5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Feb 15)

1. "I'm Sorry; I Love You"

EC3 Confused At What Is Going On

Not the famous catchphrase most had in mind.

It was inevitable; at some point, WWE was going to do something to take the shine off Becky Lynch and her defiant, enemy of the machine gimmick. It took some doing, but on Monday's RAW, WWE took those Stone Cold Steve Austin comparisons, and they comprehensively undermined them - because Becky 3:16 says "I'm really sorry, can I have that WrestleMania main event I earned please?" Becky Lynch opened up a can of "Please sir".

Forced to apologise for physically assaulting Stephanie McMahon and Triple H last week, Becky appeared less like The Man and more like every other impotent d*ckhead that the wretched Authority faction has made an a**hole out of for five full years now. And she actually did, after mooching - Pooching - around backstage, as she sought the advice of her colleagues, just like that time Austin bled his heart to 8-Ball over whether or not to abandon his principles.

Becky must appear on every segment now. And if this is reading like a backlash, it's nothing of the sort. As ever, this is a Vince problem. An anti-hero doesn't play the rules. This is very basic storytelling. It's like writing a horror film and having the monster give the teenage girl a cuddle, and unless that monster is Jerry Lawler, it really isn't viable. We'd say give this a week...but Dean Ambrose was a heel last week.

The creative of this company is f*cked, and it is hilarious.
