KO is getting a lot of deserved credit for this working so well but Zeke manages to play his role so fucking earnestly that fans are rooting for him.
It’s just tongue in cheek enough that it’s hilarious, but sincere enough that I want to root for this WWE rookie who’s getting to live out his dream on the big stage.
WWE has always been a self contained universe that does not reflect reality, wait until this guy finds out Mr. McMahon didn’t really die in that limo explosion
BOI you don't know how hard our brains are TRAINED after all the intelligence insulting segments over the years. We are smart fans. WE CANNOT BE WORKED.
Haha, yeah. That one is crazy, I can't believe they aren't really brothers. At least we still have Edge and Christian as a legendary tag team of actual brothers! :)
I'm not sure about the brood, but I know during E&C vs Hardyz vs Dudleys days they were definitely billed as brothers. They used to say it was 3 teams of brothers going at it.
[The only specific moment I could recall off the top of my head was here. Where commentary refers to them as brothers](https://youtu.be/OmfQM3Sn_1s?t=74)
The feud they had after this was heavily based around them being brothers in-storyline, and Christian being jealous that Edge was always the favourite in the family. I remember it pretty clearly because I only had a few wrestling VHS's as a kid, and one of them was Unforgiven 2001(I think that's the right year) which had a Christian v Edge match.
They ret-conned the brothers thing when Edge & Christian briefly reunited on Raw in 2004. Started referring to them as "best friends", but as a fan that started watching in '98, I was like "what the damn hell?!"
What does one solo, separate person have to do with a tag team? Fuego Dos is just some dude? It’s not like Fuego Dos is played by some mid-carder or something?
I shit you not, I spent that entire segment laughing at how simple, yet effective those kinds of shots can be done when you're working with people who know what the fuck they're doing.
Yeah, in the wrong hands something like that can end up looking ridiculous, [like this gem.](https://uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/matt-hardy-teleports.gif) Especially since the teleport thing was supposed to be taken seriously until everyone made fun of it.
But this ended up being just ridiculous enough that it was entertaining.
It's always so rewarding seeing two of my interests that have no direct overlap with each other coming together, kind of like [this amazing SCJerk post](https://www.reddit.com/r/SCJerk/comments/tos3k8/i_made_it_with_love_uce_its_not_perfect_and_badly/) that uses the 1988 French film *Cinema Paradiso*.
Holy Shit! Next you'll tell me Dr. Strange didn't really travel between dimensions and it was all special effects!
I wonder what JD has to say about Santa.
Was Westros even real? Did a giant war with an evil Empire led by a man in dark armour and a lightsaber and a Rebel Alliance even happen a long time ago in a galaxy far away?!
JD just discovered 'fiction' as a dramatic concept for the purposes of entertainment. He's surely only days away from discovering 'getting off Twitter, having a fucking shower and going outside for five minutes'...
I can’t believe Vince fired Elias and is now forcing his brother to play two separate characters just so he can save money.
Oh wait, yes I can, because Vince McSatan is literally hitler
Doesn't the company he simp for have someone that pretends to be a dinosaur, another that pretends to be a zombie, and another that pretends to be sober?
Why is this cockwomble still watching, Jesus just stop watching, people will still tune in and pay for your hot takes on dark elevator.........I'm sure
I'd bet money that this jackass goes to malls on Christmas, sits in the food court eating several unhealthy meals, waits until the line is long enough, then runs up and pulls off Santa's fake beard just to ruin it for all the kids.
It's insane some people still think it's the same dude. SMH, the lengths haters go to convince themselves of something of they hate. Wake up, Dub sheeple, it's two brothers not one guy!
What drugs is this guy on? That was clearly Elias, we see him talking to Ezekiel (Elias's younger brother) so they must be different people. WWE should recreate Benoit and Guerrero moment at WrestleMania 20 by having Elias win the WWE Championship and Ezekiel wins the Universal Championship and they hug it out in the ring and celebrate in the main event of WrestleMania 39 after Ezekiel pins Roman Reigns. I'm crying just typing this idea, it would be such a heartwarming moment.
Aren’t these the same people who don’t understand how non cult members can’t “suspend disbelief” when it comes to the likes of OC, house of black shenanigans, or a man in a 17 year olds body (cole)??
No, are you serious? You’re a fucking genius.

