Tony "Mike Wallace" Schiavone grills Shockmaster on his appearance change--it's out of respect for his blue collar roots. Gosh, could Dusty have been behind this? A kid is filling a balloon with powder for some reason. Shockmaster admits to being clumsy, but states that he's in charge once the bell rings. He gets overzealous blowing up a balloon and powder goes everywhere. This is a far cry from Up Close.

Look, we all know that Shockmaster was reduced to a joke by now, but did Tony have to make it worse by his attitude? It's almost like they were trying to bury poor Fred for good, and I'd have thought that Dusty wouldn't do that to his family.

 

Something tells me that Ottman's had enough of being called a clumsy ox, the way he responded to Tony's question about being uncoordinated. He almost sounded like a heel when he talked about how in charge he was once he got in the ring, but if the fans had seen WarGames, they knew he was right. It's not his fault that the heels practically no-sold the fact that they'd lost.

 

God bless Ottman, he no-sells the kids calling him Uncle Fred on camera. Did the kids know that they weren't supposed to call him that while the cameras were rolling? Then again, "Uncle Shockmaster" would have sounded completely ridiculous. Maybe they could have compromised on "Uncle Shocky".

 

This was a hell of a lot more embarrassing than the first installment of the Amateur Challenge. If this is all Dusty could think to do with his own brother-in-law, maybe he (Ottman) should have stayed with Vince.
