Happy New Year everyone! You know, nothing says a new year like a recycled feud from 17 years ago, but instead of a hot Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon angle its a lukewarm Roman Reigns vs. Vince. However, I dont think anything cracked me up more in wrestling lately than the bosses' bizarre Happy New Year! Happy New Year! to random people at the end of Raw. It seems clear that hes lost his mind behind the scenes, so might as well make it a storyline. Bo Dallas had the line of the week when he told Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown It sounds like youre telling a joke, but you never really say anything thats funny. Damn Bo, that was cruel, but so, so, right. Elsewhere, Summer Rae and Tyler Breeze broke up. So Summer and Fandango didnt work, neither did her pairing with Damien Sandow, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, or her tag team with Layla. So Sandow got once chance post-Miz to get over when he was stuck with Curis Axel, and Summer gets like 10 shots. Okay, fair enough. Oh yeah, and The Rock is coming to WrestleMania, so we should have something fun in WWE in about three months! No TNA on the list this week, because they didnt have any new material, but theyll return here with a vengeance next week. That is unless they put together an interesting and well-booked television program. Okay, yeah, theyll be back. Well, lets not waste anymore time as we gather up our pal Damien and DDT our way through WWE and TNAs worst of the week!
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.
