7. Ghost Opponent
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LLtsFRvQQw Raw gave us approximately a two second match on Monday with the Divas, but TNA gave us a longer match that was worse, because no one seemed to understand what the rules were. Neither Taz or Josh Matthews could explain the intergender pairing of Robbie E and Angelina Love vs. Brooke and Chris Melendez. The tag rules were confusing them, which means it probably shouldnt have been booked. It was one giant mess, but not the entertaining kind. You gotta feel for Melendez who only has one leg, because he lost one in the Iraq war. Theres an interesting story to tell there, but TNA would rather have him participate in BroMans nonsense whenever he shows up. The man didnt lose his leg so he could appear in matches that start with Zema Ion yelling Bah Bah Bah Bowwwww! The ending of the match saw one of the worst spots of the year when Brooke went up to the top rope with absolutely no targets in sight! There wasnt anyone in the ring that she could have possibly jumped on. She didnt even look at anyone outside the ring. She just climbed up there as if she was just waiting for Robbie E to throw her off. Maybe shes just given up on wrestling and wanted to be thrown off. In TNA, thats a feeling thats probably not too hard to understand.

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.
