Its been widely believed that once Vince McMahon is no longer in power Triple H will be running the creative side of things in WWE. In some ways, that will probably be a good thing. That means no more dancing fat men, singing contests or making fun of little people. Right? Perhaps not, as NXT, which is Hunters baby, gave us some little people to laugh at on this weeks episode. The Vaudevillains called out the Lucha Dragons, but instead of the real deal, two much shorter men in masks came out. Of course, the announcers had a good laugh at this. Perhaps theyve never seen Raw or SmackDown where this happens on an almost weekly basis. Even Renee Young (who I have foolishly placed my hopes on to not eventually be as annoying as Michael Cole or JBL) couldnt help but drink the WWE Kool-Aid. She referred to them as Lucha Lumpas and then exclaimed Theyre adorable. Yeah Renee, two grown men are adorable merely because of the fact that they arent very tall. Theyre not children! Well, the rest of the announce team dove into Jerry Lawler's old standbys like This is going to be a short match! Well, lets just hope that Triple H got this out of his system. Maybe he was just trying to cheer Vince McMahon up and give him some laughs after the past few weeks of drawing 2.7 ratings?
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.
