4. This Is The Revolution?
When fans are chanting We Want Lesnar during a match between the NXT Womens Champ and the Divas champ, then you have failed as a company. The two women gave it their all, but they were essentially set up to fail due to hasty, lazy booking. Neither Sasha or Nikki was given a single minute to talk about why this was a big match. It was champ vs. champ, which opens up a lot of storyline possibilities, but they were tossed out there...and Sasha didnt even bring her belt. The Divas Revolution is getting closer to disaster territory every week. We still know nothing about Charlotte or Becky, except that one likes to say Wooo! and one likes to talk about being a Lass Kicker. Instead of bringing up one woman at a time and having them shine, they were brought up together by Stephanie McMahon. She announced it was a revolution (because the heads of corporations are always the ones to announce revolutions), and essentially told everyone what team they could play on. Again, the big match at SummerSlam would have felt more special if this was the first time they all met up. But every Raw and SmackDown since the so-called revolution began, theyve been fighting and exchanging wins and losses. So what does the winner in the giant tag match get? How about a written excuse of absence from the rest of this storyline.

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.
