What the Gimmick Was: A supposed survivor of a nuclear accident. Why its Confusing: In 1979, a 15 year old Adam Bomb lived on Three Mile Island when there was an accident leading to a nuclear meltdown. A bunch of radioactive gas was released into the environment, and is believed to have given some people cancer (though other reports refute this). Thankfully, the young Bomb didnt get cancer, but he somehow received a permanent discolored tongue, which looked like hed just eaten a red popsicle, along with sickly looking yellow eyes. Now there are quite a few things here that just dont quite add up. First off, its pretty convenient that his birth name is Adam Bomb if you ask me. Second, why did the eye problem suddenly go away? Third of all, why did he start throwing toys of nuclear bombs into the crowds? That just seems insensitive on his part. Well, the official radiation release figures estimated that the levels of radiation unleashed upon the population around Three Mile Island were about the strength of a chest x-ray. Obviously someone isnt telling the truth. Its either a group of scientists or Adam Bomb who is lying. We can only hope that Mr. Bomb is out there somewhere and has recovered from his various bizarre ailments.
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.