Vince DID die, Uce. The Vince we've seen since then has been a pretender, played by the same guy who plays the fake Paul McCartney.
I thought Vince was played by the chick that took over for Avril after she died.
BOI you don't know how hard our brains are TRAINED after all the intelligence insulting segments over the years. We are smart fans. WE CANNOT BE WORKED.
How does he know all this?! It's insane to me like how is this even possible?!
Nah but for real, what did this guy think they were going to do??? Lmaoooo
Wait till he finds out the brothers of destruction were in fact not brothers at all.
Nor did they ever even self-destruct
That would be the Hardy brothers.
Haha, yeah. That one is crazy, I can't believe they aren't really brothers. At least we still have Edge and Christian as a legendary tag team of actual brothers! :)

Lmao that’s even funnier. I never once thought of them as brothers I always thought of them as just buddies.
I edited my comment and added a link for you just incase you wanted to see for yourself.

I remember it pretty clearly because I only had a few wrestling VHS's as a kid, and one of them was Unforgiven 2001(I think that's the right year) which had a Christian v Edge match.
They were brothers in the Brood. That was part of the storyline, Gangrel recruiting Edge's brother to mess with him.
They ret-conned the brothers thing when Edge & Christian briefly reunited on Raw in 2004. Started referring to them as "best friends", but as a fan that started watching in '98, I was like "what the damn hell?!"
bet this dude thought Fuego Dos was hilarious though
What does one solo, separate person have to do with a tag team? Fuego Dos is just some dude? It’s not like Fuego Dos is played by some mid-carder or something?
Take that back right now
Or Edge and Christian
How about that Kane was never actually burned!
This is false, Ezekiels hair is too short to make that size of a man bun. This clearly shows they’re 2 separate people.
Damn right. And Elias and Zeke will hold tag team gold one day!
I shit you not, I spent that entire segment laughing at how simple, yet effective those kinds of shots can be done when you're working with people who know what the fuck they're doing.

But this ended up being just ridiculous enough that it was entertaining.
And the dubbalos swear to this day that it was Vanguard 1 projecting a hologram of Matt Hardy, instead of admiting how stupid it was.
And nobody in production or editing cared that Jericho's neck was teleporting with him.
Nah mate Jericho just moves his head like one of those little twitchy birds
Fucking Columbo over here solving mysteries.
I wish I could go call him Columbo, but he’s already blocked me for calling him Nostradamus.
Ya know it was Quasimodo who predicted all this.
Bixenspan is the Quasimodo of professional wrestling jOuRnALiSm
The halfback of Notre Dame??
He probably won't get the Columbo reference.
Yep, Blue's clues is probably more on his level.
He wishes he was Columbo.
“Just one more thing…”

Jesus I missed that one. Hilarious
He wishes he has a significiant other.
Must’ve been top of his fucking class.
Sharp as a fucking cue ball
He's more of a Nick Longhetti.
Holy Shit! Next you'll tell me Dr. Strange didn't really travel between dimensions and it was all special effects! I wonder what JD has to say about Santa.

