WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (March 15)
7. Behind The Times
You can tell that in WWE, theres no African Americans anywhere near upper management. Perhaps outside of his own wrestlers and Mr. T, Vince McMahon has never even met a black man. Besides thinking it was funny to say the n-word on TV to John Cena once, what other way is there to explain Mizdow wearing that wig on his head to look like a black man, R-Truth on commentary, and the stereotypical New Day act? Now lets focus on R-Truth. He is not funny. Im sorry R. Maybe in a non-WWE setting hes a riot, but hes incredibly obnoxious in McMahon Land. Hes not even neutral funny, hes Turn the channel this is embarrassingly awful non-funny. This is sad actually. Its a culmination of a wasted career. Go back to 2002 and see Truth inside of an NWA-TNA ring. He showed fire on his promos, and seemed to be a future top star for the fledgling company. It never quite worked out for him, and now he seems to be employed in the wrestling business only because an old, insulated, crazy millionaire is entertained by him.
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.
