If you're the kind of wrestling fan who gleans a lot of joy from seeing wrestlers make a mockery of themselves during promos, then check out Roman Reigns' timeless "sufferin' succotash, son" line aimed at Seth Rollins on the 9 January 2015 edition of SmackDown.

That one moment would haunt Reigns for years.

After watching that, you might want more. The good (bad?) news is that Roman's misery has a little brother, and it happened on the 7 December 2015 episode of Raw. There, he climbed a ladder and spoke of overcoming endless hurdles to reach the top of the WWE mountain. Then, he ruined everything by talking about Sheamus' balls.

Reigns told the Irishman that he only had little "tater tots" and therefore couldn't beat him at TLC. This horrendous piece of scripting isn't remembered as much as his prior Sylvester The Cat imitation, and that's perhaps a blessing for Roman.
