At Worst of the Week, I often complain about Dolph Ziggler, among the many things I complain about in general. The man is super talented, and if space and time is truly infinite, then there is some version of reality out there where he is main-eventing pay-per-views as a heel against a healthy Daniel Bryan. But in this version of reality, Dolph just isnt clicking. He looks like a heel, he talks like a heel, and he acts like a heel, but WWE just wont let him turn. After Goldust, Neville, Truth and Dolph declared victory on SmackDown, The Showoff couldnt help but beat up his partners to prove some sort of point, but one thats already been established over these past 30 years.
Just like the Rumble match, every man for themself brother, sorry. One man goes to WrestleMania and its going to be me. -Doph Ziggler, after attacking Goldust.
Well that was a huge d**k move on Dolphs part. None of the announcers questioned his motives either. How is attacking two innocent, unsuspecting babyfaces not a heel turn? We get the point that the Rumble is every man for himself...even though thats a stupid idea, since you should team up with friends until youre the final two, but whatever. Maybe in some alternate universe the babyfaces in WWE arent so dumb.
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.
