Where have you gone WrestleMania? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo woo woo. Since Mania was pretty solid, its been hard to accept how lackluster WWEs follow up pay-per-view is looking. Last years Extreme Rules had Evolution vs. The Shield, Cena vs. A still entertaining Bray Wyatt, and Daniel Bryans first title defense against Kane. This year we get a Kiss me Arse match. Only $9.99 to watch one man kiss another mans arse? Sold! The go-home week for Extreme Rules wasnt a very good one. HHH once again had to play babyface for a segment to hype Tough Enough, Big Show wasnt there to promote his match, and neither was Daniel Bryan or Wade Barrett (if that match even goes down). However, WWE did have enough time for Ryback to beat up a man in a hotdog costume. Extreme! Elsewhere in wrestling, Bo Dallas went for some cheap heat by calling Episode One the best Star Wars film. He also said Roman Reigns is the Tim Tebow of WWE. He should have stuck with the Star Wars theme and called him Jar Jar Binks. Thats mega heat! And over in TNA an evil cult leader who likes to drink beer and owns a haunted barn convinced Mickie James to wrestle one more time for the fans. Somehow that wasnt the worst of it all. In fact, there were seven things worse! So settle in, and lets knife edge chop our way through WWE and TNAs worst 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.
