Forget Madison Bumgarner’s historic heroics in last night’s Game 7 of the 2014 World Series, the true Most Valuable Player of this postseason is Rikk Wilde, a regional Chevy executive who was thrust into the spotlight after Wednesday’s game and unwittingly turned himself into an Internet icon, while also handing out a recently recalled truck. A bewildered Wilde, a zone manager for Chevy in the Kansas City area, was the one selected to present Bumgarner with his reward for being named the Series MVP — a new Chevy Colorado. Obviously flustered, and armed only with a handful of note cards that he kept trying to reference, Wilde eventually gave up trying to tout the specific features of the truck, merely saying it featured all sorts of “technology and stuff.” What Wilde failed to mention is that — like just about everything else GM has touched in the past decade — the 2015 Colorado was recently recalled before it even made its way to most dealers. Earlier this month, the carmaker told Chevy dealers that had the trucks to put a stop-sale on the 2015 Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks over airbag concerns.
