Recently
wrestling has been talked about after the outrage of fans on social
media regarding the 2015 Royal Rumble pay-per-view with their
#CancelWWENetwork. People were mad about the way the actual rumble
progressed and especially mad at the winner.
In these interviews and
talk shows that I've been listening to that normally never talk about
wrestling they give the same statements that have been said for
decades now and just make me roll my eyes. Let me give a little
background on my connection with wrestling. This won't take long.
I have
been watching wrestling for 32 years now. I was born at the end of
the 70's so I was fed a steady diet of WWF, NWA, WCW, AAA, and
somehow was able to watch stuff from the South and Texas. My favorite
wrestlers were Macho Man Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, Rick
Rude, Legion of Doom, and The Great Mutoh. At one point I watched 8
hours of wrestling a week which has now become about 15 minutes a
week in highlights. I wrote columns for Tha O Show for six years and
even got to be on shows with guys like Hulk Hogan, Iron Sheik, Ricky
Johnson (The Rock's uncle), and Booker T. even though I couldn't talk
to them. Its awesome to be able to listen to a show and know I am
listed with them. Currently my favorite wrestling programs are PWG
and NXT.
