7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Aug 18)
5. How Not To Get Employed
On Monday's RAW, WWE booked the umpteenth pull-apart angle involving Brock Lesnar - the second in as many months. It's as if it's written into Lesnar's contract, along with shockingly few dates and vast sums of cash.
Perhaps one of the security guards sensed that fans were uninspired by the retread. The so-called 'Prince of Aesthetics', an Indy chancer drafted in to take part in the melee, elected to go into business for himself. This is peak stupidity. The angle involved Brock f*cking Lesnar. It's probably not a good idea to divert attention away from him - in terms of your own health, as well as career prospects.
Braun Strowman fought off the security guards holding him back. The majority took their lumps and performed standard flat back bumps. Not so The Prince: he vaulted himself over the ropes in a ludicrous bump. It condemned what was meant to be an ultra-believable angle into phoney comedy territory. Lesnar and Strowman didn't go viral; he did. What a moron. You can only presume he did this to grab the attention of officials - when he was hired for the express purpose of blending into the background.
It was the wrestling equivalent of that time Phoebe Buffet was an extra on Days Of Our Lives. Only funny.
