3. King vs. Jester
July 13, July 6, June 15, June 14, May 26, April 28, February 17. What do these dates have in common? They were televised one-on-one matches between R-Truth and Wade Barrett. We now have the opportunity to pay for another one at Battleground on July 19th. The two keep exchanging wins back and forth all over a stupid crown and a plunger. What does it matter if Truth wins? Barrett has already lost to half the roster since becoming King of the Ring. With four of the Truth/Barrett matches occurring within the span of 28 days, how does no one in creative say We just did this exact match last week, and it wasnt very good, so why are we going to do it again? In un-related news (thats actually completely related), SmackDown drew the lowest rating its done in over a year.

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.
