This was the worst part of Smackdown. However irritating Cody's win might be to a segment of the audience, there's at least a case to be made for it. Clowning out the newcomer who has been getting over organically is inexcusable. Trick can recover from this, but not if they do it repeatedly. It's already looking like HHH sees him as the black LA Knight.
>>20027602>get over>get immediately cooled down>enjoying the show?
Man black fragility really is crazy
>>20027602It's just showing how far Trick has to go to get on Orton's level. If it was Kit Wilson that fucked him up, then that would be a clowning.
hes a heel. He's not supposed to look good
>>20027602I liked it cause now I have this gif.
>>20027874FASTER
>>20027602>be joe hendry>get mainstream viral attention>nah, lets let him cool off for a year>bet he wont be over then>lose another potential drawgreat booking by HHH
>>20027873Unless he's Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Orton himself, or any other heel character who started getting so over so quickly that Vince decided it would be unwise to undermine their image with shit like this.>>20027866There are more effective ways of showing that Trick isn't on Orton's level yet without making him look like a tard. The comical over-selling in the bottom half of the image cuts against the slick shit-talker character that instantly got over with the audience. This is simply bad writing. It's like HHH can't stomach anyone rising before going through the same phase he went through when he was punished after the curtain call incident. He shouldn't fuck around when he constantly tries and fails at getting someone like Vaquer over and then gets gifted with someone like Trick who could make things easier for him.
>>20027889fuck joe hendry
>>20027891Easiest way to get trick over would have been an actual match, with the stipulation if trick wins he gets added to the main eventCould have been a nice 15-20 minute banger before the main event instead of that tag slop
>>20027611Kek. The second they get a single gibs me dat refused it's time to cry.
>>20027602gain a brain
>>20029170attempt to make a point
>>20029216nobody sees this shit as a burial except retarded smarks
>>20029247Only a retarded smark would say that. A new character that has been connecting with the audience faster than anyone in some time was made to look foolish and weak against someone who's been established as a top guy forever. When we look at the career trajectories of other stars who started getting over as heels before transitioning to top babyfaces, we don't see anything like this.
