Sure. I imagine you trapping prostitutes in holes you've dug into your basement lowering lotion to them via a pulley-system. What a baseless observation.

You're a bit smarter than adamle though. Sure, you can think of them as heelish. It did start as a character, but I sincerely do believe that the current product is absolute horse-shit, and I don't mind calling out stuff I find to be dross as a fan now. If people enjoy it, whatever. I stayed out of the Jinder Mahal Appreciation Thread until I saw it was basically all ironic stuff anyway. It provided me a good chance to rant about my disdain for the Mahal push.

For what it's worth, I think you're a great poster. I think we're just debating the semantics of "big problem." I think you've taken it to be in the tone of "BIG problem," whereas I simply meant it as a dry "big problem."
