WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (August 3)

3. Goodbye Ricardo

Ricardo Rodriguiez was never going to be WWE Champion (though at this point, just to alleviate some boredom I€™d take him over John Cena). However, there was a time in WWE when he was pretty entertaining, and that€™s when he was by the side of Alberto Del Rio. The two just worked so well with each other that it€™s a shame that they were ever split up. This left Alberto without a fleet of cars, his personal ring announcer and access to a tanning booth it appears. This master plan behind the split was so Ricardo could join sides with Rob Van Dam. That didn€™t work out so well, and RVD took some time off to go do whatever it is he likes to do in his free time. Most likely something involving marijuana. Well, Ricardo was sent on over to the hazardous working condition known as the Spanish announce table, and was also sent down to NXT to work as El Local. Due to his physique, it was highly unlikely that Vince would ever make Ricardo a permanent fixture as a wrestler on the main roster. Still, he wasn€™t used to the best of his abilities and that failure rests on the shoulders of the creative team. Hopefully he can land on his feet somewhere and find a better gig than personal ring announcer. Those jobs are hard to land these days.

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
