How sad is WWEs booking that when you see R-Truth and Wade Barrett about to face off, you consider Barrett the underdog? Watching those two on SmackDown, you knew it was inevitable that BNB would somehow cost himself the match. This is somehow supposed to get people to then want to watch his match with Dean Ambrose on a pay-per-view. Now every few weeks here I need to make note of the sad state of the Intercontinental title, but its only because things just keep getting worse. Dean Ambrose shouldnt even waste his time trying to win the thing. It sure didnt do much for Luke Harper, Miz and Dolph Ziggler. When Ambrose sat at the announcers desk on SmackDown, he didn't do anything physical to cost Barrett a win. He didnt jump on the table to distract Barrett, he even turned his back. Somehow that was more than enough for a professional trained fighter to absolutely lose his cool and allow himself to get rolled up by Road Doggs tag team partner from 2000. I know Ambrose wants his face at WWE Headquarters, but I cant imagine a photo of the Intercontinental champion will be placed anywhere but in a bathroom stall.
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.
