Kurt Angle has achieved so much in his career: Olympic Gold medal winner, WWE champion, meme. But all of those things pale in comparison to being a presenter at the Spike TV Scream Awards.
The what?
For a couple of years in the 2000’s and 2010’s, Spike TV had themselves a little award show for horror, fantasy, and comics. And since TNA was on Spike TV, what better way to bring them together than with Kurt awkwardly reading some canned lines before presenting an award. It’s true! It’s true!
From Abruzzo, Italy to your home phone, it’s the Bruno Sammartino hotline! It’s totally different from the Wrestling Trivia hotline because that call might have been, y’know, fun. Instead, we get Bruno telling his life story (which was legitimately interesting) and, I don’t know, maybe talking about Larry Zbyszko turning on him.
Which wrestlers would you spend $1.00 per minute to hear their life story? New Jack would have absolutely made a killing with his own hotline.
Life on the road can be tough for a professional wrestler, especially when you’re Dominik Mysterio. After serving hard time and being everyone’s punching bag, Dom just wants to kick back and eat some chicken tendies. Unfortunately for him, fellow WWE star Zelina Vega has other plans. We even get a little Finn Balor in the background with some helpful advice.
Do you know the real funny thing about this prank? It’s not Zelina’s kid voice or Dom struggling to have a conversation. It’s that someone actually answered their phone.
Our friend Rebel (not Reba!) is going through some health issues right now. We’re sending all the best wishes to our favorite member of The Menagerie for a quick and full recovery. To send more good vibes her way, check out her win over Su Yung‘s Undead Maid of Honor. Is there a future induction somewhere in there? You tell me, but in the meantime, let’s bask in this televised win.
Tiffany Stratton got another chance to throw out the first pitch at a New York Mets game after the first time went…well, you know.
Unfortunately, Tiffy Time would have to wait as Nia Jax came out and stole the ball. Even the combined powers of Mr. and Mrs. Met were no match for the former Queen of the Ring.
