1. How To Ruin A Shield Reunion
WWE gave us one hour to prepare for a Shield reunion. This was not saved for pay-per-view, or promoted weeks ahead of time. Because something like that might actually get people excited. What a bizarre and random decision to put them back together without any hype. This should have been saved a couple years from now, and built up as a momentous occasion. The Shield tagging together was one of the very last tools WWE had left to pop a rating for a night. Now its gone. They have to start all over to make another reunion mean something. Its just baffling with the ratings being so low that Vince cant promote something even one Raw in advance. In NXT, they're promoting Apollo Crews vs. Finn Balor weeks in advance! But Vince just throws things out there, because hes like a toddler who can either eat one marshmallow right this very second, or wait five minutes and get two. That is not a good way to run a company. Give us multiple marshmallows Vince! Believe in The Shield, and believe in bad booking. 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.
