Jesus wept, what a tossed-off, why-not wreck of a segment Rey Mysterio Vs. Sami Zayn was. A dream match banger in literally any other promotion that could afford their services, on RAW Reunion, this was a nothing match that served only as a prelude for the formation of the strangest faction of all time.

Peeved at Sami’s disrespect towards the past, Rob Van Dam, the Hurricane, Kurt Angle and Sgt. Slaughter distracted him on the ramp, allowing Rey to put away an amazing upper card WWE heel with the finish of a part-time vet currently working for Impact lol.

What does Slaughter have in common with Van Dam?!

He was a strict disciplinarian in 1997. Rob Van Dam, recently divorced, is currently found smoking bones with several women in hot tubs.
