This is hysterical, Michael Cole assured us as we were about to see Mini-Gator vs. El Torito on the October 6 episode of Raw. This is stupid! the crowd responded just a couple of minutes later. In 2014, WWE finally realized that making fun of short people for the sole purpose of being short is kind of mean. They no longer asked them to dance, to grunt and hump things, and wear animal costumes. Just kidding! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mswohypVUns The lowest point of the year in terms of this nonsense was putting Hornswoggle in an alligator costume for no reason, except that he was a mascot for Slater-Gator. When the match against El Torito began, he crawled on all fours because he thought he was an actual alligator. Torito then put a cape around him to try and make him go to sleep. I think it was a metaphor for that entire segment.
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.
