7. We thought that Hulk Hogan would be the real caretaker of wrestling long before he decided to prosper a lifestyle that embarrasses us all, and foster money making schemes at the forefront of every talent past Andre The Giant. Shame on you Hollywood Hulk...shame.
8. We also thought that pay-per-views would deliver fantastic entertainment beyond belief. In all reality we settled for less when Iron Mike Tyson delivered knockouts in the first and second rounds after we sat through scores of under-cards. We continue to settle for much less.
9. All the old-school talent has just been shipped off or ignored for their loyalties to the old ways. By the way it makes me want to throw-up to see Husky Harris (Black Jack Mulligan's grandson & Mike Rotunda's son, Barry Windham's nephew) working in The Nexus, it's just sad. And Dusty Rhodes' boys looking like overpaid fashionistas.
10. How in all that is good in the world does John Cena have the strength to look in the mirror every day when he follows all of the great entertainment that legends like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, The Andersons, Bruno Sammartino etc.
11. Okay how much of my money do you get? Let's say I take my son to the show, we sit in the nosebleed section, but I still have to pay: $50 bucks for tickets, $20 to park where my car won't be robbed, $30 bucks for a t-shirt, $50 for a toy belt, and another $30 for hotdogs, popcorn, and drinks. That's $180...for that much money I want to be entertained and not just preached to for an hour and a half by some media-starved wannabe talent, nor do I want to hear some idiot talk for thirty minutes about what he's gonna do to Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series. To add to that let me present my next complaint.
How Long Can the Politics of Compromise Continue?
Today POLITICO Arena asks:
Are Mitch McConnell’s and John Boehner’s recent statements about not compromising a refreshing bit of candor from top political leaders, rather than the usual platitudes about bipartisanship and working across the aisle?
My response:
Mitch McConnell’s comment about making Obama “a one-term president” and John Boehner’s vow that Republicans will not “compromise on their principles” if they win the majority do indeed challenge “the usual platitudes about bipartisanship and working across the aisle.” But they also reflect a deeper problem that the midterm campaigns have begun to unmask, namely, that decades of compromises have brought us to a state where further compromise is no longer tenable. Look at France. Look at Greece. Look even at England.
I allude, of course, to the “entitlement” schemes that are sinking all western democracies — others more than ours. These are giant Ponzi schemes that would be criminal if undertaken by private parties, because like all such schemes, they’re unsustainable, with late entrants left holding the bag. But unlike their private counterparts, the public versions force us all to play. Yet as the day of reckoning approaches, government has only limited choices: either reduce the promised benefits, or pay for them by taxing or borrowing more or by selling government assets (e.g., western lands), each of which has inherent limits, or by printing money, which is another way of breaking promises — and it ends ultimately in a death spiral. That’s the hard reality. Government isn’t Santa Claus.
So when Obama governs as though he has no grasp of that reality, talk of a one-term presidency is simply coming to grips with reality. And if this election is any indication, Americans appear increasingly to appreciate that. To be sure, there are issues on which to compromise. But for far too long we’ve acted as if every issue were “political,” from retirement security to healthcare to so many other “problems” that in truth are simply the problems of life. Earlier generations solved those problems privately, either by themselves or in voluntary association with others. Indeed, the freedom to do so was what the Constitution was written to secure.
But Progressives disdained that kind of freedom as illusory. They wanted us to solve our problems collectively. The New Deal institutionalized that vision, of course, turning the Constitution on its head. Thus today’s progressives think that nearly every “problem” is a political problem, to be solved collectively – utterly ignoring the evidence of the ages about such collective undertakings. Sarkozy has prevailed for the moment in France, but strikes continue to cripple the economy, and the opposition has promised to make him pay in the next election. One can hope only that American voters will take a different course and that those they elect next Tuesday will have the wisdom to know when and when not to compromise, because this cannot go on forever.
