I, like most of you, have been a fan for most of my life. I've lived through and watched every "era" of WWF/E. The storylines and rivalries were always well done with the occasional stinkers and wtf were they thinking moments. How do you not love when youre watching and out of nowhere the Undertakers intro comes on and in comes the Deadman. As for the earlier rain on your parade poster. If you had wrestled since 1984 I guarantee you, you would move like your 100 also. Undertaker has done so much damage to his body for our entertainment. He's had both eye sockets crushed torn biceps, torn triceps, torn pecs both hips essentially replaced not to mention the 20 something orthopedic surgeries he's had. So maybe just maybe cut the legend a little slack on not being as mobile as he used to be. These guys put their health and lives to some extent on the line for all of us. The wife and I joke about wrestler ages and compare it to talking about how old a dog is in human years. He may be 53 in real time but in wrestler years he's somewhere around 75 - 80.
Having watched wrestling for as long as I have it's hard for them to come up with gimmicks that make me say didn't see that coming. They have but it's rare at this point. I enjoy when they get a storyline / rivalry going and everything works just right. The mic work is on point and then they really sell it in the ring like the good OLD days. I'll stop here cuz I keep wanting to voice my dislikes but this isn't the thread for that lol.
