Because of other commitments, I was unable to watch last night’s Monday Night Raw, even though our captain served as the special guest host.
I’m glad to see the highlight of his performance has already hit the YouTube:
No joke, Has Been is a great album. Maybe an album of WWFE entrance themes could be just as great. But only if he hit up some of the classics, like Real American, Jive Soul Bro or I’m Just a Honky Tonk Man.
