You know, to be fair, The Big Show was only acting in self defense. Sure, he was verbally harassing the legends on Raw, but Ric Flair was the one to throw the first punch! And does HBK not have a Superkick or two left in him? He just stood there with Hulk Hogan, as a 65-year-old was knocked unconscious in front of him. Or does Michaels only save his finisher for unsuspecting babyfaces like Daniel Bryan? The biggest question of the week is why does it always take the babyfaces so long to save their friends? The beginning of SmackDown had Bryan, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan standing side by side. At the end of of the show, Bryans friends sure took their sweet time coming to save him. Its not like they were dressed and ready to leave the arena either, they were all still in their wrestling gear! Just a couple dudes hanging out in wrestling trunks who didn't bother to watch Bryan's match, despite the high probability of shenanigans. Maybe McMahon is right about those millenials. And the worst line of the week? Lets go with Michaels saying that Flair and Hogan wouldnt be anywhere without the Royal Rumble. Well, besides Ric Flair being in his early 40s when he won the Rumble, and Hogan already having sold out the Silverdome, I think its fair to say that isnt true. But lets not waste anymore time. We got a Rumble of our own to get through, and its time to draw the entries for the worst of the week!
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.
