Arm wrestling, a contract signing and so...much...list.

Every year I care less and less about Hell in a Cell, and it pains me to say that. Not long ago, one could fairly easily list off every cell match. But now, we're filled with so many of them that didn't need to be settled inside of the steel structure, that the matches just don't seem to matter any more.

I'm not a bloodthirsty monster, but when you can't bleed in the match, or when the participants aren't beat up to the point that they have to miss a single night of work, then the entire concept is flawed. What is there to get worked up about when the danger is taken away?

All six wrestlers who are competing in the three cell matches at the pay-per-view will likely appear on Raw on Monday, and be no worse for wear. Kevin Owens has better odds of appearing in a skit with The Boogeyman on Halloween night than he does being in a kayfabe hospital bed. He or Rollins may remember to limp to the ring, but that's likely as much as we'll get in terms of sustained punishment.

Well, Raw was brutal, SmackDown was fine and Impact was mildly fun with their Treat or Delete nonsense. That pretty much sums things up in wrestling right now. But let's not waste anymore time. Go grab the nearest table, and let's arm wrestle our way through WWE and TNA's worst of the week!

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
