I may be in the minority here, but I've never found 'Being the Elite' funny. Before I ever joined Sportskeeda Wrestling, I was a professional comedy writer, and considering that I used to get paid to make jokes, one would assume that I know a thing or two about the genre.
This is especially true for the Librarian gimmick that I do not get at all. I think that it's the worst kind of comedy, even worse than what Vince McMahon used to do with WWF in the early 90s, because, at least then, the characters seemed like fighters.
