5. Bragtober
Nothing in WWE is more nauseating than their continued bragging about their charitable deeds. Its hard to stomach Stephanie McMahon constantly taking center stage, and putting on her caring face for the cause of the month. Yes, of course, charity is a great thing to do, but make a brief announcement, ask fans to donate, and move on. Anything more than that looks self-serving. WWE makes their consistent talk of their charitable deeds an art form, which erases a lot of the goodwill. The Susan G. Komen partnership has returned (much to the chagrin of CM Punk), and it kind of takes over the show, and not in a good way, since it goes beyond supporting donations and intrudes with the narrative. This week Seth Rollins was wearing a rise above cancer shirt. But...but...how can I hate the man that hates cancer? I mean, the Game of Thrones showrunners probably think cancer sucks too, but they dont put Ramsay Bolton in a pink cape. Well, if WWE doesnt care about bad guys supporting good causes, then why not just dress Braun Strowman in pink pants? Go all in! Maybe have Bray Wyatt cut a promo on cancer. The only thing to be thankful for is that we didnt see Kathie Lee Gifford have a bottle broken over her ass. Yet.

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.
