Game of Thrones is back, but why would you spend time with that shows well written characters, attention to details and multi-layered storylines when you could instead be watching a program where one man fights another in hand-to-hand combat, and the loser must kiss the others arse? Because we must know who kisses whose arse! It compels us. Game of Arse is what they should rename Raw. Elsewhere in the world of wrestling, Kane was the most interesting character on an episode of Raw for the first time since 2003. The Hardy Boyz finally realized their boyhood dream of winning the TNA tag team titles, and Naomi had the line of the week when she asked Do wins and losses even matter here? Great question, but no. No they dont. We wish they did, but they dont. In the most confusing statement of the week, JBL claimed that Rusev has the advantage over John Cena in their upcoming Russian chain match because of the old Bruno Sammartino vs. Ivan Koloff chain match of 1976. Well, that makes sense, except that the American was the one who won that match, Koloff was billed as being from Russia, while Rusev is from Bulgaria, and Koloff is actually from Canada. Really, theres no connection between any of it, but JBL doesnt get paid to make sense. Well, we can worry about that later, because right now its time to Tazzmission our way through WWE and TNAs worst moments of the week!
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.
