Fair enough, I guess.

He did make it clear in the beginning that he really wasn't a wrestling fan anymore. That whole "retired being a fan five years ago" part.

EDIT:

But basically, it looks like my point was pretty much covered by everyone else. The main thing is that Bill Simmons rules, and he's gotta be one of if not the best sports writers out there.

That guy is so right it is not funny. No one cares about the uber-talented Eddie Guerrero or Rey Mysterio. They can put on a great Ladder Match, but as soon as we are reminded they are competing for custody of a 8-year old, it completely shatters the bounds of reality.

He gave Edge and Hardy their credit, too.

LMAO off at this:

"One of my favorite Hulk routines -- when he's "passing out" and the ref lifts his arm twice, then Hogan waves a finger up on the final time. Always fun to do with your baby if you're ever trying to determine if he is asleep. By the way, Michaels is absolutely carrying this match. No surprise, but it had to be mentioned."

I like the way he completely took a shit on John Cena, too. More evidence apart from most marks (who probably aren't socially "cool", anyway) that the guy comes off as a retarded wanna-be.

Oh, it was interesting to hear him connect Batista to Triple H without fully knowing their past together, either.

Bill Simmons is one of the funniest, most relevant columnists writing today for any site, on any topic. He's written for the Man Show, the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and helps Jimmy and Adam Corrola with a lot of their bits on Fox, Monday Night Football, and for those roasts on Comedy Central. If you read his column on a regular basis, you'd see that this guy was a HUGE wrestling fan and just lost interest because he got sick of Triple H ( he actually did a quick column on the Kaite Vick thing that was a stounding) and he started getting assignments like going to the Pats Super Bowl party for Maxim magazine. Oh yeah, and since he's a huge Boston area homer, he's become like THE guy to have on your sports talk radio show the last few years. The Sports guy has a huge following.

And, I know its hard to believe, since he's a casual fan - male age 25-35 - he is exactly the demographic the WWE is looking for. Hardocre fans do not make and break the business. You might think he's an "idiot" for being up t date on whats going on, but the vast majority of the viewing don't follow the WWE religiously, and the fact that the WWE can't keep a guy like Simmons - a sports fan, a regular guy, a guy who will do 400 word reviews on movies just for the T&A, and a former wrestling nut - entertained is exactly why they're in the hole they're in now.

Check your facts. Bill Simmons used to be a HUGE fan. He literally only stopped watching after Mania 18 (odd show watched here and there). He stopped watching due to just about every negative reason you here about today (HHH, lack of new stars, insulting your own audience, etc) And his columns are massively popular because he is the fucking man!
