On Main Event, The Bunny made a humping motion in the middle of one of his matches. It wasnt funny, but Michael Cole assured us it was. Byron Saxton rightfully said Its not about being funny, its about winning. He is 100% right within the context of how WWE should be booking their stories. Michael Cole condescendingly replied Uh, its sports entertainment Byron. That seems to be one of the biggest problems in WWE right now. Winning really doesnt matter. When someone wins a match, they should be that much closer to a title shot. Instead, virtually everyone has a .500 record, so everyone is exchanging wins without anyone gaining momentum. The company then arbitrarily decides to give someone a title shot. If you saw Vince McMahon on Steve Austins podcast, you know that wrestling is a dirty word to him. Well Vince is slowly ruining the word entertainment for me. I can find a few good words for what WWE is doing right now, but entertainment is certainly not one of them.
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.
