10 Wrestling Feuds With Unexpectedly Ridiculous Stories
6. Drew McIntyre Targets Erick Rowan's Spider
It's often forgot that the last few flickers of normality before the world changed forever in 2020 brought with them one of the oddest wrestling revelations of modern times.
With Erick Rowan spending the latter stages of 2019 walking around with a rather large cage in his possession, trying to figure out what in the holy hell this towering one-time Bludgeon Brother was affectionately conversing with inside of the sacked container actually became a surprisingly fun addition to the weekly slog that was the red show.
The hilariously bizarre sight of a jobber being covered in red liquid courtesy of the being within only added to the surreal intrigue. And then, in an equally odd throwaway backstage skit on March 2, 2020 Rowan suddenly revealed the giant furry (and not at all mechanical) spider within to the "respectful" No Way Jose and his conga-line pals.
And Byron Saxton's cries of "I think it's alive!" would've likely sat as the undisputed highlight of this entire weird character detour, were it not for babyface Drew McIntyre taking a set of steel steps to the creature and its cage a week later to the sound of euphoric cheers.
Nothing puts smiles on faces quite the crushing of a robo-arachnid, am I right?
