7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (March 19)

2. Foley’s Choice

Week after week Triple H keeps telling us how much Seth Rollins sucks, and how’s he’s a loser and how he has disappointed everyone in the past and how he smells and should probably quit. The thing is, though, they way WWE books him, well...he kind of has a point.

The main hook of Raw revolved around who Mick Foley was going to fire. Knowing the Foley character, it seemed the obvious answer was going to be that he would can himself. If nothing else, Curtis Axel owes him a gift basket for not choosing him. But the strange thing was why anyone thought it was necessary for this to take place so close to WrestleMania. There’s only two shows left to hype the event of the year, and they went with Foley vs. Stephanie McMahon and Hunter in a handicap Authority Shouting match. Of course, Foley did the job here, because the married couple never loses in anything like that. Even Mr. Socko was no equal to a fist in the crotch.

The show ended with Hunter and Mick going through events from 17 years ago. There were other times to do this. Still, it ended up going pretty well. Seth Rollins was interesting for the first time in months. Watching him sacrifice his well-being to beat up his boss was more entertaining than hearing him speculate about the severity of his knee injury in a nice, corporate-like video.

However, Seth getting demeaned and destroyed once again felt demoralizing. You have to keep your heels hot, but Hunter seems to have one big sell in him a year, which is when he loses his big Mania match. Otherwise he's the coolest, smartest, toughest guy in the room.

It kind of felt like when Rob Van Dam jumped to TNA, defeated Sting in 10 seconds, and everyone absolutely loved it. But then Stinger picked up a bat and horribly beat him for five minutes. Nobody really liked that part.

Even if Rollins wins (if he can make it), he's been effectively verbally and physically buried for so long he'll still be worse off than before this feud started.
