WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Nov 6)

by Andrew Soucek

1. Glowing Orton

I can’t get into the entire Raw vs. SmackDown feud for two reasons. Reason one: Raw is incredibly boring. Reason two: SmackDown is really dumb. Do I cheer for boring to beat dumb or dumb to beat boring?

Maybe I’m just born this way, but you could have given me a 5-star, hour long A.J. Styles/Dean Ambrose Iron man match on this week’s SmackDown, and I would have just said “yeah...but Randy Orton had glowing eyes on that same episode.” That would have been the main thing I remembered.

Bray Wyatt was one of the best things going in WWE the first year or so he was on the roster, now, he could go away for the next year and I think I’d be fine. Every angle he’s in now is increasingly stupid, and it’s a vortex that makes everyone worse off for being around. It makes the announcers look like idiots trying to explain it, and every wrestler who appears on the same show as them look lamer as well.

Don’t blame Bray, blame WWE creative for having him disappear in a box, causing Orton’s face to morph in a mirror and giving him dumb spooky eyes.

It was a bad Halloween week in WWE, and they made me feel like a James Ellis for sitting through it all.

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. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
