Anyone still watch wresting? I haven't in years but my son took an interest to it during the lockdown earlier in the year and now I am getting back into it.

Sting showed up on AEW last night, made me feel like I was watching it 20 years ago.

We signed up for the WWE Network, great watching some classics with the kids without having the social injustice douches in your face.

Don't care if it's Sports Entertainment, it's pretty enjoable.

And who would have though that Bray Wyatt, The Fiend, is Mike Rotunda's son! Irwin R. Schyster!

I used to train at a gym that had a bunch of wrestlers in it and it was owned by 2 actually. I haven't watched it in years. Used to watch it as a kid but never picked it back up.

Shit, back in the 80's I would watch it on Saturday mornings with my great grandfather and he would let me swig his blackberry brandy.
My 90-year-old grandmother had a framed picture of Hulk Hogan on her living room wall along with her family.

Pretty cool to have seen André in person. They say he literally had to shit in the bathtub in hotels and wash it down because he couldn’t fit on a toilet.

My father in his infinite wisdom though closer was better so we had floor seats for the match. Standing on a chair maybe 20 -30 rows back I could still see Andre in the ring and walk down the aisle.
