3. Bull Fit!
What in the hell was that? Not since the mid-80s has WWE done something so slapstick and corny as what they did with Bull Dempsey on NXT. The man who was so desperate to eat candy that he was about to break open a vending machine with a chair has suddenly changed his ways. Hes tired of being fat, and is set to get Bull fit! Get it? Because it sounds like bulls**t? Kind of like how Rosey was the Super Hero in Training, and Pretty Mean Sisters were PMS and there was a tag team called The Dicks? Hilarious! Sure, they intentionally went with a weird vibe on that training video, but that doesnt mean it wasnt still bad. Because pointing out a dude is a fat slob is not a good gimmick. Didnt get Playboy Buddy Rose over, didnt get Vader over, wont get Bull over. The once promising old-school monster type character is now a sad, overweight schmuck trying to get his act together. Hope the joke is good enough for someone backstage to justify damaging the long term potential of a career.

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.
