WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (March 22)
2. Stop Having Fun!
Imagine going to an NFL game, and seeing fans who were dressed up with wigs and face paint being told to take off the make-up or go home. The WWE has just become so weird the past few years, and increasingly less fun. This past week on Raw, 10 friends sat in the front row dressed as various characters from the past (like Randy Savage and I.R.S.) and were told to ditch the costumes or go home. I understand getting the boot for bringing a "Chris Benoit is Innocent" sign to a show like some guy did last week, but getting threatened with eviction over red suspenders? Who in WWE (most likely Kevin Dunn) actually gets upset about this type of stuff? Who hates fun? Well, Raw ratings hit 2.7 this week, where the past two years in the buildup to WrestleMania they were in the 3.0s. They shouldnt be annoying their most loyal fans like that. And most importantly, where was this type of security when The Nexus destroyed the ring?
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.
