My Take on Madcap Moss
So, I started seeing this guy, Madcap Moss, pop up on my screen. He was hanging around with Happy Corbin, telling these jokes. And man, were they bad. Like, really bad. My first thought? This is kinda lame. Just another goofy sidekick character they’d forget about in a few months.
I kept watching though, mostly ’cause Smackdown was on. Week after week, there he was. Suspenders, that loud laugh, telling jokes that made you groan more than chuckle. Thing is, you start to notice stuff when you see it enough. He wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire in the ring, but he wasn’t completely hopeless either. He moved okay, took bumps. It was just… the whole package felt forced.
The whole setup with Corbin was weird too. Corbin laughing his head off at jokes that weren’t funny. It reminded me of this one boss I had years ago, always cracking these terrible puns and everyone had to pretend they were hilarious. You just kind of go along with it, right? That’s what it felt like watching Moss.
- The jokes were terrible.
- The look was… a choice.
- He seemed committed, gotta give him that.
Then the inevitable happened. They split up. Corbin turned on him, gave him a proper beatdown. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how to feel. Part of me thought, “Okay, maybe now he gets serious.” They even did that injury angle where Corbin smashed a trophy on him. Looked nasty.
He came back without the suspenders, trying to be more intense. Dropped the ‘Madcap’ part for a bit, just Riddick Moss again. But here’s the kicker: it felt like they didn’t know what to do next. He had this burst of revenge against Corbin, and then… kinda just floated around. The crowd sort of liked him for a bit, I guess because he wasn’t telling those awful jokes anymore and Corbin was easy to hate.
But did it stick? Not really, from what I saw. He sort of faded back into the midcard shuffle. It’s like they built him up just to knock him down and then forgot the rebuilding part. Saw him later paired with Emma, doing a whole different thing. It’s just the way things go sometimes, characters change, things fizzle out.
End of the day, my whole journey with the Madcap Moss thing went from “this is dumb” to “okay, maybe there’s something here?” back to “eh, whatever.” Just another guy on the show, really. Didn’t change my life, didn’t ruin the show. It was just… there. Watched it happen, saw the whole arc, and then moved on to the next thing. That’s usually how it works watching this stuff.
