Okay, so Stephanie and Hunter made Roman Reigns look like a big dumb dumb on Raw. To celebrate how smart they are, they had a private conversation with each other, along with millions of other people. They were unaware that a cameraman was two feet from their faces recording every word of dialogue they were saying, and then playing that conversation out to a full arena and households all across the planet. Ooopsie! Okay, you could argue that WWE storytelling is based off of wrestlers not knowing that cameras are recording them backstage. All right, fair enough, but then WWE broke that logic just a short time later. As John Cena was welcoming the 3MB back, sorry, I mean Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan, Stephanie popped up on the big screen, in the exact same room where she was before. She started talking directly to all the wrestlers in the ring and booked them in matches. How did she do that? Because she had a cameraman right of front of her like she did an hour earlier! Apparently in that hour she turned her head 90 degrees to the left and saw him there. Its really not that hard to pick one form of storytelling and stick with it. Either the wrestlers should know theyre being recorded or not. But then again, these are the same people who wrote Suffering succotash son for their potential next top star, so maybe writing anything intelligently is too much to ask for.
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.
