6. Big Show vs. Roman
Well, its official. The Big Show vs. Roman Reigns is set for Extreme Rules. It feels really, really pointless. And if it feels like weve seen Roman defeat Show on a number of occasions, its because we have. In fact, Roman defeated Show cleanly on the April 6 episode of Raw. That wasnt that long ago WWE creative! The beatings didnt end there, Roman has also defeated Show in tag or singles matches on Raw or SmackDown on April 7, March 30, March 23, February 10, February 9, January 29, January 13, January 6, and January 5. Oh yeah, he also beat him in The Royal Rumble too even when he had Kanes help! Show only has one victory of any sort over Roman this year, so its basically 10-1 in Romans favor. Does this really require any sort of match to prove who is the superior wrestler? WWE had Show out on SmackDown talking about how hes basically the toughest man on the planet. Thats Honky Tonk type level heat. We knew Tonk wasnt the greatest Intercontinental Champ of all time, because he always had to cheat or run away to keep his belt. Its good heat, but only for a certain type of wrestler. Show shoudnt have to rely on making things up to seem legit. WWE should push him as an actual giant who is tough to defeat. But okay, fine, lets do this one more time. But lets stop at 12 in a year.

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.
