The Menagerie continues to be one of the worst things going in TNA. For a company that has two competing heel authority figures, a knock-off world champion, a wrestler who is stuck in a mental institution, and Bobby Lashley awkwardly wearing a baseball hat, thats quite the statement. This week in a backstage segment we uncovered the startling revelation that Robbie E is afraid of clowns. Of course this quickly came into play during an in-ring segment where Robbie came face to face with his fear. Things quickly devolved into Zema Ion blasting his horn from his computer while Crazy Steve made Robbies life a living hell as he honked a bicycle horn repeatedly. Just like in WWE, Tazz and Tenay were having the time of their lives over this mess. In perhaps related news, TNA drew a .84 rating this week, which was the lowest in seven months. Perhaps the circus really isnt that much fun.
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.
