A few weeks ago I did an article describing a direction I would have liked to have seen WWE take Jack Swagger’s character. I’ve always been a fan of his talent, but far too often he was shoehorned into terrible storylines and/or half-baked scenarios where there was little hope for success. Since that time, his current “We the People” angle has unfolded, and it, quite simply, one of the most interesting things I’ve watched on WWE television in months. I've lived on both sides of the illegal immigrant issue and see the good and bad with it all. For close to 10 years, I lived in Costa Rica as a quote/unquote "illegal". For several of those years, I worked, taking a lower wage than what I deserved, all because of Costa Rica's difficult, sometimes completely corrupt, immigration process. Was I taking a job from a Costa Rican? Yeah, I was, but a guy's gotta eat.

Like the millions (and millions) of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s fans, I was extremely pleased when I heard he was returning to the WWE a few years back. When he finally did return, on Valentine’s Day 2011, I marked out like just about everyone else watching that night. Sure, it was a kinder, gentler Rock, a tame Rock even, but the bottom line, it was Rock, standing live in the middle of a WWE ring. He cut a promo that night which dragged on well past the 20 minute mark, but I didn’t care in the least. I was just happy he was ‘back’, but somewhere along the way, Rock completely lost me, and if social media is to be believed, he lost a lot of others as well.

The news of TNA’s impending exodus from the Orlando was music to my ears. I’ve ranted and raved for the last few years on how little I’ve cared for the Impact Zone and the sterile, non-threatening environment it presents. Watching PPVs based out of the Impact Zone have been even more infuriating as it’s made TNA look small time and second rate, despite the fact that, talent for talent, they have a roster every bit as good as WWE’s. Their announcement that they’re taking the show on the road, permanently, has been a long time coming and exactly what I believe they’ve needed to do to take that next step up the ladder to becoming a legitimate #2 to the WWE juggernaut.

In a career, if you’re continually treated with disrespect, there will eventually come a time, regardless of your level or passion for the job, where you inevitably reciprocate the same level of disrespect. “Honest days work for an honest days pay” is one thing, but you and I both know, the key to truly doing a top notch job, in anything that you do, is loving it. If you don’t care, you’re only willing to go so far. Without an emotional attachment to whatever it is you’re doing, you’re always looking for the next best thing. This is true in all facets of life, be it career, relationships, personal growth, whatever. This is most certainly true with regards to WWE’s Divas Division, an area of WWE now severely lacking in star power, and WWE has no one to blame but themselves.
