6. The Footlong Secret
How often do you see a promo backstage with a giant Subway sandwich and a Subway drink located right in the middle of the shot? The only other times I can recall something like that was when world famous pedophile Jared Fogle came to Raw. Theres just something so off-putting about wrestlers shilling things on WWE TV in character. Its something I cant wrap my head around from a logic standpoint! I know in wrestling you have to overlook many things, but for some reason, this is just something I cant do. So from a storyline aspect, whose Subway sandwich was sitting up in that locker? Why did they put it up there? Why would Renee Young interview Natalya since shes not in any real feud? As soon as you saw that footlong, you knew Nattie was going to work in Subway during her promo. It would have been really weird if she wouldnt have actually. She credits her being in shape to the rotisserie style chicken sandwich. So if you want to be like Nattie, and job to people you know in inconsequential matches, and be obsessed with cats on a bad reality TV show, and try to conduct a seance with your dead uncle, then go buy that sub or something.

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.
