Being a Wrestling Fan Today
I started watching wrestling back in 1984 when I was just 3 years old. Something about the way the sport was presented caught my intrest and has every since. Today at 27 I feel like that old guy in the park telling the local children stories about how things where better in my day.
I can sit at home and watch WWE 24/7 for hours and relive the classic moments that made me a fan, or I can pop in a DVD of some great classic wrestling and be taken back to a time when where Hulk Hogan was the biggest thing since sliced bread and Randy Savage was the biggest heel this side of Ric Flair. I miss those days sometimes.
I watch wrestling today and wonder what happened? When did wrestling become a drama with some action insteed of a action with some drama? Why do I care about guys fighting over shampoo (WrestleMania 18)? I guess it would have to be during the Monday Night Wars when this change happened, I just didn't notice.
Now this isn't to say I don't like wrestling today, I do. I love CM Punk, HBK, Chirs Jericho, HHH, The Undertaker, Kane, and countless others, I just wish when I watched I wouldn't end up thinking "What does this have to do with wrestling?"

now, unfortunately i haven't watched very many classic matches, so the ones today are the best thing for me. I just started watching last month, and it is pretty dramatic. Actualy its kinda funny, their scripts and all. But this has given me an aggresive EDGE so at school no one really likes wrestling, so they call me gay, what do i do? well, what any rated r super star would do, i spear 'em
