Look at Tucker's sad face there. He knows.

He knows he's doomed.

"Hello catering my old friend..."

He knows that he was perceived by Vince McMahon as the guy that stood next to Otis for a while there. He knows that Otis, the comical oaf, was always going to be the guy that Vince was bound to take very mild delight in. He went out there in October, turned on his pal after they'd done jack sh*t as a team, and explained his actions. He carried the team, Otis was nothing without him, yadda yadda yadda, career's f*cked.

But perhaps it isn't!

Tucker is a very good athlete with a telegenic face. He is also not small, the importance of which can never be overstated. They could always repackage him as the All-American amateur wrestler that he legitimately is. They could always...exploit the idea that he is...good...very good...at wrestling.

Vince could make a quick call to USA, and ask them if they've forgotten about the 24/7 Title they imposed on WWE. And then, when a cigarette-smoking exec says with an exhale "I haven't thought about that piece of sh*t in years," Tucker could batter those jabronis under a new M.O. of taking this sh*t halfway seriously as a sporting emulation.
