So as a 41 year old dude, I've seen wrestling change from Gordon Solie interviewing Wildfire Tommy Rich in front of a plywood lectern to Total Divas and Adam Rose. Yeah, I still love wrestling BUT I'm starting to realize that I'm slipping past the target age demo and frankly, some of this shit I don't get and don't care to. So....with that said, fellow grumpy old bastards, what current trends or angles in wrestling don't you like or get MAINLY because you're old and pine for the old days.

The Challenge premiered on Wednesday. The highlight being CT rocking the boat, via trying to throw Johnny Bananas into the first elimination challenge - only to get GOT by TJ, and his bag o' swerves. Girls vote guys into elimination and guys vote the girls in. CT, after that original brilliant plan (made even better when combined with Johnny's 4th Wall breaking "dude, that's not how these things are supposed to be booked" shocked interview reaction) was then followed-up with by an even more brilliant plan: Piss Diem, and by extension all of the women, off by trying to hook up with a rookie girl. A rookie who will likely be gone by next week's airing. Hopefully this means CT is back on the drugs, because his decision-making skills are terrrible. Poor Wes. Otherwise, Laguna Beach/The Hills are currently airing every morning on MTv. Leading up to the premier of *Finkel* a NEEEEEEEEEEEEW ending to The Hills on August 9th at 11:30AM EST (yes, Friday morning - what a world). My wife forwarded me a link that made my morning yesterday - a 'Where Are They Now' flip-book of the Laguna cast. I promptly lost an hour of my life immediately thereafter. http://photos.toofab.com/galleries/laguna_beach_cast__then__now#tab=now_then&id=1178363 My favorite part (short of the surprise of Jason and Talan switching lives/addiction, and the personal trainer) are Dieter and Trey. Trey especially. The two guys who were so big on causes and 'saving the world' are now corporate sell-outs. Love it. The world needs to follow more rich kids whose childhood dreams don't come true.
