7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (May 1)

6. Not Much Of A Thriller

Dolph Ziggler likes to think of himself as "the killer funny one." If that's true, then why is his humor so terrible?

For fans who have seen Shinsuke Nakamura wrestle, they know he has a Michael Jackson-type thing going on. So when Ziggler likened him to the late singer he could have stopped with his first reference. But he kept going and going and....insinuated that MJ faked his death, became Japanese, learned a bunch of knee strikes and joined WWE? Well, we got his connection in about two seconds and he dragged it out for about two minutes. At least it felt that long.

This "introduction" of sorts to Nakamura has only raised concerns that Vince McMahon isn't going to know what to do with him. It's great to see Nakamura actually get some hype upon his arrival, but that first real segment was rough. Some wrestlers don't need to go out there and be in long skits. It's just not their thing. Brock Lesnar lets Paul Heyman do all the talking. That works. Undertaker was 90% purple lighting and lightening effects. They need to find something for Nakamura to do other than stand there for 10 minutes while his opponent tears him down.

This isn't fatal by any means for him, but it was far from a good start.
