Casual fan now, used be be more a long time ago.  My first live event was in the Watertown, NY high school gym.  Main event was Randy Savage against Harley Race.  I already knew how the matches were going to end, because they had been in Syracuse the night before, and the results were in the paper the next morning.  

My first event was June 2nd 1987 at the Aud. It was a TV taping where Honkey Tonk Man beat Ricky Steamboat for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Killer Kahn sprayed the Hogan in the face with the green mist during Jake's Snake Pit. I was young,  and didn't think Hogan would be able to wrestle in the main event,  but somehow he still, miraculously, was able to team with Koko B Ware in the Main Event to take on Kamala and the Honkey Tonk Man.

Forever a part of WNY Sports history!

So you must answer all those web ads of "hot singles/milf's/grandmothers in your area want to meet you"?

Technically it’s not fake, it’s scripted. The athleticism is real. Just like tv, movies, and plays. You could even say sports like ice dancing and gymnastics are scripted, as they’re repeating scripted routines they have practiced.

I watched the rumble itself.  It was mildly entertaining.  Better than the past 2 that I watched IMO... I usually watch the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania for the most part

But man, so many of these "star" wrestlers seem so miscellaneous and look the same.  It is hard for a "casual" fan to know the difference between any of them.  
Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Damien Priest, AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Uso, etc

They all seem like pieces of the same guy.  Its hard to even differentiate between one or the other at times.  They are all pretty... boring.

I really miss the days that each wrestler had their own look, gimmick, and the royal rumble was super fun putting them on display and getting them to play off each other in the ring at the same time.  Logan Paul is the best thing going and was the most fun part. 

Cena looked super slow and I knew there was no way they can have that headline Wrestlemania.


I do like the fact that they featured a surprise winner.

Watched elimination chamber... or much of it.  

 

I thought it was very decent.  Girls match was excellent, men's was pretty blah until the end... which was awesome.  

KO vs zayn was good too and the return of randy orton.
