WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Feb 5)

2. Enzo Loves Chicken. New Day Loves VUDU

Whoever thought up these commercials should go cluck themselves. Every week it seems that Enzo and Cass and New Day become a little less cool. Actually they are all negative cool right now. Putting them in painfully cheesy ads isn’t going to turn that perception around.

At the Royal Rumble, instead of letting fans enjoy all that rumbling of the royal sort, they broke up the action with commercials, kind of like the ones we see on TV. WWE thinks if they cleverly disguise these ads with beloved characters then perhaps we won’t mind as much. Except for the fact that not only are we annoyed that we have to watch ads during something we paid for, but the wrestlers look lame for taking part in something so bad. To make things worse, a regular commercial is 30 seconds. Enzo’s was 90, which mathematically speaking, is three times as terrible.

I mean, I’m fine with Enzo needing some time to be alone to have sex with some chicken...or was he going to eat that thing? He said he needed some privacy, so I’m not sure what they were going for there. Either way, this type of silliness feels closer to what would have aired on Saturday Night’s Main Event in 1990 than what should pass for wrestling entertainment in 2017.

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
