No one but The Rock could have saved Raw on Monday night. That show was warmed over garbage, and he briefly fanned away the stink. His appearance was also perhaps the most surprising moment of the year. It was great to see him, and even better that WWE hadnt advertised it in advance. It kind of keeps you on your toes knowing anyone can show up like that. Now, with that being said, does The Rock not watch WWE TV? Does he not care that Stephanie McMahon and Triple H have made life a living hell for Daniel Bryan, Brie Bella, The Big Show, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and countless more? I guess not, as he eagerly gave them both a hug on SmackDown and then went to dinner with them. Good thing he didnt actually watch SmackDown, the show he appeared on via video, as Stephanie sent Kane to beat up Adam Rose, who then proceeded to beat up a dozen random people for no reason. Their blood is on your hands Rock! Sure, Rock and Hunter going face to face with either one refusing to back away was kind of funny, but Rock shouldnt be joking around with them at all. He should have went in, given them both a Rock Bottom, then ran from one end of the room to the other and dropped The Peoples Elbow. Sure, bouncing off a wall instead of the ring ropes would be awkward and painful, but the two clearly deserve it. In what possible way can he justify to the fans that he likes to have friendly dinners with the two most evil people in the wrestling world? I never saw Bobo Brazil and The Shiek hug it out! Rock is now clearly a heel. Next time we must boo him!
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.
