2. Superstars Exposed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8sH4nV77Hw I dont get it anymore. I understand nothing about WWEs current mindset when it comes to presenting their shows. They seem to have no problem with telling you a story, and then minutes later saying Never mind, that story isnt real! You didnt actually get invested in it did you? This week, the company introduced Superstars Exposed, which was a stupid graphic, filled with stupid information, that you could look up on the stupid internet if you wanted to! We learned that Lana really isnt this evil woman that we should dislike. She was actually in Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2 with the delightful Anna Kendrick. Hey, how about that? She was also a backup dancer for Usher and Pink. Well Ill be. So shes not the evil anti-American manger after all? What is the benefit of the Superstars Exposed graphic? What is one positive, at all, of giving information of the person behind the character on a show during the actual show? Ive been watching the show Fargo recently, and at no point do they show me a graphic saying Did you know Ted Danson was in Cheers and Getting Even With Dad along with Macaulay Caulkin? No. Because that would be stupid of them. They want people to get involved in their shows. Now WWE, they want you do know it's all a big, dumb joke. But who is this joke on?

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.
