10 Wrestling Promo Lines That Were WAY Too Personal

10. Sammy Guevara Says The Cheapest Thing

Sammy Guevara on his recent vlog claimed that he is "exhausted" by the drama at which he is often the centre. The irony was lost on him, perhaps because he's usually one to take a blunt force approach.

Sammy is fond of the word "sh*t". He said "You haven't done sh*t here" to virtually all of his opponents throughout his first TNT title run, which, again, is somewhat ironic given his middling form in 2022 and new/old role as Chris Jericho's irritant of a protege. He also used the word "f*ck" as in "f*ck off" during a recent Twitter spat with Andrade el Idolo.

He went back to an old favourite when trying to build his All Out match with Edie Kingston, which was subsequently scrapped. In a Rampage promo that never made air, he referred to Eddie as a "fat piece of sh*t," which wasn't cleared and incensed Kingston to such an extent that he tried to punch Guevara backstage. He was quietly suspended for his conduct.

Eddie reasoned that Guevara belittled the gravity of the match, and beyond that, even in a cosmetic industry like wrestling, body-shaming is so tired. Jericho built his series around Eddie being great, but with a patronising undertone. This mobilised the crowd into getting behind the babyface and playing their part in his "winning the big one". Jericho's storytelling put Kingston over and helped strengthen his bond with the audience.

Guevara, an incredible talent - which goes under-mentioned these days - has something to learn from the old master yet.
