Nattie, I’m here for a decision. And if you don’t shut up, I’m going to make you LOOK like Ellsworth! - Charlotte
Charlotte, you need to be quiet, otherwise, you’re going to start looking like Ellsworth. - Tamina

TELL ME you didn’t just say that...because somebody else just did.

Next to James Ellsworth (the man whose physical appearance was insulted by at least three different characters on SmackDown this past week), perhaps Tamina’s continued employment in WWE is the most confusing one at the moment.

WHAT purpose does she really serve? She’s not much of a wrestler, she takes weird bumps, she has two offensive moves, she can’t seem to fall through the ropes correctly, her facial expressions are too cartoonish, her theme song is silly, and her insults are recycled...from four seconds earlier. Besides that, she's fine.

On SmackDown, the show had the obligatory segment with every woman politely saying their lines one at a time in the middle of the ring. Charlotte said her piece and finished off with that quote above and then Tamina delivered the exact same response to her. Everyone was like "...what?" Or they should have been. That was one of the moments where overly scripting a show sucks because if any of those women were actually in the moment they would have said “um...she uh...she just said that.” Or just torn into her in a more entertaining fashion.

It would be fascinating to see what the actual script was for that segment. What was she actually scripted to say? With the case of Enzo and Big Cass now solved, that may be the most interesting mystery in WWE. Put Angle on the case.

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
