WrestleMania 32 isn't until April, but Felipe Melo of Inter Milan simply cannot wait. Look at what the midfielder did to Lucas Biglia on Sunday in Serie A action to earn a red card.
Who does he think he is, Shawn Michaels with some Sweet Chin Music?
I know what my father in law, a big soccer guy who used to play for Argentine club Arsenal, would say when seeing something like this, and that is that Melo needs to be sent to jail for the offense because it was that bad. And you know what, he might be right.
A long suspension is surely warranted, thought it doesn't look deliberate, and Melo was sure to check on Biglia after. But what was he thinking? Maybe he is training to be the next Rey Misterio Jr. when he brought up that second leg. What a horrific tackle.
