This is what I call random video: WWE (they still have that?) performer The Miz doing some bad routine – I’m assuming at an event in Chicago – where he challenges Alfonso Soriano to a match, and blasts the Cubs for not winning a World Series in over 100 years. I think Jay Mariotti may have written the dialogue. Don’t worry, Alfonso didn’t accept the challenge. Actually, he didn’t do much of anything – just stood there like a brick, absorbing the scripted abuse. I’m guessing Alfonso was aware this was all going to happen – it’s wrestling after all – but, obviously, there was no rehearsal, or he skipped rehearsal, or he forgot the facial expressions he practiced in rehearsal and elected to remain completely impassive, like Rain Man.
