Raw and SmackDown this week gave us one final push towards Hell in a Cell. Did WWE use their time wisely? No. Absolutely not. The World Heavyweight Title is on the line at the pay-per-view, and they didnt even have Kane show up on Monday to promote the match. Maybe he had personal reasons for not making the show, which is understandable, but then why didnt they try to hype the match on SmackDown? Well, Kane and Rollins started everybodys favorite B-wrestling show by going face-to-face. Kane had a little surprise for The Architect, though, a mystery opponent if you will. Meh, it was Cesaro. Hey, the Swiss Superman is a great wrestler, but thats the best the DOO could come up with? If he had power for the night, why didnt he book the entire roster to fight Rollins to soften him up for Sunday? Cesaro isnt exactly punishment, since he loses 75% of the time anyway. That showdown between Kane and Rollins ended up being the last one of the night. No words from Kane on what a title reign would mean to him, because were still pretending that Corporate Kane and Demon Kane are two different people. It kind of sucks when the WWE title is defended in a comedy feud. Couldnt we bring back the Hardcore Title for that?
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.