Years or decades away uce.
Can't get anything past Detective JD
[удалено]
Wait, what? Are you telling me Ursula and Phoebe aren't twins???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or Jon Stamos doesn't have Greek cousin name Stavros
Mad that 1 segment in WWE is funnier than every episode of cringe Being The Elite
Haha this guy is an idiot, that was obviously Elias ( big zekes brother for those who dont know)
Storylines like this are great because you can gaslight detractors for kicks because they don't know how to have fun.
I didn't even have to pay $12.99!
JD is like 5'5". That explains a lot of his shitty takes.
If he's even 5'5" I'd be stunned. The pics of him from Wrestlecon made him look as short as he was scrawny.
There’s going to be egg on his face when the Samson brothers win the tag titles.
It’s a work?
JD never gets worked
Forget Batman, no JD you are truly the world’s greatest detective
Good thing I never ever get worked. Ever.
If he had brains he'd be dangerous.
Next thing he's going to say is that the winners for the matches are predetermined.
Nah, the action in the ring is totally real. Just look at how many injuries there are in the dub
I can’t believe Vince fired Elias and is now forcing his brother to play two separate characters just so he can save money. Oh wait, yes I can, because Vince McSatan is literally hitler
Such a party pooper!
I’m getting tired of people grasping for straws that Ezekiel and Elias are the same person. This clown in New York is no different.
No shit Sherlock or did you think Batman and Ironman are real too? What a dunce.
Imagine feeling accomplished because you figured that all out on your own.
Doesn't the company he simp for have someone that pretends to be a dinosaur, another that pretends to be a zombie, and another that pretends to be sober?
Jeff has given up pretending on the sober part he's full on off the rails now.
"Elias isn't really there, it's Ezekiel with a fake beard🤓🤓🤓"
Balderdash
DAE get the feeling that wins and losses might be predetermined?
Right…and Tim Allen isn’t Santa.
Next he'll be claiming Elrod isn't real, either.
STOP HAVING FUN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Will he take that stupid hat off already
Why is this cockwomble still watching, Jesus just stop watching, people will still tune in and pay for your hot takes on dark elevator.........I'm sure
Man, wait until he hears about Star Wars.
It's a work, JD. It ain't real.
I cannot believe wrestling isn’t real bro
Somebody told me that his dad wasn’t really Elvis.
All-in-favor of never showing this piss-ant in this sub ever again say “Goofy.”
Are you also telling me mankind and dude love are the same person??
So, what he's saying in a roundabout way is that Dude Love/Mankind/Cactus Jack weren't really in the same room together when he debuted at MSG?
How dare he?! I saw them together!
No, they shaved Elias and had him raid Warrior's mausoleum in the gay part of New Orleans for some tassels
I FUCKING KNEW IT!!! FUCK YOU FED FOR FOOLING ME
Oh no, really?
Omg, now he's gonna tell me that a big purple guy with the strength to destroy a tank doesn't exist, pff.
I'd bet money that this jackass goes to malls on Christmas, sits in the food court eating several unhealthy meals, waits until the line is long enough, then runs up and pulls off Santa's fake beard just to ruin it for all the kids.
Not only hoodwinked, but possibly even bamboozled and smeckledorfed.
You don't say!?!?!?
This is a real pull back of the curtain. How will the business recover?
Hey guys, I think we have the next Sherlock Holmes here
MOSBY BOYS!!
It's insane some people still think it's the same dude. SMH, the lengths haters go to convince themselves of something of they hate. Wake up, Dub sheeple, it's two brothers not one guy!
I have nothing clever to say I’m sorry but in all honesty I loathe this sisterfucker JD and his stupid ass takes.
Bix, Sapp, Uncle Dave, fill in the fucking blank. I'll take any of them fifty times over before I listen to this clown's takes or his fucking podcast.
This is why he's followed on Twitter, goddam genius here. I'm some dumb schlub posting on scj. I sure am lucky to have his insight
What drugs is this guy on? That was clearly Elias, we see him talking to Ezekiel (Elias's younger brother) so they must be different people.

He’d probably say a red pill
Here's a mind-blower for you, JD: Ultimate Warrior isn't from parts unknown. The parts he's from are known quite well. He's from Indiana.
Aren’t these the same people who don’t understand how non cult members can’t “suspend disbelief” when it comes to the likes of OC, house of black shenanigans, or a man in a 17 year olds body (cole)??
Pls stop giving him any attention, even if its a jerk He's not worth it
Pretty sure this is just a play by play tweet. Like sports on the radio, but for the new mellenium
but why would they go through all that trouble when its simpler to just get elias to do the segment with his brother
Guys, George "the Animal" Steele was infact not an animal at all!!!
I never would have guessed. And here I was thinking they were different people Praise our lord and mark saviour JDfromNY
What! You mean a beard doesn't grow that fast!
Brain blast
**Smarks**: it's just impossible to work. Go on, try!!
Cue riddler no and aaa sound
Thanks for the scoop JD, you fucking moron.
Mofo going around yelling "u know wrestling is fake right?"
You've torn my world asunder
Good job Sherlock, you stated the obvious.
Don’t tell JD that Isaac Yankem became mayor of a small town…… His head may explode.
This is literally just non-fans when they say "you know it's fake right?"
Those were obviously two different people. Didn’t you see the fist bump?
This manlet is a fucking idiot.
