WWE Swerved

[Dave]

As many of you know, the second series of the WWE Network original "Swerved" premiered after Raw on Monday night. And whilst I wasn't too big a fan of the first season of the show, watching through the second season has been pretty surprising. And it's mostly because it, well, pretty good.

First of all, I'm really glad that they switched up the format of the show. Whilst I thought that the first season was not bad, they limited themselves by only pranking WWE Superstars and staff. This time around, they are pranking members of the WWE audience and the eventual public. To be honest it makes a massive difference to the way the show is presented. What's more, they have been a lot more inventive this time around and it makes a big difference. The humour is a little more geared towards adults too, despite having a few segments with kids involved.

Rwgardless, I've been enjoying it. But what about you guys? Have you finished it? And if so, what did you like / dislike about it?

The New Day skit was hilarious. But I hope they don't just stick with pranking the audience which is what I think they'll do. There were things on the first season I really enjoyed and things I felt invaded the wrestlers personal space just a little. Paige's acting in the ear ring skit was embarrassing but I'm intrigued to watch on. I really want to see The Club behind the scenes and this might be the way we get to see that.

I've only seen the first 3 episodes, but so far I liked the first season better. It's still funny, but I don't care about them messing with random people, I want to see the wrestlers themselves getting ribbed. I know that was probably not fun for them as it kept them on edge backstage in a work environment, but the reason I felt it made for good TV was because it showed you a glimpse of their real personalities. In this format, they are essentially still playing a character. Also, it feels like the jokes just go on way too long, like Miz trying to get backstage with the security guy, funny the first time, funnier the second, but by the like 5th time, it just seemed stupid. I'll wait until I've seen them all to fully judge it, but I think it should be a mix, they still need to have the occasional WWE talent rib in there.
