The game followed a familiar script: a comedian challenges a celebrity to a wrestling match, and the CEO of a wrestling promotion expresses interest. This one felt recognizable early, with Kevin Nealon’s challenge and Tony Khan’s response.
DeVito’s character, the “Trash Man,” would bring a trashcan to the ring, throw trash around, and eat garbage before bashing his opponent with the can. Nealon’s tweet about owning the outfits for the “Hans and Franz” skit on “Saturday Night Live” hinted at the comedic tone of the match.
AEW has used celebrities in the past, but this match would be unique in its comedic approach. The result wasn’t surprising by the end, given the context.
This one will be a spectacle, with trash cans and comedy outfits galore. The question is, how will the “Trash Man” fare in the ring?
Original observation: When celebrities step into the wrestling ring, the outcome is always a foregone conclusion – entertainment wins, and the crowd leaves happy.
