I'm not actively trying to target Hunter Hearst Helmsley, but this now makes three weeks in a row where he has made Worst of the Week. I can't help it! The man just irks me to no end. His offense this week? Sting. Sting is in WWE for the first time in his career. It's awesome to finally see him in the ring, but his first target is (takes a deep breath and sighs) Triple H. One might argue that there aren't many good choices, but that's solely the fault of WWE for not building up anyone else interesting for Sting to fight over the past 13 years! Imagine had Bray Wyatt not cooled down so much, or if Antonio Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler hadn't been jobbing left and right the past few years. Without Undertaker, I guess Hunter makes sense, but it's just all so convenient. Punk becomes the hottest wrestler on the planet? Hunter jumps in and takes him on. Undertakers Streak becomes huge after the HBK matches? Hunter gets him twice (or three times if you will). Daniel Bryan becomes the talk of the wrestling world? Hunter gets him at WrestleMania. Brock comes in to work an extreme part time scheule? The COO gets him three times. Sting comes in? The Game gets him first. Everyone else get in line. It doesn't matter that Hunter has only worked 14 televised matches since 2011, he gets what he wants, everyone else bow down and wait until The King is done. Now speaking of Sting...
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.
