Col. Sanders Defeats Giant Chicken After WWE SmackDown

Don't mess with The Colonel.

We've seen a host of people play legendary babyface Colonel Sanders on TV lately: Norm MacDonald, Jim Gaffigan and George Hamilton to new a few. Now, we can add an even more surprising name to that list in Dolph Ziggler.

After SmackDown last night, Ziggler, dressed as Sanders in a white tank top, came down to the ring to battle Intercontinental Champion The Miz. For some inexplicable reason the Hollywood A-lister was dressed as a chicken. A fight broke out, and as you can imagine, Sanders went over on the chicken.

KFC is one of the sponsors of SummerSlam, so this certainly was an interesting way to go about promoting their restaurants. I'm not sure if this segment was just for fun, or if it will be a part of a future commercial.

Either way, it's nice to see the two spread their wings, and try something new. Even more encouraging is that Sanders went over clean without any fowl play. Miz should learn not to egg Ziggler on in the future.

Depending on your view of dead men fighting giant chicken men, this was either finger lickin' good, or finger lickin' awful!

No word yet on when the rematch will be.

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
