“I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go.” – Abraham Lincoln
From a certain viewpoint, Snuka and Abe Lincoln do share some commonalities…although Lincoln was known as “Honest Abe” and Snuka is widely known as “lying scoundrel”, so there are a few serious points of non-commonality, as well.
But, yeah – Snuka is not nearly as badly afflicted by this defeat and horrendous humiliation as any of the other team-members, simply because defeats and horrendous humiliations are a near-constant feature of his life, and have been for a long time. If he let that kind of thing get him down, he’d never spend any time actually being up.
The eyes Snuka is ‘wearing’ are taken from Thomas Lea’s picture “The 2,000 Yard Stare”, of course…I’m not sure how well that reads, or if it just looks like Snuka had his eyes opened uncharacteristically wide while wearing a domino mask. Which, admittedly, would be a perfectly appropriate article of clothing for Snuka in particular, but that wasn’t my intention here.
More on Thursday.
