Wrestler Wrankings™: 2014-15 Season, Week 9

The Earth is a pebble, spinning pointlessly on a crooked axis around a ball of fire that is only one of billions of indistinguishable infernos that swirl on the flat sewerhole cover of rubble and dust that is our universe.

Flat, that is, until it reaches a critical mass and begins to contract. This celestial deflation will continue, without fail, until everything is compressed into such an infinitesimal state that not only is there no room for the concept of distance, but time itself also ceases to be. Everyone you've ever known and anything that has ever existed will be reduced to utterly nothing and will never again endure.

Luckily, this supremely smashed condition will only last for as long as it takes for what's left of all matter that has ever been to explode in a catastrophe the likes of which we can't possibly imagine.

Oh, and if you're a fan of reading these Wrestler Wrankings columns every week... I'm afraid I've got some bad news. I'm going to be on vacation for the the rest of June. In the meantime, some decorum please!
