Mother of God. Sometimes at Worst of the Week, there are no words. Its just hard to know what was going through someone's mind when they pitched JBL, Mark Henry and El Torito arguing over what to have for dinner, going inside of Marks brain to see a hybrid JBL-Torito dancing with a cowboy hat on, and then finding out it was all for a hamburger at Hardees. It doesnt just make you wonder how the person who came up with that segment has a job on a national television show, but it makes you wonder how theyve made it this far in life at all. I simply cant wrap my head around how Vince McMahon made it in business with such a stupid sense of humor and taste in entertainment. He doesnt seem qualified to run a lemonade stand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGbr0KVmnNg As a longtime wrestling fan, I cant let go of the death of WCW. It sticks with me, and for some inexplicable reason it makes me upset that their incompetence ran them out of business while WWEs incompetence nets them millions of dollars in profit every year. Sure, there was A LOT of garbage near the end in WCW, and it was sad to watch in the last couple years, but during that time there was absolutely nothing as overwhelmingly god awfully stupid as a dream sequence with a short person in a bull costume promoting a hamburger. Nothing. Time to kick out.
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.
