Less people who won Slammy Awards actually showed up to receive the award than people who bought a copy of Santas Little Helper. Last year a lot of fans questioned the legitimacy of WWEs Slammy voting when Roman Reigns won Superstar of the Year. It seems those fears have been put to rest, as WWE couldnt possibly be stupid enough to let four Slammy winners not show up, right? Well, the stink of the Slammy's is well known, so the winners all stayed at home and avoided answering their phones. What an embarrassment the entire night was. But specifically, what does it say when the people who are nominated for such prestigious awards dont even want to be in the same state? Actually, Brock Lesnar lives in Minnesota, and couldnt be bothered to drive two hours to attend! Otherwise Sting, The Undertaker and The Rock/Ronda Rousey all won too, and not one of them were in the area. Cant say I blame them, as if I was a millionaire, Id be as far away from the Slammy Awards show as humanly possible.
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.
