In the sea of idiocy known as WWE storytelling, there's plenty of things you can pick on for not making any sense or just being an assault to your brain. This entry is more of a nit pick, but it still annoys me, so it makes the list! On the last two pay-per-views, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and JBL all had Diet Mountain Dews in front of them. All of the bottles were conveniently turned toward the camera so you could see the label. Lawler had the cap off the whole time while JBL's and Cole's remained sealed. Okay, fair enough, Mountain Dew just wanted to do some product placement. But wouldn't they rather make it appear that people want to drink their beverages? Well, late into the show the cameras cut back to Lawler and JBL who were suddenly and mysteriously drinking some soda. They had plenty of chances to do that during pre-tapes and what not, but they needed to do it on air. JBL then told Cole to try some and Cole remarked he'd already had a bottle and that the other two needed to catch up. No Cole! No you didn't! That bottle was sealed the whole night. Unless he chugged it during a match then he's a damn liar. Jim Ross would never lie about drinking a bottle of anything. How are we supposed to believe in anything anymore if the main announcer can't even tell the truth about drinking a soda!
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.
