7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (June 11)

1. You Shouldn't Teach That

In all of Raw, there are basically five different tag teams. That greatly limits the potential number of combinations you can watch (as proven by the sheer insane amount of times we’ve seen Gallows and Anderson vs. Enzo and Cass). On Raw, they defied math, and told us that two of those teams are completely irrelevant and not worth our time.

First up was Rhyno and Heath Slater, who not long ago were a pretty entertaining pairing. A move to Raw could have given them something fun to do. Could have. Slater still has kids to feed after all. They were instead jobbed out to Cesaro and Sheamus in short order. Next up for slaughter were the recent tag champs in Gallows and Anderson.

Actually, before we get to them, there’s Big Show. It’s a personal thing, but one of my least favorite...things(?)...in wrestling is smiling Big Show. There’s just nothing about it that feels genuine. He’s so over-the-top in his happiness that he feels like he’s trying to out-do Rocky Maivia from his debut. You can picture Vince McMahon telling him right before he goes out, “now remember, SMILE BIG! The audience will love it! SMILE DAMMIT! He's gonna SMILE!"

Enzo did some of his worst mic work on the main roster (his previous worst promo was probably the last one he cut before that ) and Show faked being annoyed until...PSYCH! Big happy giant actually loved it. Oh man, that was a close one! He then did an embarrassing Big Cass impression.

People gave Steve Austin a lot of crap for refusing to show up to Raw to job to Brock Lesnar years ago. It would have been kind of awesome if Show refused to show up to Raw for this and instead valued his pride over bad comedy. No one would have blamed him for sitting this one out.

Time to kick out.

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
