10 HUGE WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Predictions You Need To Know
3. Yakamora
The title of this item is regrettably not a misnomer. Well, not one from the keyboard of anybody fit to write on this great website anyway.
No, 'Yakamora' was how former WWE Champion Sycho Sid dismissively described the 'King Of Strong Style' in a recent interview that also saw him take Kevin Owens to task as a current main event star. Sid's rationale was sound enough if one considers the era he entered the business and the success he subsequently found.
Looking chiselled out of granite and p*ssing charisma out of every sweat gland, Sid was a wet dream for a promoter like Vince McMahon, not least after the perpetually mismanaged WCW failed to immediately position him as a top star. He certainly made more sense as a topliner to McMahon then than probably Nakamura or Owens ever will.
And yet, the targets of Sid's vitriol make up one half each of two matches vying for the evening's show-closer. 'Fat' will presumably outrank 'Weird' on the night, if only because 'McMahon' outweighs 'WWE Title' in terms of overall importance to the family business, but Jinder Mahal's place as titleholder and fourth most important wrestler from the quartet sums up just one of the many failings with this programme and his run in general.
But he'll win. WWE haven't gone to India yet, so he will win. And we'll all keep watching anyway, despite wanting so much more for Nakamura. Maybe Sid's not really the psychotic one?
