Love hearing how TK got your love for wrestling going again.
Well first we have to go all the way back to March 26 2001 when a much younger me was watching what would be (unknown to me) the last episode of Nitro ever. Shane did his thing. Vince did his thing. We all know the story. This was pre-internet for me so I didn't know what just happened. I remember asking my Dad (who has no interest in wrestling at all) what just happened. He didn't know either. I remember checking the next weeks tv guide. Nothing. So the next thing I know I'm watching Raw and all my favorite wrestlers were there...and they were all losing to the WWE stars....
Eventually I got tired of the s***y booking and the general atmosphere of the WWE product and left wrestling forever.
Or so it would seem....
Skip forward to the start of 2019. I'm in Florida. And in the local news I spot an article about a new wrestling promotion starting up. And Christ Jericho is involved. And the son of the son of a plumber is involved. And there's a press conference happening up the street in Jacksonville. So naturally I'm a little curious to what's happening.
Skip Forward again to Double Or Nothing 2019. And I'm seeing Tommy Dreamer in the ring. Taking these BRUTAL kicks from the character from the movie Drive. And then his getting his head rammed into the a$$ of the most flamboyant looking wrestler I think I've ever seen... and I am entertained. I haven't been this entertained since I was watching Nitro every week...
Then I see Cody and Dustin go at it. And that was it. That was the moment where I was sold on AEW. And since then I've been hooked.
and congratulations for making it to the end.
