Having been at this job for many years now, I have seen plenty of Bully Ray takes that have made me stop in my tracks and ponder just what on earth what he going on about. That said, the only time a Bully Ray opinion has left me as confused as this one he has on Jacob Fatu was when he rage quitted on the Wyatt Sicks eating at Whataburger right after their debut. Let’s reiterate; over the past couple of days, Fatu all but defeated Roman Reigns to win a World Title, got his heat back immediately afterward, left Reigns and his goon squad laying to close out “Raw.” And I am supposed to sit here and think that he’s in a bad spot?!

Normally this would be the part where I’d try to see where Bully was coming from, but I can’t; there is no other way to see what’s going on and suggest anything other than Jacob Fatu being in a really, really good position right now. Roman Reigns is the biggest star in WWE last I checked, and Fatu isn’t just hanging with him, but he’s besting him time and time again other than in winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Sure, I would not expect him to beat Reigns in this feud, and the follow up could be a spot where WWE very easily drops the ball with Fatu. But right now, at this very moment? Jacob Fatu doesn’t just look good; he looks great. And I don’t think the crowd reacting to him either way changes that as long as they are reacting. The fact that they are, and the fact that Fatu’s been booked as strong as he is tells me this is working. How anyone could suggest otherwise is beyond me.
