Is it just me or has Wrestling just got a bit dull (even with Raw/Smackdown shaking things up for the last few weeks), all the same faces, all the same storylines, just with different opponents! I think Raw/Smackdown are better than they were about 3/4 months ago, but if the PG rating does water down the product anymore i can seriously see me leaving wrestling behind, i did it before.
My first phase of being a wrestling fan was from the age of about 5(1985) until i was 13 (1993), i had spent the first few years watching big daddy on itv, and then when my local rental store started getting in WWF tapes i got hooked! WrestleMania 9 was probably the last thing i watched until Royal Rumble 2000.
Thats right 7 years it took for Vince to regain my attention, this was just after the peak of the wrestling boom, i can tell you that because i had WWE Heat on Channel 4 and WCW Worldwide on Channel 5 not since the early nineties had i been able to watch wrestling at home on tv.
Now of course Sky has ALL the WWE shows, Setanta has all the UFC and Bravo shows TNA, Not forgetting that we have our own wrestling channel(although its become more MMA based). So with all this product on show why do i feel like i want to watch something else? Maybe its because I'm 28 now and heading into maturity - finally. Maybe it's because wrestling has got a bit shit.
I love wrestling, although those early years and first few months of 2000 were the best (i still thought it was real), but the complexities of what goes on backstage and how it all happens kept me from leaving.
Now it's been over a month since my last blog, i don't know if i have the patience to go on with it to be truthful.
We shall have to see what happens next week i guess.
