8. Snooki
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBDm1kkAFdM It's nice to see that the popularity of Jersey Shore has finally died down. It was getting to be too much, with TNA basing an entire character off the show, and WWE having one of its stars step in the ring. At WrestleMania XXVII, Snooki competed in a six-person tag match. Now keep in mind, some incredibly hard working, talented and life-long wrestlers like Jerry Lynn and Lance Storm have never wrestled in a Mania match. Snooki has. That has to hurt. Most baffling of all is that she was later voted "WWE A-Lister of the Year" for the Slammy Awards. Somehow she beat out Cee Lo Green, Hugh Jackman and The Muppets. Again, that had to really hurt. How did Snooki beat Wolverine? Who considers her an A-lister? What is wrong with the WWE audience? Anyway, her team won at WrestleMania (because why wouldn't an un-trained reality TV star be able to beat up the former women's champion?) and that was pretty much the last we saw of her in the company. We can only wonder now, though, how much longer until Honey Boo Boo gets her WrestleMania match and pins AJ Lee?

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.
