5 Reasons it doesn't matter that Shayna Baszler didn't win the WWE Royal Rumble

OK, this is about to get personal. But not angry. In fact, it's very positive!.

Look. I get it. We invest our time into the stories the entertainment industry - not just WWE - is telling. And, when that story makes a turn we don't like, we get upset.

I don't mean that condescendingly, either. It's not just our hard-earned money we spend to find out where these stories go. Our personal time is also important (I'm a dad, I know how much of a premium personal time can be at). We only have so much time and attention, and we can use it to focus so many things.

A story we invest our attention to may not end the way we want it to, but if it doesn't end in a way that makes sense compared to the rest of the story, that's infuriating. Game of Thrones fans, I hear you.

Over the years, pro wrestling has helped me in a lot of ways. It's helped me appreciate different ways to tell a story. It's helped me appreciate taking better care of my physical well being. It's helped me meet some amazing people and make some lifelong friends. I wouldn't be a professional writer now if it weren't for this industry.

You wouldn't be reading this right now if pro wrestling hadn't come into my life and, no joke, made it better.

So... that being said...

It's pro wrestling, guys. Settle down.
