WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (August 16)
2. Surprise!
Who doesnt love a good surprise in wrestling? A special mystery tag partner, a heel swerve turn, or JBL going more than five minutes without saying something annoying. Those are good surprise things. This week on Impact, we had a different sort of surprise. Jeff Jarrett was cooking up a special entrant in the King of the Mountain match after Drew Galloway had been knocked out. Old Double J had a smirk on his face, like he had something up his sleeve that would really put EC III in jeopardy. He gave us Robbie E. Yep. Robbie E, the man who has a gimmick thats based off The Jersey Shore, which hasnt even been on TV in years was his chosen one to fight. This was his master plan? Robbie E isn't even a GFW wrestler! So if Jeff wants to keep the King of the Mountain title in the company that he owns, why would he put in one of the people from TNA? Next time Jarrett, think a little harder on who you want as a surprise! Get Petey Williams on the phone, Chris Harris, or even Cheex. That would at least be some sort of fun surprise, and not the sad kind of one.
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.
