If you were at work, and a co-worker came over to you and challenged you to a fight (or to see who can enter data faster, or sell more stocks, or arrest more people or pick up more dead roadkill off the road...whatever job you have) and the stipulation is that if you lose you would have to give your entire salary for the next year to them, but if you win, eh, you get nothing...except PRIDE, would you take the challenge?

If so, then you’d be an idiot for accepting those terms. A brave idiot I guess. But an idiot. A STUPID IDIOT! Well Dolph Ziggler fell for this trap and was cool with putting up his number one contendership at SummerSlam. This is a trope that happens in wrestling quite often, but it’s a bad trope.

Dolph should be aware that this is professional wrestling, so people cheat a lot to win, and refs get knocked out easily, and sometimes the lights go off and when they come back on, Sabu is in the middle of the ring. So even if he easily outwrestled Bray Wyatt, there is still a really good chance—due to interference—that he would lose his opportunity.

Basically, every wrestler on the roster should question his fighting skills, because he will easily follow it.

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. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
