WWE.com Papa Shango didn’t quite get over as much as WWF management had hoped for, so a couple of years later, Charles Wright was given a new gimmick: The Supreme Fighting Machine. He was a UFC type fighter, who quickly joined the very un-UFC like Million Dollar Corporation whose main goal in life was to steal The Undertaker’s urn.Still, the gimmick could have been okay, except for the fact that Kama was just plain bad in the ring. Pushing him as a guy who was a master of martial arts was ridiculous, because he never used any of the moves in his matches. He was just a slow, plodding brawler, not a submission master. The gimmick lasted only a short time, before Kama dropped 'The Supreme Fighting Machine' moniker, likely out of realizing he was supremely boring in the ring.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
