6. Austin Likes Games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_ZxKCP48_4 The biggest star in the history of Monday Night Raw had not appeared on the show in over four years, until last week. He was used to introduce The Undertaker. This is the tale of Stone Cold Steve Austin. If anything, shouldnt Taker be introducing him? Well, that seemed like a wasted opportunity to pop a rating, but what they did with Austin this week made last weeks appearance seem like gold. On Raw, Miz played WWE 2K16 in a room full of random people. They gladly let him insult them, and decided to stick around to watch him play, because they are all morons. Who are these people? Anyway, after one of the skits, Steve Austin just popped in out of nowhere. No Stunner, no beer, he didnt even run Miz over with a Zamboni. After Austins second appearance on Raw in four years, they cut to Michael Cole, who immediately, and unenthusiastically, said WWE 2k16 is packed with the biggest roster ever and its available tomorrow. Shouldnt Cole have been like Holy s**t where did Steve Austin come from? What is he doing here? What does he want? No, because the top draw in the history of the company was only used to put over a game that comes out every single year. That is money and time well spent on WWEs part. Maybe next year he can show up to promote a new Wal-Mart exclusive action figure.

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.
