If youre abducted by a bearded hillbilly in real life, you can only hope that your captor is as ineffective as Bray Wyatt or TNAs version of the act, James Storm. Wyatt couldnt get smuggle his victims out of a parking lot, and Storm actually gave his captors new outfits. Where can I sign up? When composing a stable, part of the success is based on the overall look. Each members outfit should compliment the others to give the appearance of unity. NWO members rocked their black and white shirts, The Shield wore flak jackets, and The Wyatt Family look like they got their clothes from a dumpster. Storm, The Great Sanada, and now Manik have a fashion problem. Their clothes dont match the gimmick. Sanadas blue and gold face paint is way too cartoonish looking for a dark character, and Manik sadly looks even more ridiculous than his Suicide skeleton costume. If TNA is going to knock-off a WWE act, then at least put in the effort to not make it visually clash.The next person that Storm abducts will hopefully have a part-time job at the Goodwill and get them a discount on some new threads.
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.
