Let's be real for a moment...

[#1-norm-fan]

Is there anyone still wrestling today that you genuinely feel a rooting interest for during a match. I don't mean like "I kinda wanna see this guy win the title, so I'll root for him and be happy when he wins it."

I mean, like, you actually kinda feel like a heartbroken little kid when they lose. Like... genuinely angry and pissed that he lost a match in which he was scripted to lose.

I bring this up because the Taker-HBK topic made me think about how that little bit of genuine rooting for one wrestler the way I and most others root for a sports team and how it is lost. Maybe it's my age, maybe it's WWE's inability to build a character properly but I genuinely root for Shawn Michaels to win every meaningless match he is a part of, more-so at a PPV. And HBK is the only man right now who could win a world title that would genuinely make me mark out. (And I don't mean, just enjoying the moment sitting in my chair with a smile and coming online to tell people I just "Marked out".

I had a feeling Kennedy might have been on his way to being that guy. Also, MVP before he became stale on Raw.

So... think long and hard... anyone?
