWE and FOX have cut from their videos):
If you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s not the program itself, it’s your host, Bayley, and your stubborn insistence that all guests, even if they’re interrupting, use the floating door installed in the ring to type. I thought maybe it was a little bit for the debut episode a month ago when she did it for Bianca Belair, but after she yelled at Reginald to use the door if he was going to interrupt and then called Sasha Banks “idiot” while screaming with her to use the door that cemented it for me.
Sometimes it is even the small details that make segments like this memorable, at least for me.
Scream at Bayley for making it so much more fun than it would have been otherwise.
