I feel like someone just announced Christian Bale at Comicon, and Adam West walked out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; BRAUN TRASH TALK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would like to personally commend Braun Strowman for his epic Raw takedown of J.D. McDonagh in a promo where he so eloquently called him a Funko Pop. There is such a treasure trove of riches to mine from when one is insulting McDonagh. He could have pointed out that he is the spitting image of Lord Farquad from \u201cShrek.\u201d He could have said he looks like someone drew a face on a hot air balloon. He could have pointed out that he looks like a character-branded Hot Wheels car with the giant head poking out of the top. I\u2019m not going to overdo this joke, but I\u2019d like to just add that he also looks like he has to step into his shirts to get dressed, he works for Willy Wonka, he looks like a Hot Topic bobble head, his passport photo is 2 pages, and his forehead looks more like a 6 or 7 head. Okay I promise I\u2019m done now. On the bright side J.D. none of my jokes will ever go over your head. Okay, now I\u2019m really done. Good job, Braun, and please feel free to use any of these gems at your leisure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OVERRATED &#8211; CHAD GOES FULL \u201cMORTAL KOMBAT\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think Chad Gable is doing a much better job with his acting as of late. I\u2019m very happy he lost the \u201cShoosh\u201d from his entrance, and I like this edgy side to him. That said, at times he takes things too far and it borders on cheesy. Case in point, this past Monday on Raw he said he\u2019s coming for Sami\u2019s soul. First of all, I thought you wanted the title. Secondly, his soul?! What is this, \u201cMortal Kombat?\u201d Take it easy there, pal. You\u2019re not auditioning for The Judgment Day. Maybe you are. Also, why are you so moody lately? Otis is so lovable. Did someone pay you late this week? Did they forget to pay their Gable bill?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>CHECK OUT THE LATEST EDITION OF THE WEEKLY PWTORCH DAILYCAST, \u201cACKNOWLEDGING WWE.\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Search \u201cpwtorch\u201d in your podcast app of choice to subscribe to the entire line-up of PWTorch Dailycasts or stream the show from the player below.

In his SmackDown exchange with Cody Rhodes he went from cocky, to nervous, to completely shook and every ounce of it was more believable than a mall Santa with a real beard. This guy goes with wrestling like wings and football. It\u2019s just a combo that\u2019s meant to be. I enjoyed the story they told, the seeds they planted for possible deception in their title match, and Paul\u2019s facial expressions that were so good, I\u2019m convinced he could sell a Blockbuster card to a Netflix exec.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OVERRATED &#8211; ANDRADE\u2019S BAD FONT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Andrade el Idolo\u2019s SmackDown promo package was completely ruined by one of the worst fonts I\u2019ve ever seen used for subtitles. If you go back and watch it, mute it, play some cheesy orchestral score, it legitimately comes off as a Medieval Times promo. Now I don\u2019t have anything against the Times. I\u2019m a fan. I didn\u2019t appreciate the blue knight trying to throw flowers to my wife. But that\u2019s neither here nor there. WWE has all the production value in the world, and they pick that font? Steve Wonder could have selected a better font with hands tied behind his back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; BIANCA\u2019S SUPER POWER BOMB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Smackdown, Bianca Belair\u2019s super power bomb was a sight to behold. That was her Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant moment, and yes I mean actual Andre, not some R-Truth confusion. Someone must have told Bianca it was summer movie season because that had an Oppenheimer 2-level impact.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-775754175\"><div id=\"pwtor-3785261151\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>OVERRATED &#8211; NOT SO JEY USO It\u2019s never a great look to start a Raw episode with a flubbed line, but announcing Jey Uso arriving at the arena, as a fancy car pulls up, only <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2024\/05\/25\/wwe-overs-unders-not-so-jey-uso-braun-trash-talk-chad-gable-goes-mortal-kombat-andrades-bad-font-logans-range-belairs-powerbomb\/\" title=\"WWE OVERS &#038; UNDERS: Not So Jey Uso, Braun Trash Talk, Chad Gable goes &#8220;Mortal Kombat,&#8221; Andrade&#8217;s bad font, Logan&#8217;s range, Belair&#8217;s powerbomb\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":178983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,6930,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-178980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opnionandanalysis","category-over-and-unders","category-specialists"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-25-at-4.51.20-PM.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178980"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":178984,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178980\/revisions\/178984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
