AJ Lee and Paige are about to go at it for the fourth pay-per-view in a row, and there is still no stipulation added to the match to spice things up. The Usos vs. Gold and Stardust has been done nearly 20 times in some form or another since the beginning of September. Big Show and Rusev are about to battle for the third time in the past month. Miz and Sheamus have fought three times on TV this month too in one-on-one matches. Cesaro vs. Ziggler was given to us two times for free just this past week! Now we gotta pay for all of this? And John Cena vs. Orton? Is there any match in WWE right now that represents the overall boredom with the current product more than that? Its like WWE is daring us to change the channel. I mean, if they fought in a plane ride from hell match, or perhaps a pink slip on a pole match I might be interested, but another cell match in the PG era? WWE creative seems to have given up on their jobs. Is it really that hard to give us something we've never seen before? How about Randy Orton vs. Sami Zayn, or John Cena vs. Scott Steiner? Or Billy Kidman vs. The Yeti? Any of those matches would be more exciting than Cena vs. Orton. Seeing Matlock win a court case, The Big Bang Theory make a joke about nerds, or Scooby Doo getting some villain unmasked would be fresher than Orton vs. Cena.
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.
