Sami Zayn put on possibly the best match of the year with Shinsuke Nakamura on Friday night. He received a tremendous ovation from the crowd afterwards, and was crazy over throughout. Now imagine you€™ve never watched NXT, you don€™t own the WWE Network, and the man showed up on Raw a few weeks ago. You would have no idea who Sami Zayn is. The company has completely failed on filling us in on the backstory of this man since he showed up, and he has a match at WrestleMania!

Sami re-appeared on Raw on the March 7th episode, and during that ENTIRE TIME has not cut a single promo telling us who he is or what he wants to accomplish. He just shows up every week in tag matches. Over the course of 15 hours, WWE couldn€™t give him one minute on one of their main shows to say €œHey, I€™m Sami. I like Ska music, and I wear this hipster hat. Oh, and I don€™t like Kevin Owens. K. Thanks. Bye.€ That would have at least been something!

The announcers just pretend we know who he is, because he showed up on Raw one single time10 months ago and lost to Cena. Not good enough creative. Try harder!

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
