I thought the Irish had potatoes, looks like youre just smuggling some tater tots. -Roman Reigns on Raw
You know, if Roman had any tater tots, he would have said no to being asked to deliver that line. Roman is just never going to be cool as a singles wrestler. The Shield hid his weaknesses pretty well, you know, the whole not being able to cut a promo longer than 15 seconds thing. When he tries to be funny, its embarrassingly bad, but he still has this look on his face that he said something really clever, and you should be laughing son. And tater tots. He went back to the line again, and again, and again. Over and over "Hey Sheamus, son, you're a big dummy with tater tots for testicles!" Something like that. The end of Mondays Raw was painful to watch. It was a mid-card heel and a top face that very few are buying in the role cutting a never ending promo against each other. Half of Reigns dialogue was either Son or tater tots. This isnt Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass. This is something youd find at a childrens playground, which seems to be the only demographic that finds him funny. Time to kick out.
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.
