No Holds Barred: Mr. America vs Roman The Shockmaster

The original title of this blog was suppose to be "Why Mr. America Should Have Starred in No Holds Barred." It wasn't my wittiest blog title, but it allowed me to jump right into the subject matter instead of transitioning from a rant about how the readers need to demand local promotions (from Minneapolis/St. Paul to Paducah, from St. Louis (Illinois Side to Cleveland) start booking me because that's the only thing which will motivate me to hit the gym and get into better shape.

I've never liked salad, and I'm not going to start.

Sorry for the minimal rant, but it could have been a lot worse, like three story-line terminations bad. Eric Rowan isn't established enough to be taken off TV and now Ryback's push won't end with him doing the favor for Alexander Rusev.

With an inability to know who to protect and who to direct towards Japan to understand true strong-style, it's no wonder that they cannot build there next superstar. Maybe it's because they're out to create the next super hero for the kids. Why else would they keep Roman Reigns in a SWAT team outfit instead of wrestling gear? If John Cena cannot be sold to the yuppie guppies in tights, why make their other guys wear them? And why must WWE make it apparent that Dean Ambrose has peaked? Did Vince McMahon want to tease the IWC by not letting him return to Lycra?

So why am I suggesting that Hulk Hogan have dawned the pseudo-Steve Rogers cowl if the last thing we need is a Super Hero? Because full-blown heroes are over. And could you have imagined the pop the Hulkster could have gotten with that gimmick if he had already established it?
