If that was the outcome, I'd probably have not given it a second thought. But at the same time, the terrified expression he had upon seeing them was enough to put them over as scary. The scream in that event was unnecessary.
And it's not just on him. He, the announcers, AND creative should understand that his role is to get killed and make the guy(s) doing the killing look good.
And before anyone makes reference to Horrowitz patting trademark patting himself on the back, that's different. If he was doing something stupid to set himself up to get hoisted by his own petard, that is performing the role of making the guy doing the killing look good.
Now, if Harper and Rowan were given the time to be perplexed by it, and try to get him to scream like that again, only to be denied because he's unconscious, THAT would have been interesting and entertaining. And it would make them look sadistic.
Hell, Colin Delaney still takes a good ass beating. That's the perfect role for him.
