An old-school fan's view on today's WWE

The thing is, I consider the wrestlers themselves my old friends and when they all leave, my friends are no longer there so I leave with them.

The reason why I don't watch wrestling anymore is because in short, wrestling became waaaaay too repetitive and predictable for me. Then as much as I liked "Tough Enough", and the wrestler's bios, both took so much of the mystic away from wrestling. Finally, the wrestlers are all my age and I see them as my equals, and for some reason, wrestling was more entertaining to me when the wrestlers were old enough to be my fathers and I saw them as my superiors. They were like gods to me, and they were figuratively speaking ten-feet tall, whereas today's wrestlers are the same size as me if you catch my drift.

Finally, as much as I respect and admire Vince McMahon, what he did to two of my favorite wrestlers of all time - Bret and Owen Hart really put a giant emotion scar on me that I never recovered from. It made me realize that to Vince wrestlers really were just circus animals to him. It wasn't until Vince kept getting bad press that he seemed to finally start acting like he cared about all his wrestlers - past and present.
