WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (April 10)

3. More Of The Same

First off, good for Zack Ryder for finally getting a nice on-air moment. Sure, it might have just been best to have Kevin Owens hold onto the gold to try and be built back up, but a big surprise like this now and then isn€™t a bad idea. In future multi-man matches that seem to have an obvious winner, you can point back to Ryder winning as an €œanything can happen€ feel. Unfortunately, that feel good moment lasted one day.

The thing is, even with the addition of Maryse, I can€™t get excited about The Miz holding the Intercontinental title again. He had it once in 2012, twice in 2013, and twice in 2014. His last run lasted a day. Are we really going back to this again?

If nothing else, someone like Baron Corbin winning the gold on Raw would have at least been different. It would have given him a strong push out of the gate, but going with The Miz makes Owens and Ryder look worse, and worst of all, feels incredibly stale.

Well, congrats again to Ryder who now has the second least cumulative amount of time with the belt in history, right in between The Mountie and Dean Douglas.

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. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
