It doesn’t matter if Garett Bischoff “paid his dues” as a ref on Impact, or if he tried really hard to be a professional wrestler, he just wasn’t good. Actually, he was terrible.

He was pushed as a BIG DEAL in TNA, as he received silly vignettes of him working out. Cool, the dude can lift some weights. But can he cut a promo or deliver a decent match? No.

The most ridiculous moment of his push is when he was a captain at Lethal Lockdown. Who the hell did Garett Bischoff have the right to lead? You’d probably expect the Braun Strowman jobbers from Raw, but no, he had Austin Aries, A.J. Styles, Mr. Anderson and Rob Van Dam on his side. Oh, and Garett got the winning pinfall.

And in one of the saddest, most transparent “please like this guy” moves in wrestling in years, we saw Hulk Hogan giving his friend's son his endorsement on-air. Didn’t work.

Garett later joined Aces and Eights as a lackey, but those few months being pushed as a future top star are among the worst things TNA has ever done. No joke. And isn’t it quite amazing that his entire wrestling career took place while his dad had power in a nationally televised wrestling company, and basically ended right afterwards?

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. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
