We're on the road to Extreme Rules and things are starting to get extremely mediocre. It can't be helped as the yearly WrestleMania hangover is in full effect. There's no Undertaker, no Brock Lesnar and we're now settling into a new normal. Also, did you know what TNA has a pay-per-view this week? Most people did not, as Impact's ratings dropped to all-time low levels. That's not much of a yes movement for Eric Young's title reign, that's a channel changing movement. Of course, it wasn't all bad: The Shield's attacks on SmackDown were a lot of fun (poor Brad Maddox took a brutal toss into the wall), Antonio Cesaro got WWE's first tornado siren theme music since Perry Saturn, and Paul Heyman and Zeb Colter had great dueling promos. But who wants to hear about that? That's not what we're here for. Let's talk about the bad things in wrestling. It's time to button your Divas replica title, dig out your Papa Shango t-shirt, and most importantly call your momma, because it's time for WWE and TNA's 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.
