Last week I complained (imagine that!) about Alicia Fox and AJ Lee fighting five times within one month on TV. I sadly must make that same complaint again, and while its not as egregious, its still no good. For the fifth time since April, Rusev and Zack Ryder have gone one-on-one in matches on Raw. Not SmackDown, not Main Event, not by the dumpster outside of Wendys. They only fight on Raw. The result? The same thing every single time. Ryder loses in about a minute. Within the context of WWEs world, who keeps booking that match? And why? We have a serious jobber crisis in WWE when the same guy has to go after Rusev time and time again without any explanation. Its just booked, it happens, its forgotten, and then it happens again the next month. Cant Otunga fill in just once? Wheres he been? What kind of world do we live in when I want to see David Otunga vs. Rusev? These unnecessary rematches theoretically would be a nice time to take a bathroom break. But since Raw already gives us 45 minutes of commercials, and half-a-dozen other meaningless rematches, nearly the whole show could be spent in the bathroom.
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.
