John Morrison and The Miz should take note of what Otis and Tucker achieved later in the show. Their vignette showed the former getting ready for his big Valentine's Day date with Mandy Rose, it was funny and it was kept brief enough that it didn't bore. It was quite the opposite, in fact.

This was like something from the Attitude era.

Otis is so good at playing this comedy role, and Tucker also knows his place in these segments. Next time you watch one, pay attention to the way he sometimes dips in and out of frame so that full focus goes onto Otis' facial expressions. That's the kind of self-awareness that can't be taught. 'Tucky' has it.

Heavy Machinery are a great team, and they're killing it with this Mandy Rose stuff. After Otis' training regime and lesson in manners from Tucker this week, it'd be hilarious if Rose was shown just going about her daily life next week. This date cannot be as big a deal to her as it is to a certain Mr. Dozovic.
