2. Edge And Vickie Guerrero
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ctv-l7ElKc The pairing of Edge and Lita was a great fit for both parties, and helped elevate them to main-event status. Edge's next relationship was just weird and uncomfortable to watch. In late 2005, the wrestling world had lost a great friend in Eddie Guerrero. At that point, we were familiar with his wife Vickie Guerrero only because of her marriage to him. She was involved in a few of his storylines in the past, and after his death she was given a prominent role on TV. But seeing her on TV at first was usually just a sad reminder of a lost hero. A couple of years later, Vickie was becoming a more prominent TV figure and eventually turned heel. She then began a relationship with Edge, who is five years her junior. But more importantly, fans weren't really comfortable watching her make out with Edge after we'd mainly associated her with Eddie for so long. It just felt wrong. The love between the two became heated, and a marriage was quickly set. Sadly, unlike basically every wrestling wedding ever, this one didn't go off as planned. We found out that Edge was having an affair with the wedding planner Alicia Fox, and the ceremony was called off. Thankfully that was the end of it, but not before making fans uncomfortable for far too long.

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.
