If you're in WWE, and you want to get even with your foe, all you have to do is stand on a table and yell at them. This somehow causes the wrestler who has trained for years in brutal hand-to-hand combat to lose all voluntary control of their body and stare at the person trying to get their attention. We saw this happen twice this week when Jesse Pinkman yelled at Alberto Del Rio (and what a waste of Aaron Paul by the way!), and later on SmackDown when Del Rio returned the favor and cost Ziggler his match. Is there anything lazier than the desk distraction? The evil wrestler doesn't even get up on the ring apron to puzzle his adversary. Yet it always works. That's Xavier Woods type shenanigans, not former world champion nonsense! It looks like this may be leading to a WrestleMania match between Del Rio and Ziggler in a battle of the lost mid-carders. If that's the case, why did they have Del Rio job to Sheamus, even though he had a huge advantage on SmackDown? If that match goes through, it's doubtful that it will do anything for either man's career. Perhaps WWE could keep this short, since the interest level is low. Time to book the first ever announcers table match, where the loser is the first one pushed off.
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.
