https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxUtl54amRU Man I hate it when WWE tries to be cute. Theyre not in the business to make people go awwww! theyre supposed to be booking feuds that fans can get emotionally invested in. But hey, if the company wants to put together one of their cute, stupid little videos to promote SmackDown moving to a new night, then go for it. Its their business, they can do what they want. But for the love of The Great Khali, leave the heels out of it! Or at least leave the heels that people are supposed to be afraid of out of it. The thing is, the wrestlers at the psychiatrist commercial aired during SmackDown. That meant that one moment you were supposed to get emotionally involved in the Bray Wyatt vs. Dean Ambrose feud, and the next youre supposed to laugh at that big silly Bray seeing Thursday in a Rorschach test. Nope. I dont like it. For WWE, was it really worth putting Bray in that video just so a couple of people could get a small chuckle at it? Wouldnt it be better if some fans actually hated him and wanted to, oh, I dont know, pay $9.99 a month to see him get beat up at a pay-per-view? That just seems like a better business decision to me.

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.
