The story about Eugene shooting his crush may be his own cover story.

"But to go from that to “I’m going to risk my life on the assumption that you’re a good bloke at heart” is a bit much."

I'm sure whatever you like is as equally terrible or worse :/

Just to re-establish the framing of this discussion, you're talking about mouth breathing morons in a thread regarding WWE pro-wrestling.
Let's not pretend we're part of some grander art-form than schlocky Summer blockbuster films here.

So very underrated.

The difference is that the really embarrassing stuff that you're thinking of, along the lines of Shockmaster and whatnot, wasn't stuff done on purpose at all. Someone actually thought a silver spraypainted Stormtrooper helmet would be badass.
Final Deletion however was done by people who were clearly in on it from the

Eh. The problem was that it was presented as a serious segment instead of something that knows it's silly, and I'm just like… who's holding the camera then? And why did they bother adding all of these grindhouse-esque effects in post?

It really wasn't a match, per se. The whole idea of the thing was to be one giant spot, basically what a B-movie is to cinema, i.e. so bad it's good. Anything that involves the quote "It's a dilapidated boat!" is genius as far as I'm concerned.

The Final Deletion was so janky and batshit ridiculous. Aka, great.
