WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Jan 25)

1. Gentle Hunter

triple h kid kayfabe For many, this is the most touching moment of the week. But I€™m possibly a horrible person, so this is the worst! During the most recent Raw, a young child was chanting Hunter€™s name, so he turned around and told him to stop messing with him. Good for him! Unfortunately, this caused the kid to cry. This was enough for Hunter to break character and comfort the child. Lou Thesz, Mr. Wrestling 1 and Harley Race are rolling in their graves! Wait. Race is still alive? Well I€™ll be... Now I€™m not saying that HHH should have given that kid a Pedigree (though I€™m not saying he shouldn€™t have either), but something about the top heel in the company telling a child it's all make believe doesn't sit right with me. I mean, wrestling is still kind of like a play. Wrestlers are actors performing a role, and should be in that role until the audience is gone. Whoever is playing King Hamlet wouldn€™t stop to tell a kid that he€™s not actually dead! Back in my day, Dr. D would have slapped me in the face if I was verbally harassing him! And I would have deserved it too! Well, times have changed, and maybe this is just something I€™ll have to learn to deal with. It€™s probably good that we€™re years past the point of wrestlers and audience members attacking each other, but I still can€™t help long for the days of wrestlers always pretending it€™s real while the camera is rolling. But hey, at least it allowed Hunter to go on Good Morning America for two minutes to re-tell the story. And stroking his ego is always what's best for business. Time to kick out. Agree? Disagree? What was your worst wrestling moment of the week? Sound off below and thanks for reading!

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
