Not the beard! Not the beard! It’s Christmas time and that means one thing in WWE: Santa Claus is going to get beaten up in one way or another. This is something that has happened for years in WWE and it’s not going to be shocking when it happens again. All kinds of wrestlers have done this over the years and I think you know where this is going to go.
There’s no easy way around this. Take a look at various times Santa Claus has taken a beating:
On its Instagram page, WWE has posted a new video looking at the Top Five instances of Santa Claus Getting Beaten Up. These include instances ranging from a superstar beating him up for no apparent reason, a sanctioned match, and near vehicular homicide. The list ranges back over twenty years and doesn’t even include every time that Santa Claus has appeared in WWE.
Opinion: Only WWE and that might be literal in this case. For some reason they find great job in tormenting Santa Claus, all the way down to having an evil version named Xanta Claus from the South Pole who stole Christmas presents from children and attacked them with snowballs. I can’t say I’m surprised though, and I’m not sure what that says about being a wrestling fan.
