#5 Elias keeps getting interrupted
There's nothing better than watching some pompous jerk trash talk the crowd for several minutes, rave about how great of a musician he is, and then get interrupted by another WWE Superstar. The shocked facial expressions that Elias makes every time he gets interrupted make everything worthwhile.
If nothing else, it's a fun break from the regular action inside the ring that can be used as a setup for a match. It also allows whoever interrupts Elias to instantly get the crowd behind them. Suddenly, this goes from being a running gag ,to a tool used to help establish new Superstars.
Elias might not be the best Superstar on the WWE roster, and he might not have the greatest voice, but his cocky attitude and angry reaction to being interrupted will live on in the history books forever. It's just that funny to watch.
