This week in the world of professional wrestling, Wade Barrett lost two more non-title matches to the surprise of no one. Paul Heyman said hed pick Roman Reigns over Bruno Sammartino and Steve Austin, which no one believed. Brock Lesnar decided to go home, and Curtis Axel amazed the world with the best promo of his career on Raw. Then he quickly butchered his next one on SmackDown by saying hed been in the Royal Rumble match for hours, not days. Perhaps this mistake will lead to more dumb luck which will somehow get him more TV time. We also saw John Cena get kicked in the balls at Fastlane which was kind of fun. Then the announcers ruined it by putting more focus on Cena losing because everyone suddenly thinks he's old and frail. Forget that he was kicked in the nards! The storyline seems to be that Cena is a man getting ready to move into a nursing home. He only lost because it was past his bedtime apparently. Its hard for heels to generate heat when their evil tactics are ignored. Lastly, the feud with Goldust and Stardust heated up so much that Goldy threatened to beat his brother so badly that hed just have to be Cody again. He then won with a roll-up. Believe it or not, that wasnt the worst of it all. So call up your cousin Luke and your cousin Butch, and tell them its time for 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.
