It was another crazy week in the world of professional wrestling. Sadly, we lost one of the all-time greats, ceremoniously, Samoa Joe competed in his first televised match in a WWE owned ring, and shockingly, R-Truth had the first funny segment of his entire career when he thought he was booked for the Money in the Bank match (Kanes delivery of Youre not even in the match! was stellar as well). Its kind of lazy that TNA showed Samoa Joe in their Slammiversary commercial, since hes, as mentioned above, kind of in NXT right now. Elsewhere in bad moments, Lana hurt her ankle, and may have tragically even broken a shoe. She later confessed in a wwe.com exclusive that Dolph Ziggler and her read books together and Talk about them. Thats some fine writing right there WWE. But cmon now! What would Lana and Ziggler possibly read together? Unless Ziggy carries a stack of Goosebumps books with him in his suitcase, Im not buying it. And lastly, the worlds most annoying wrestler, Mojo Rawley of course, returned to NXT this week. It seems managements only note to him during his time off was to be louder, more obnoxious, and to dance. That always works. Just ask Brodus Clay, The Cat, The Great Khali and Victoria. Only WCW could make dancers work. Does Alex Wright ring a bell Vince? Well, lets not waste any more time. Because these are hard times Daddy, so lets get ready to Bionic Elbow our way through WWE and TNAs 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.
