WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (June 14)
6. Raw Is Ted
Imagine watching Game of Thrones, and halfway through the episode Tyrion Lannister stops and says And now, lets watch an exclusive trailer from Ted 2! Then we have to sit through the entire trailer before the action resumes. Okay, so that may sound like a bit of a stretch, but nothing else screams We have to kill three minutes on this three hour show! more than showing a movie trailer thats been out for weeks already. No other TV show or sporting event would do something like that. Raw is essentially the big game. Its when men and women fight for in-ring domination. Sure, the NFL may do goofy skits on the pre-show (take note of that WWE!) but they dont stop the actual game for promoting movies. Thats for the commercial breaks. And as for those commercials, wed already seen multiple ones for Ted 2 throughout the night! Its not like they showed us anything new! The one thing that we can be thankful for, though, is that Ted didnt actually appear on the show like The Muppets and Scooby Doo. Bah, with the increasing boredom of Raw these days a stuffed bear may have livened things up a bit.
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.
