Watching as a fan vs. watching as a critic

**Damian Rey** · 01-06-2011, 03:02 PM

I love watching everything as a critic. I find that I not only enjoy it more, but always have a greater appreciation for the overall quality of all the good things that have been/are being done.

When I was just a "fan", or a mark, I was so subjective about everything. I didn't understand or appreciate certain things the way I do now. The Daniel Bryan/Dolph Ziggler week long series for instance, would have been something I'm sure I would have enjoyed as a kid, but as an adult, and someone who looks at those matches as an art and a skill rather than the black and white good guy vs. bad guy approach, I have a much greater appreciation and higher level of enjoyment than I would have had.

Sure, I care, at times, about who wins and loses, but for the most part, I just want to see a well structured, well performed match and well written storylines with dimensional characters.
