Goodness gracious, great balls of wrestling!

This week in the squared-circle, we learned that Kalisto is the new king of the dumpster match. All hail the Dumpster King! Not only does that look good on a resume, but not since the days of Duke Droese has someone been so talented at dropkicking their opponent into some garbage. Will Kalisto next bring back the Hog Pen match?

Impact's ratings took a huge hit this week (they lost over 70,000 viewers from the week before). Sure, the NFL draft was going on, but it's almost like two announcers yelling at each other for two hours every single week has been some sort of turnoff to the fanbase. Who would have guessed?

On SmackDown, WWE pulled off the impressive feat of making Shinsuke Nakamura already feel like any other wrestler. There's still time to turn it around, but it wasn't a good start. It's basically the Dolph Ziggler effect. At one point Ziggler felt special, but everything he touches now feels less "Show Off" and more "turn the show OFF!"

Okay, the bad jokes are out of the way (mostly...for now), so let's get ready to let those great balls of fire loose as we heat up the 7 worst wrestling moments 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. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
