5. The Next Hall Of Fame Inductee Is...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWFouTUQO98 So far this year, four people have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The Ultimate Warrior, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Lita and now Paul Bearer will be enshrined the night before WrestleMania XXX. Each of these inductees was originally announced on Raw. Somehow, four days after, we see the exact same video again along with the announcers asking us "Who will be the next person inducted? Find out next!" Um...you just told us who it was, four days ago. Why does WWE do that? On SmackDown, the announcers constantly talk about things that happened on Raw. So then why do they every week pretend like we're learning about the Hall of Fame inductee for the first time? It just makes WWE feel even more out of touch if the announcers don't remember what happened on Monday. Raw and SmackDown often have direct rematches from the other show, and it's usually not mentioned that it's the second time we've seen it. Why stop there? If WWE is going to be that lazy, why not just re-air Raw on Friday nights and pretend the entire show is new again? Why not air WrestleMania 3 in place of WrestleMania XXX? Hulk Hogan will be there, and if you squint hard enough, Batista kind of resembles Hercules Hernandez.

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.
