WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (April 13)

4. Legends Become Children

If Vince McMahon ever asks you to join his Hall of Fame, politely decline. Because the moment you accept the invitation and slide on that ring, you will magically be turned into a child. Santino must actually own one already. For years, we've watched it happen. It all seemed to start around WrestleMania 17 with the gimmick battle royal. No longer were we supposed to honor the old-timers. We were meant to laugh at them. It's not just guys with ridiculous gimmicks like Hacksaw Jim Duggan (who always seemed to have a couple of screws loose anyway) that were ripe for mocking. After all, the man spent time in WCW as a janitor and as an American traitor. Any time served in that company probably wasn't good for anyone's health. Then, the plague of the childlike legends began to spread. At WrestleMania we got a "comedy" skit that involved Duggan and Sgt. Slaughter (two hall of famers) playing with mini-action figures, while evil referee Danny Davis made the count. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat (hall of famer) then jumped into the scene decked out in a karate outfit and screamed for absolutely no reason. This is just what he does in his free time apparently. Million Dollar Man, one of the biggest stars of the 80s then came in enjoyed a good laugh as he ruined the fun and bought all the toys. Farooq (hall of famer) then said "damn!" Beware 2014 Hall of Fame inductees. At next years' WrestleMania, we'll probably watch Jake Roberts put a fake snake down Razor Ramon's pants, while Lita walks around revealing the top of her thong, which distracts Carlos Colon, who slips and falls into Mr. T who was on the phone with Brodus Clay's mom, Jim Duggan then runs in and hits himself in the head with a 2 x 4, and Farooq yells "Damn!" There WWE, I just saved you 30 seconds worth of writing next year's legend skit. Now give me my money!

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
