3. The ‘Old Day’

What did Gallows & Anderson do to deserve this?

This could very well be the single-worst promo segment of 2016. Gallows & Anderson, two successful gaijin tag team wrestlers from New Japan, debuted on something of a high note. By SummerSlam, their warm reception was tepid, at best. And by the time this segment came along, they were colder than Canadian winter.

This segment was the epitome of Vince’s terrible sense of humor. Jokes about senility, farts, urine and more farts. We were supposed to take G&A seriously after this segment, but this effectively killed off what little credibility they had left. They were no longer viewed as an invading menace from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Instead, they’re now seen as two guys lost in the RAW mid-card without any distinguishable characteristic.

Please, WWE, never do a segment like this again, no matter how much Vince and his circle of cronies might find it funny.
