10 Wild Creative Pitches Wrestlers Made To Get Into WWE
8. Tucker Wanted To Get On The Main Roster And Cook
No, not perform in peak mode; to literally cook.
Heavy Machinery were a fun throwback powerhouse act elevated by an absurd comedy element. In a great take, WhatCulture Wrestling's own Andy Murray described Otis as Tucker's pet, and that sums up their dynamic perfectly. Otis was a strange, animalistic man, loyal, nice but very weird and unable to form coherent segments, and his offbeat brand of charisma connected with people.
The tag team were broken up, of course, because that's what Vince did.
Playing another round of "What bullsh*t do I think Vince will like?", Tucker wanted Heavy Machinery to cook barbecue backstage when they weren't working a match on the show. He didn't flesh the idea out much, only noting that "I was trying so hard [at] having aprons made up for us" and "You're not going to tell me we wouldn't get good stuff".
Since this would have inevitably involved skits with Riddle stealing the meat because he had "the munchies" and R-Truth putting on a chef's hat to avoid detection as 24/7 champion, yes, Tucker can be told that he wouldn't get good stuff.
