7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (July 30)

Looks like we can already add Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis to the list of wrestlers who GFW/TNA used better than WWE. It’s a small list, but it exists! Bully Ray is on there somewhere...and maybe Lei'd Tapa?

It’s been quite the dumpy month for the happy couple. On June 18, they debuted at Money in the Bank. Their theme song made it seem like they were destined for greatness. But unlike the shockingly enjoyable staying power of Bobby Roode’s “Glorious”, this seems to have already run its course.

Mike’s story so far is that he beat Sami Zayn. Then he lost to Sami Zayn. Then he lost to Sami and Tye Dillinger...who had just lost to Aiden English, who hadn't won a match in like two years. Does any of this make any sense?!

Had Kanellis not been booked in such a cartoonish role, he could be used as a solid upper-midcard guy. Maria was killing it on the mic in TNA and the duo could certainly offer more to the wrestling world than pants with hearts on them. They may still get to that level eventually, but this is certainly not an encouraging start.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
