I stopped watching wrestling full-time when I was 20 which was in 2003. It was right after Hogan and Piper were fired. They were the last two men that kept me interesting in wrestling. I was bored as it was with the product. As soon as they were canned, I semi-retired as a wrestling fan. I started watching it when I was very young. I don't even recall my age. I had been watching it for as long as I could remember...so let's say I watched it since I was a baby and I stopped when I was 20....so after 20 years, wrestling became too silly, boring and predictable to me.

Also, because I am an adult now most of the wrestlers they have today are in my age group and I can't mark out for them the same way I used to (and still do) mark out for the older wrestlers because when I see the young guys, I see my peers. I could have gone to high school with those guys. I'm not gonna buy their shirts and put posters of them up on the wall...because that'd be a little...well...gay.

But because I'm 24, I still view the older guys like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jerry Lawler, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, etc, etc....as men..the type of men I'd call "Sir" if I met them...because they are all old enough to be my Father. Not guys I could have gone to school with. So therefore I still view the older wrestlers as adults and as heroes...and as larger then life wrestlers.....they bring out the inner-child in me....because I've been watching them since I was a kid....which is why I am only a mark for the WWE legends and pretty much only watch any of today's WWE wrestling if I read that an older wrestler is going to be there. Like tonight, I'm gonna watch Saturday Night Main Event because I read Goldust is going to be on there.

I also get my wrestling fix from the nostalgia DVD's the WWE produces that are all about different wrestlers from my youth, as well as older wrestler's books, old-school wrestling matches and promos...and that's for nostalgia only. Nostalgia is the last thing that keeps me interested in wrestling.

I have 0 interest in today's wresting's or it's wrestlers....and it sucks because these old lions can't keep wrestling forever....they're a dying breed...so I don't know what I'll do when they all retire. Probably become a full-time old-school wrestling fan most likely. But that's a long time from now...Undertaker, HBK, Goldust and any wrestler in his 40's still has a lot left in them as long as the injury bug or death bug doesn't bite em'.
