7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (June 11)
2. Pants + Hammer + Balls = Pay-Per-View Match
“He pulled my pants down. It starts there. He pulled down a midget’s pants on national television. Bleep that out if you want. I had to to what I had to do and that was beat the hell out of him with a hammer.” - Swoggle on Impact.
What in the…Vince Russo? Is that you? That is your written dialogue, right?
For those not watching Impact (which represents roughly 90% of the people who watch WWE) the latest chapter in Swoggle vs. Rockstar Spud is that Swoggle had to go home to explain to his kid why he was bleeding from the forehead the previous week. However, in his promo, he didn’t seem overly bothered with fact that he was hit square in the balls with a hammer. That seems like something you'd be a little miffed about.
If you’re going to smash someone's testicles on TV with a hammer (which is not something a wrestler promoter should book), then go all in on it! Don't pretend smashed balls didn't happen.
Add this feud onto the Borash and Mathews one and two of the (likely) Slammiversary feuds are comedy based. Considering Impact pay-per-views cost a few times more than the WWE Network does for an entire month, they shouldn't be promoting so much nonsense.
Even though the company has made positive steps the past few months, they simply can't stop themselves from making obvious mistakes every single week. Balls.
