Episode 4 of Camp WWE is titled “Vince Is Just Not That Into You”. The official synopsis is as follows:

Triple H takes Mr. McMahon out on a date to win his approval while John Cena and Mark Henry team up to welcome an unexpected addition to Camp WWE.

WWE Network News can now exclusively share the first 2 minutes of the fourth episode, set to become available after Extreme Rules tomorrow, exclusively on-demand.

Some may have already watched the above video and made up their minds. Many others will still be on the fence. So, how is episode 4 of the adult-focused cartoon series? It feels like a step forward with a tighter story, but didn’t personally blow me away.

Warning: The following review WILL contain spoilers, but will avoid anything too major!

The main story involves Triple H trying to impress Mr McMahon in order to earn a date with Stephanie. In the process, Trips becomes smitten with his boss, not entirely sure which McMahon he’s truly interested in. This “A” story isn’t exactly riotous, but it benefits from avoiding too much low brow humour or swearing for the sake of it, while providing some smiles. Keeping everyone else down to backstage cameos really seems to help this episode feel more coherent than previous efforts.

The secondary story focuses on Mark Henry eating an entire chocolate cake (as seen above) and then blaming John Cena for his bloating predicament. Good ol’ John Beauregard Cena feels responsible and offers to be the “daddy” to Henry’s developing “food baby”. Tensions quickly develop and I’m not just referring to Mark Henry’s gut.

Yes, this idea is immature, but the juxtapostion of such building melodrama over what is literally a constipated turd does provide some absurd humour. It won’t topple South Park anytime soon, but everything stays on point.

My overall thoughts are that this episode won’t turn haters into fans, but these 22 minutes could be the beginning of a more streamlined formula that doesn’t rely on the overuse of swear words. Personally, I’ve always felt that adult-themed cartoons often fall into the trap of using sophmore humour, but at least this is a solid step in the right direction.

Remember: episode 4 of Camp WWE will be available exclusively on-demand after Extreme Rules tomorrow night!
