5. All About The Game
Sting vs. Seth Rollins should feel like a big match. This is going to be Stings second match ever in a WWE ring, and its truly something weve never seen before, and probably never see again. But both men are preoccupied with someone else. A man that only wrestles between one and three times a year. Their boss, The Game, HHH. Why cant Sting just come back and want to shut Seth up and take his title? Why is he kissing Hunters butt cheeks? Apparently The Stingers memory is terrible, because on Raw he kept going on and on about how much he respects Hunter...despite the fact that he tried to murder him with a sledgehammer at WrestleMania. As of yet, Seth has never tried to kill Sting, so shouldnt he respect him a little more? Even if this is just a case of mind games, the COO doesnt need to be involved in this story at all. It just gets makes things muddled. As long as The Authority has been around, there has been way too much inner-turmoil. The bickering between them never ends. It just cant be a plain one-on-one storyline, and it drags everything down. Once again, Steph and Hunter are out to get Seth, who they constantly treat like a child, and it makes him seem more sympathetic. He has to fight Cena and Sting in the same night? How is that fair? And why did Steph act like she didnt have a choice? Since when can a wrestler declare the exact date of their rematch? Stephanie also agreed that Seth Rollins isnt half the man her husband is. What an awful way to build up the top heel in the company, by claiming that someone whose prime was in 2000 is better than the champion. No wonder the ratings stink, because were constantly being told that the best days were years ago. But hey, it strokes HHHs ego, so thats best for business right?

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.
