Monday night raw Buffalo

[May Day 10]

I went through a stretch in college or so for about 3-5 years that I watched a lot/followed WWF.  It was probably during the most prime years (about 1999-2002-2003).  It was great entertainment.   It is/was fake, but man those guys took risks and put their health on the line.  Many wrestlers died young or are disabled to some degree.  That isn't fake.

ECW was also ridiculous fun to watch late night on Empire Sports Network in the mid 90s.

 

It got super repetitive and predictable though and I got bucked off.  I have tried to watch it a few times in recent years, but I just can't.  It is very bland, very stretched out, they play it very safe, etc.  I think my 10 year old kid may get exposed to it soon, we will see if he drags me into it for a stretch.  

 

I went to an indy promotion in the fall at riverworks.  That was really awesome.  Its cheesy, sleazy, and all that... but that is what is great about it.  Go with friends, pound beers, get into it.... and its a riot.  I have a friend who is a pro wrestler on Canadian circuits and he does amazing stuff.

You ever watch Dark Side of the Ring. They are episodes of wrestlers that show their rise and eventually decline in the business. Those are some pretty interesting shows.

I grew up a huge wrestling fan during the 90s heyday(ok so 93-95ish was actually pretty bad but as a kid I didn't know any better) but eventually grew out of it.  But it was always one of those things I like from a Nostalgia standpoint.  I don't follow it now but would occasionally go to the live shows in my 20s with friends who were also "wrestling guys".  I haven't been to Raw in probably over a decade but thinking it would be fun to take my nephews now when they get a little older.  Were there any Bills players in attendance?  

In a box I believe … not down on the floor

 

Knox would be great for a ring size spot
