WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (April 5)
4. Steph Gives Us Hope
Um...Steph, you threw Brock out of the building on Raw, and yelled at Rock and Ronda Rousey the night before to get out of your ring, and told every fan watching that they basically owe all of their happiness to you. Im not sure you realize this, but youre a heel, which means you should do heelish things. Consistently. Shouldnt you, for once in your life keep yourself out of a PR video that airs on Raw? Of course not! Why? Because shes Stephanie McMahon! She gets to show that shes evil, AND good on the same episode of TV. Its so bizarre that no one in management has the brains (or the guts) to tell Steph that her bragging about charity work is counterproductive to the narrative of the show. Its one thing to keep Superstars for Hope segments online, but on TV? It takes people out of the moment. And if it has to go on Raw, Steph should be substituted for any of the 40 or so babyfaces on the active roster. Heck, put in Zack Ryder and give him some TV time for a change! Well, unfortunately, this wasnt the worst thing Stephanie was involved with this 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.
