The vast majority of what youve seen in pro wrestling has been done before. But one of the stories that we didnt need to see again was the one about a man losing his hair in a hair match, and it somehow, magically never grew back. Its been done most recently in WWE when Kurt Angle lost his locks in a match vs. Edge. While the NXT specials on the WWE Network have largely been great, theres been a few moments that seem like they came straight from the mind of Vince McMahon. At Takeover 4 Way, Sylvester Lefort took on Enzo Amore in a hair vs. hair match. Lefort lost, and didnt lose his hair. Its bad enough when a promotion doesnt follow through with a stipulation, but things got even worse. Amore and Big Cass somehow had access to some magical cream that would immediately remove hair from your body. It fell on a poodle (in an awful segment aired weeks earlier), and then it got on Marcus Louis hair, and he hasnt been the same since. No hair. No eyebrows. Not good. Not funny. Keep this stuff on the main roster!
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
