Former WWE United States Champion Rusev playing “Street Fighter 4” is something you should watch today, like immediately. As previously noted, former WWE Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods, real name Austin Creed, has started a gamer channel on Youtube.com called, “Up, Up, Down, Down,” where he plays different video game titles with other WWE superstars at various locations.
In some of the videos, multiple competitors take on the “Gamer Gauntlet,” which is a tournament to decide the winner and loser. The winner gets to don the infamous Nintendo Powerglove, which was invented to use for the original Nintendo Entertainment System in the 1980s and popularized in the film, “The Wizard.”
The loser has to succumb to enduring a “shaming,” or punishment for coming in last place. In various “Gamer Gauntlets” that have taken place so far on the channel, punishments have included eating different levels of extremely hot peppers, doing five pull-ups and receiving knife-edge chops on the way down each time, and eating a tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
In the following video, Creed, Kofi Kingston, Jimmy Uso, Heath Slater, and Rusev, otherwise known as Tong Po, play “Street Fighter 4.” The loser must place his hands on a wall and take baseball-style throws of a tennis ball from each of the other competitors. Watch these superstars “fight” in the following video.
Editor’s Note:
This is awesome. I love when you get to pull back the curtain and see these guys just relaxing and having some fun. This is the kind of stuff I do with my friends…which is about to get even more intense with punishments after watching this.
