WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (April 19th)
7. Natalya Is Slightly Delusional
On the television program Total Divas, (which I recommend should not be watched by anyone, ever, under any circumstances) Natalya was booked for the supposedly prestigious opportunity to fight for the Divas title at the TLC. She said that if WrestleMania was the Academy Awards, then TLC was the Golden Globes. That sounds like a fair comparison, because wait...what? Has she ever watched TLC? Is she familiar with the event? First off, theres only been five of them ever. Thats not even half as many as No Way Out! Cmon Nattie, you were born in to wrestling royalty. Jim Neidhart must at least be the court jester of the Hart Family. She should know that Survivor Series, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble have all been around a lot longer and are more prestigious than a pay-per-view called Tables, Ladders, and Chairs! Natalya also said her shot at AJ's Diva Title (which she had to know she was going to lose) a once in a lifetime opportunity. Did she forget that she's already held the title? That means it's at least twice in a lifetime. And just to further point out the ridiculousness of her statement (which is what we do for fun here at worst of the week), last years show did 181,000 buys. The year before did 170,000. That's not the Golden Globes. That's not even the Teen Choice Awards. That's like comparing The Oscars to just buying a bowling trophy at a local garage sale and giving it to yourself.
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.
