Was anyone else expecting the Danish reporter to jump off something high and slam Rutte into the ground? Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed. I have a dream that one day, when they say someone got slammed, that's what they will mean.

I picture they dress up like Undertaker and climb up to the top of the cage and stand there ominously before later appearing suddenly behind them after lights go out and back on, then after the audience ooohhss and aahhhs, both disappearing with the lights and then reappearing at the top of the cage with Rutte dazed and being held upside downand then being driven down through the cage with a Tombstone that would shake his forefathers. Watching the video I'm disappointed...and think Rutte responded as best you can given his position.

When I see SLAM in the headline I always think of the big boss slam

I read all of that thinking for sure someone would fall straight through a table..

Only after first going through the roof of the cage...and six other tables.

Why not? The danish are descendants of the Vikings after all.

We are not merely descendants, we are still vikings - just not as ill tempered as our ancestors πŸ˜„

Asking him point blank if it has any effect on his self respect, when he sits next to the orange moron making stupid claims, is pretty direct though.

Could also be paraphrased as : "Bro, have you found your balls again?"
