The holidays are supposed to be all about giving. And WWE did give us something all right: five hours of crap! Youd think they would like to reward us with some good shows for being loyal viewers over the year. They should also want to put forth an entertaining product, so when fans sit down and watch wrestling with their relatives, theyll create some memories that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, no one will want to remember Ho Ho Hogan. Especially Hogan. In other news, Kevin Nash was arrested, which isn't a good way to spend the holidays unless you're Nailz. Seth Rollins, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble combined their powers on Raw and still weren't enough for Captain Planet, I mean John Cena. And Kane was flown into Minneapolis and paid to say exactly two words on Raw. How does one get that job? Meanwhile, TNA gave us the greatest gift of all this week. No original programming! But let's not waste anymore time. Maybe if we talk about what was terrible in WWE this week, they won't re-gift it for us next year! One can always hope for a Christmas miracle.
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.
