WrestleMania 31 has come and gone, and with the biggest week in wrestling now out of the way, were left with some big, burning questions. Most pressing of all: Why does Ricky Steamboat always have to wear a gi and headband when he shows up at WrestleMania? And how many times will Joey Mercury jump off the second rope and land into an RKO? It didnt work the first five times! Overall, though, it was a pretty exciting week in wrestling. WrestleMania was solid, Kalisto and Neville made their main roster debuts, Sheamus put some twisty things in his beard, and Impact put on another pretty good show, which means theyve come a long way from their specialty of pretty terrible shows of the past. With all this great stuff going on, that must mean theres nothing to complain about right? Why not at all! The bad things in wrestling never take time off, WrestleMania week or not. Unlike The Undertaker, the worst moments of the week doesnt show up just once a year with a new haircut and then disappear again. So pull out your NWO or DX shirt from 1998 one more time and lets celebrate the worst in wrestling!
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.
