Wendell Wrestles With His Career
August 17th 2006 11:42
The well- documented troubles of Wendell Sailor need no further explanation. All those with even a passing interest in sport know that ‘Dell was a footballer who had it all, then blew it all away. Or should we say, sniffed it all away.
Depending on who you listen to, Wendell is a drug-using boofhead with an ego bigger than his over-inflated pay packet, or a guy who did the wrong thing, took some drugs but they weren’t performance-enhancing so give him a break and let him play again.
Personally, I think he’s a serial idiot who wasted his talent, set a terrible example to the public and generally acted like a complete cretin for most of his career. Good riddance to the guy, he was an over-rated poseur and lets face it, performance enhancing or not – he’s a drug user and a criminal.
Some argue that, “yeah, he’s been naughty but he wasn’t cheating so punish him, but don’t take away his right to earn a living.”
The basis of this argument is that although the ARU don’t want to employ him anymore, he shouldn’t be stopped from working for anyone else, and a two year, worldwide ban is over the top.
Well Wendell, I’m here to help you. I don’t want to see you playing rugby again because you’re an egotistical, drug-using, show-boater and you’re annoying. So ‘Dell – join the WWF. The World Wrestling Federation loves a bad guy and Wendell Sailor is ideal.
He’s a big guy and a great athlete, no-one can argue against that and it would stand him in good stead as a pro-wrestler. More importantly, he’s got a lake of moronic thoughts and a mouth like broken dam, so his words gush forth without the benefit of an idiot filter to keep him quiet.
Being Australian, Wendell would be an exotic change for the beer-guzzling, overweight, intellectual midgets of rural America to hiss and boo at each weekend. I’m sure they’d love to hate his diamond ear-rings too.
I’ve got a great script idea for him. He could start off as a good guy, the new boy on the scene backing up some local hero. Then, when he and his partner get outnumbered in a fight, he could switch allegiances and join the bad guys in beating up on his former team-mate.
It just might work.
