You have to love when wrestlers say what everyone watching Raw is thinking. It’s almost like breaking the fourth wall, and is a healthy dose of self-awareness.

Monday, Dean Ambrose gave us just that while on commentary during the Intercontinental Championship match. He observed that the Miztourage was a horrible name. Then he quickly observed that it was “almost as bad as Great Balls of Fire,” the name of the upcoming PPV. He asked Michael Cole who came up with that name, then proceeded to mock it by using it to describe a clothesline.

Given that such an outdated reference to a 1950s song probably came from Vince McMahon, we can assume that Ambrose is getting fired pretty soon, right?
