You’ll notice that I had to use an AEW picture of Danhausen. That’s because WWE did not bother to upload any pictures of his WWE debut to the website.

It feels like Danhausen’s WWE debut was the definition of a half-measure. Sure, he got a full entrance and an army of go-go dancers, but he was given so little to do that the United Center crowd booed the segment in bewilderment. 

And who can blame them? The whole segment was him pointing. Sometimes pyro would go off, but mostly he was just pointing as an ironic Scooby Doo song played in the background. It was the comedy wrestling equivalent of feeding a guy to the lions and then being surprised there’s no hand left to shake afterwards.

Danhausen is perfect for WWE, and the glimmers of promise in his debut leave me excited for what they can come up with, but it’s impossible to deny that his debut fell flat.
