I think this blog's title is pretty clever based on when it's being written. Clever enough that it may get some people checking it out when I hashtag RAW it on Monday. But I still need to deliver a take on wrestling to avoid disappointing a those who clicked on a link to a blog that is more self-deprecating than a Colt Cabana podcast.
So, my new hours allow me to skip setting an alarm. I wake up at 1 p.m. cleaning up and prepping lunch takes me to 2 p.m., so all I really have time to watch is an episode of "Archer." Without having eight hours of mind-numbing spreadsheets to read through, I'm not getting to listen to all the podcast that I needed to get through the day. Hence this show is what has given me a take on the WWE Hall of Fame.
Can we induct Chris Benoit if we inducted him as Chris Benoit-Balls? I think that shows the WWE's shame in him while the fans of the best wrestling and those who were inspired as performers at least get the solace that he isn't forgotten. And we can all agree he was a douche the last weekend of his life because I don't think we'd attach balls to anyone who wasn't that.
Or can we differentiate the wrestler and reportedly good man for 39 years and some change from the monster he ended up becoming. Chris Benoit goes in the hall of fame. Chris Benoit-Balls gets placed in all the articles written about the man's final hours. It's kind of like Flash vs. Reverse Flash.
Personally, I think Benoit-Balls should refer to anything after the purchase of WCW in 2001, when Vince could have gone PG to begin with and limit the number of concussions that drove Benoit...Balls mad.
