Hello Laaaadies. Whats short, flaccid and over before it really gets started? Why its Val Venis run in TNA! Or you could call him Sean Morley, as thats what he went by in Dixieland. On the big January 4, 2010 show Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff were bringing out one former WWE and WCW wrestler after the next. While some of debuting talent were bigger names causing some excitement, Morley was not one of them. For fans tuning in to see Hogan, they were treated to what look like Sunday Night Heats roster. While Morley was still a decent worker, he showed up with his porn star gimmick, which had run its course a good five years earlier. He took part in a PG version of strip poker with The Beautiful People that didnt really leave us wanting more. Morleys only real feud in TNA was against Christopher Daniels, who had been in the main-event of the pay-per-view before the Hogan era began. Of course, since Morley had more name recognition he won. A short time later he left for Mexico to compete in CMLL. Basically, all TNA got out of him during their one night stand was making one of their own homegrown wrestlers look impotent.
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.
