Often overlooked due to the explosive week of news with CM Punk talking about his departure from WWE was Vince McMahons admission of disdain for those under 35. Actually, his entire interview basically exposed just how out of touch he really is. McMahon just didnt seem to have a lot of good answers. Why didnt Cesaro get over? Why its not Vinces fault, or the poor booking. It may be because hes Swiss! Why has no one tried to grab the brass ring since John Cena in 2004? Why its because theyre millenials! Theyre just born and raised that way! You see, back in Vinces day everyone just worked harder. They didnt have time to fool around and push people into pools in their free time. Wait. Thats exactly what Vince did! Sometimes it feels like its just hard to support WWE. The boss is clearly insane. He insulted a good portion of his audience and every wrestler whose came through his company the past 10 years. Gee Vince, Id love to sign up for your struggling Network, but us millenials are just too lazy to figure out how.
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.
