WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (June 14)
2. The Definitions Of Boredom
We did this last week and it wasnt very good. WWE is clearly messing with us now. Daring us to change the channel! What are we going to do? All start watching TNA? Simply, Sheamus and Randy Orton bring out the worst in each other. Alone theyre fine, but together theyre the Transformers 4 of wrestling matches. Its unnecessary, too long, a bit mechanical, and no one wants to see it. These two had their first singles match at the Royal Rumble 2010. Since then, theyve wrestled in 15 one-on-one televised matches. Add on dozens of other tag and multi-man matches, and youve got something that people are absolutely sick of. And while fans may think seeing those two battle is like watching glue vs. dirt, theyve got nothing on Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins right now. Those two guys are incredibly talented, but they deliver nothing but vast amounts of boredom now when they compete against one another. Thats because with their match on SmackDown, WWE has booked them in 13 televised one-on-one matches since June 3rd of last year. Theyre far eclipsing Orton and Sheamus in terms of consistency. Been there. Done that. Seen it. Lets move on.
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.
