3. Sh*theel Sami

Sami Zayn is a sh*theel.

That's not to say he's a sh*t heel, but that he fits the Urban Dictionary's description of the word to a tee: "someone who's low; mean; dishonest. He's a real sh*theel; as in he's so low that he's like the heel of a shoe dragging in dog sh*t."

What an absolute delight this glorious w*nker this guy was in last night's segment with The Miz and Shinsuke Nakamura. He interrupted "The King of Soft Style's" chest-beating rant about going after Nak and the Intercontinental Championship to put his new charge over as "a champion and an artist," winding him up before springing the trap, with Shinsuke attacking Miz from behind as the babyface attempted to do the same to Zayn.

Sami was at his annoying best as the segment continued. He hooted, hollered, and literally jumped for joy as Nakamura put the pain on Miz, throwing him into the barricade and LED boards. He was totally insufferable, and helped cap the segment by holding Miz's corpse up for the Kinshasa.

Concerns surrounding Zayn's demotion from wrestler to manager remain, but it's hard to be too upset when he's as entertaining as this.
