WWE Smackdown Tuesday night parodies Agent Cooper’s Black Lodge dream sequence from the first season of Twin Peaks.
While David Lynch’s Twin Peaks revival, Twin Peaks: The Return, is currently airing on Showtime, the WWE parody is clearly inspired more by the classic series, most specifically a certain iconic sequence from the first season.
True, WWE could have instead parodied something from Twin Peaks: The Return.
The WWE sequence takes the form of a dream, in the tradition of Agent Dale Cooper’s famous dream sequence, in the first season’s third episode, which was the show’s introduction of The Black Lodge.
