Matt Hardy Critical Of Current WWE Product, WWE - Michael Sam Media, Survivor Singer Passes Away

- Matt Hardy took to his Twitter during RAW last night to give his thoughts on the current WWE product. He wrote:

"I love #WWE & respect the company. WWE gave me SO much-But it drives me crazy when they insult viewers by force-feeding them absurd stories. If pro wrestling wants to be taken seriously, it has 2 be presented as fun, yet logical, to the viewer. That goes 4 EVERY wrestling company. TV's advanced so much in terms of sophisticated storytelling. Wrestling hasn't &viewers see thru it.

"I LOVE pro wrestling. In 2014, w/ shows like Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, True Detective etc, wrestling storytelling on TV has gotta step up. i.e. Walking Dead is outrageous fiction, but consistent & has continuity within its parameters. Viewers lose themselves in the WD universe. WD stays in the parameters of it's created universe, suspending a viewer's disbelief. Wrestling should strive 2."

- WWE inviting NFL draftee Michael Sam to next week's RAW has gotten some media pub, including articles on The Huffington Post, FOX Sports and CBS Sports.

- Jimi Jamison, the lead singer of rock band Survivor, passed away this past Sunday after suffering a heart attack. While Survivor's classic hit Eye of the Tiger is best remembered for Rocky III, it is also Hulk Hogan's first entrance theme in the WWF. Jamison joined the band after the song was released. I believe that it is the first entrance theme to be used in the WWF after Vince McMahon Jr. bought the company from his father in 1982.
