After years of complaining that WWE no longer wrote proper angles, WWE wrote a proper angle, and people complained about that too.

But this wasn't simply a case of wrestling fans' inability to stop mithering for even a single minute; in revealing Jason Jordan as the illegitimate son of Kurt Angle, WWE had not only repeated one of their most anti-climactic angles (we'll get to that), but tied a soap-opera style albatross to the neck of one of their most promising superstars.

Sadly, that same neck was to suffer even greater calamity in the coming months. Fans vociferously rejected Jordan's apparent babyface push on the coattails of his father, and things went from bad to worse when the former American Alpha star was sent under the knife after damaging a cervical vertebrae. Unlike his 'mock' father, Jordan has wisely decided against wrestling after suffering a broken freakin' neck, but at the unfortunate cost of his promising career.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
