WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Jan 15)

7. Swann Dives Too Low

Man, I want to like Rich Swann. I really do! And I did like him a bit before he started cutting promos on TV. Since then, he awkwardly has to force in the chorus to his theme song every time he talks “You. Can’t. Handle. This.”, (it’s a good thing that this doesn't apply to all wrestlers, otherwise Miz would always be like “I didn’t come to fight. I came to PLAY” and HBK would have to try and work in “And that’s...because I’m a SEXY BOY!”), and he kind of comes off as a general goofball. Add in Michael Cole’s trademark “He sure likes to have fun, doesn’t he?” and Swann doesn’t seem to be connecting in the way he should.

This week on 205 Live, he was just kind of a straight up dick. Vince McMahon is obsessed with Neville’s looks in a way that no one else is. This seems to be the reason why the wrestler keeps bringing up how people think he’s goofy looking. People meaning Vince. Swann joined in on this by sinking to his bosses’ level by telling Neville that he “look like a gargoyle” and that he has ears like Dumbo.

Not only are those some pretty terrible insults, but attacking someone for their looks is a mean thing to do for a babyface. Say Neville has become a jerk. Or that he’s dishonorable. Or maybe say his theme song isn’t as fun as yours. But lay off comparing someone to a Disney character. Can you handle that at least?
