"Did You Know" that WWE promotes their social media presence to obnoxious levels? They inform us every week with stats like their fans are more socially engaged than those who watch reruns of Matlock. Every now and then they throw us a bone to make us feel like were a part of their family. They even leave it up to us to do their job for them and book stipulations for their matches! Or so they lead us to believe. On Raw, we were given the choice of putting Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in a No Holds Barred Match, a Falls Count Anywhere Match or the dreaded No Disqualification Match! Wait a second those all sound the same! Wheres my option for Hell in a Cell? An Inferno Match? Judy Bagwell on a pole, or a Punjabi Prison Match? I feel so used. I hope you havent been living with guilt all week for your vote, because it really didnt matter what match was chosen. The ending was still going to be Ambroses head going through a cinder block! It was unavoidable. So dont patronize us WWE, give us some real options, or dont bother. If I cant vote for something important like the color of Cesaros trunks or limit how many minutes Stephanie McMahon gets to be on TV each night, then Im not voting at all.
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.
