As bad as a snowed in Raw could have been, WWE made the most of it. I was half-expecting them to bring in Nikolai Volkoff and El Torito and recreate Tuesday Night Titans. Instead, we got some serious promos that started paving the way for WrestleMania. It was all pretty solid, well almost all of it. That wacky Dean Ambrose being up to his wacky hijinks again wasnt so good. Ambrose couldnt stand to be snowed in for a night, so he apparently hitchhiked his way to WWE headquarters just so he could...um...well Im not quite sure what he was hoping to accomplish. He said it was cold in the building, but that was about it. Oh yeah, and he announced that hes going to make it to WrestleMania as well! Good for him! Im pretty sure he would have been booked anyway if he hadnt risked his life, but whatever, he is the Lunatic Fringe after all! Ambrose should have just decided to take a snow day instead of coming into work for another comedy skit.
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.
