Ramblings From the Mind of a Wrestling Fan

I am 24 years old.

I watch professional wrestling.ย 

I know wrestling is fake.ย 

I also know the pain is real.ย 

I remember when Mick Foley fell 15 feet from the top of a cage.ย 

I know not everyone can talk on the stick.ย 

I think itโ€™s more important to tell a story in the ring anyway.

I loved when Hulk passed the torch.ย 

I canโ€™t believe the Warrior dropped the ball.ย 

I watched the first season of Tough Enough.ย 

I remember when Tag Team wrestling meant something in the WWE.ย 

I can smell what the Rock is cooking.ย 

I remember when Vince McMahon was a baby-faced announcer.ย 

I used to love when Jake brought Damien into the ring.ย 

I donโ€™t think the Boogeyman was ever intimidating.ย 

I loved the 1-2-3 Kid.ย 

I think Goldust was one of the best at physiological warfare.ย 

I remember when everyone had a storyline.ย 

I remember when Mark Henry became the proud father of a human hand.ย 

I think Chris Benoit is a monster.ย 

I also think the man is a hell of a wrestler.ย 

I donโ€™t think there will ever be another stable like the Four Horsemen.ย 

I remember the Shock Master.ย 

I remember when Triple H jobbed to Duke the Dumpster Droese.ย 

I once looked up Austin 3:16 in the Bible.ย 

I will never forget Owenโ€™s last match.ย 

I once tried to do โ€œThe Worm.โ€

I failed.ย 

I donโ€™t like John Cena.ย 

I have nothing but respect for him, though.ย 

I remember when Hogan turned heel.ย 

I think Shane McMahon is one of the more underrated performers in wrestling.ย 

I remember when matches lasted longer than one minute.ย 

I want to see a Too Cool Reunion.ย 

I think the Nexus and the Core are too similar to the NWO.ย 

I want HBK to stay retired.ย 

I think Vince Russo needs to go away forever.ย 

I love the Raw vs. Smackdown video game franchise.ย 

I would still rather play No Mercy on my N64.

I get sad when I see that roster and realize how many wrestlers have passed away.ย 

I miss Eddie.ย 

I think some of you may have enjoyed this article.ย 

I know most of you didnโ€™t.ย 

Iโ€™m okay with that.
