What a crazy, awful, crime filled week in the wrestling world! Instead of talking about Sting vs. Seth Rollins, weve got Nazi symbols, domestic battery and murder as the headlines of the past seven days. Go beyond that, and were looking at Monday's Raw averaging the lowest TV ratings in the month of August since 1996. SmackDown also drew its lowest non-holiday ratings since it debuted on SyFy in 2010! Things have got to get better right? Right? Well, elsewhere in wrestling The Beautiful People reformed only nine months after breaking, which means The BroMans should be back together in a few more weeks. Braun Strowman made his in-ring debut, delivering the most awkward rookie performance since Eva Marie and JoJo Offerman tore up the canvas. And TNA is promoting a pay-per-view that was shot in February. The winner gets a TNA contract, and that winner has already left the company. This would be so, so sad if it wasnt completely expected. But lets not waste anymore time. Go find your favorite sheep mask, and let's follow the buzzards 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.
