WWE tried to force us to like Roman Reigns, and when that failed in spectacular fashion, it created a chain effect that appears to be damaging everyone and everything around it. WWE is now doing the unthinkable, and making Daniel Bryan less likeable. There were plenty of ways for the company to book a Bryan/Reigns showdown, but they went with such a terrible choice, that its sure to make conspiracy theorists think that theyre trying to cool down Bryan on purpose. Instead of booking Reigns and Bryan to act like a couple of angry children, they could have had Reigns willingly give Bryan a shot at Fastlane because he felt like he deserved it. Instead, he was tricked by The Authority, which made him seem like an idiot, and Bryan seem like a kid that just cant wait his turn. On Raw, The Yes Chant began treading into obnoxious territory as Bryan used it to distract Roman. Later he gloated how the fans would be cheering him instead at Fastlane. To counter-attack, Roman signed autographs for fans in the front row. Now, I understand how thousands of people cheering for someone who isnt in the match could be distracting, but someone behind your back taking photos of themselves causing you to lose your concentration? Somebody put these kids to bed. Maybe when they have a nice nap and some milk theyll start acting like adults again.
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.
