It's win-win. Compared to Ford's physique, Steen looks like Cody Rhodes.

Wow, at first I wondered why he was still using his WWE Twitter account and only after a quick search did I realise he was still employed

There seems to be a running joke where people mistake Zeke with every other black wrestler, even smaller dudes like Kofi and R-Truth.

I like that Booker still plays up the five time (five time, five time, five time, five time) thing when he's actually a six time champion.

Last thing I've heard from him was that he was at the Wrestlemania Axxess, but I think he's a house show guy if my memeory recalls.

Zeke tore a quad and a bicep I can't remember which order but it was in closer succession.

If I was Meltzer I would point out both are steroid injuries here.

Yeah, like all the other partners/bodyguards that Kidd's had.

He can be the next David Hart Smith-- no, wait, that didn't really work...

He can be the next Jackson Andrews-- no, wait...

The next Justin Gabriel?

Still beats doing gently caress all with either one of them.

Zeke was actually decent in his bodyguard role during the whole THE Brian Kendrick angle. Big E's enforcer role for Dolph went over pretty well too, as did Kozlov being an enforcer for Regal. I wish they'd do more manager/enforcer type stuff to get people over or at least get them TV exposure. There are a lot of people who would benefit from that even if they're not in the ring.

Yeah, someone used the example the other day of Deacon Batista - a good instance of an "enforcer" type getting exposure and going places.

Doing the enforcer thing works if you have a long term vision for the guy. Throwing some big guy into the role and hoping it sticks is another thing and generally what happens.

That role would have been the death of Batista's career if he didn't end up replacing Jindrak in Evolution at the last minute. As for Zeke, this is the twitter thread, he is the twitter champion, don't worry about him.

It was a poo poo gimmick, no argument there, but it put him on TV.

Also, Zeke better watch his back, because BIG GUY and BIG E are both gunning for his Tweetcrown.

I'll always love Jackson Andrews' burial for how my brother saw me watching Mark Henry vs. Tyson Kidd and acted all smug about it. "You still watch this stuff? Obviously that smaller guy is going to win because of his bodyguard getting involved." Then Mark Henry won decisively and crushed Andrews. My brother didn't understand that storyline logic takes a backseat to the whims of an insane McMahon.

Even if he didn't, he was engaged to both her and another woman simultaneously.

TMZ posted:

Andy Slocum's week has gone from bad to worse ... 'cause AFTER the former WWE talent was accused of beating his fiancee Rosa Mendes in Vegas ... his OTHER fiancee in Texas dumped his two-timing rear end ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Slocum -- who wrestled under the name Jackson Andrews -- was named in a police report filed by Mendes, in which she claims Slocum beat her up on multiple occasions in the home they shared together in Vegas.

But the story REALLY came as a shock to a woman named Amber Stovall ... who thought she was EXCLUSIVELY engaged to Slocum ... who she had been dating for the past 4 and a half years.

“I was not aware of his double life with Rosa," Amber tells us ... adding, "I'm incredibly angry and I feel betrayed."

Amber -- who says the two shared a home in Houston and have two bulldogs -- tells us, "I was blindsided by the TMZ story. He had just flown me out to Vegas the weekend after July 4th and we made plans for him to return home to Houston at the end of August. “

For the record, Rosa -- who's a WWE Diva -- was in Texas on the weekend after July 4th ... when he flew Amber to Vegas. Basically, he pulled off a fiancee switcheroo.

Despite the lies, Amber insists Slocum was never violent with her ... telling us, "He's never even raised his voice to me."

Obviously, Amber has since called off the engagement ... noting, "He has not reached out to me despite my efforts to contact him since I found out about Rosa. So as of today, I have cut off all joint accounts which includes his cell phone."

Multiple calls to Andrews have not been returned ... and maybe now we know why.

Alvarez commented that he would love to interview him just to ask: "What was your end game there?"
