The summer heat must be getting to everyone in wrestling this past week. Siblings broke up, an ungodly amount of belly-to-back suplexes were dealt out, and WWE decided we needed even more of Michael Cole by putting him on Main Event too. It was sad and yet strangely comforting all at the same time. WWEs second biggest pay-per-view of the year has come and gone, and we now have an extreme part-time champ. Most fans, though, dont seem to mind as its always pleasant to have a break from Cena, the greatest champion of all time! Or so WWE says. In regards to the Bellas breaking up, Lawler said hed never seen anything like it. Apparently he never saw Christian turn on Edge (when they were still considered storyline brothers), Scott Steiner turn on Rick, Owen turn on Bret, or Matt Hardy turn on Jeff Hardy. He should probably start watching more wrestling. He should also stop buying so many un-opened bottles of Diet Mountain Dew and just order the network. It was also a week of selective watching, when on Raw, Michael Cole proclaimed when is the last time you saw Luke Harper as the smallest man in the match? Lawler responded with never." Um how about on SmackDown three days before when the two teams had their first match? Huh, how about that Cole? Well, thats just some minor nit-picking. Its time to get to the good stuff. Heres 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.
