7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (May 7)

2. It's Okay To Cry

Yes, I'm with everyone else, Chris Jericho just wrapped up a fantastic run in WWE, and blew away anything he'd done in years and all that, but...man, the way he went out made him kind of look like a d**k.

Aiden English was upset that he lost another match. Perhaps he's frustrated that unlike Jinder Mahal, he's not rewarded with a shot at the No. 1 contendership for losing every single time. Jericho then saw him crying in the hallway. Y2J initially did a nice thing and cheered him up for a bit, but then he made fun of him for actually caring about his career and being upset over losing and put him on The List. He bullied a man with tears in his eyes while he was already down. Where's the joke?

I don't want to appear overly-sensitive myself, considering I just listed Swoggle and Spud in the previous slide, but WWE should actively be going out of their way to not have their good guy characters pick on emotional people right now. It's one of those instances where it feels like they're sending a message to somebody because it had absolutely nothing to to do with anything. English and Jericho aren't about to start a feud. Hell, Dave Meltzer speculated that this was a direct reference to Mauro Ranallo.

The company should feel incredibly lucky that the "fire Bradshaw!" chants didn't catch on (fans are too busy now with "Thank you Strowman!). They really don't need to be bringing up anything that looks bully-related at the moment.

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
