I took this photo at Survivor Series 2008. |
Ever since I was young I always loved to imitate my favorite wrestler, as well as Superman, Batman and everyone else who was awesome. When I was a kid it was the excitement, it was the entertainment which then changed a bit once I understood more about the business and how its staged. Yes folks, politically correct term for us wrestling fans is "staged" not "fake". They do get hurt every time they go out there but exaggerate the pain for the crowd. Fake is Hollywood, Staged is wrestling.. So after finding out the world behind the curtain, how things work, why certain wrestlers are at the top, why they lose it all becomes a whole new world to a wrestling fan. Now the title is "I have loved the WWE all my life" I was specific by saying WWE because I wasn't always a professional wrestling fan, that would indicate I followed other promotions such as ROH, NJPW, AJW.. during my teenage years I became a hardcore pro wrestling fan and bought many VHS tapes from online stores, many DVDs featuring FMW, ECW, XPW, Japan Death Match tournaments, (nobody dies just an intense name!) and even backyard wrestling dvds *pushes in back of the shelf with shame* but nomatter what other type of wrestling I watched it was always the WWE.
No matter what was going on in my life, wrestling was always there. I watched it every week on TV, read about everything online and it never disappointed me. I looked at the wrestlers on TV as my second family and it always made me happy and really has been a huge.. a HUGE part of my life.
Real Fact: Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XIX was the first main event at WrestleMania to feature two wrestlers using their real names.
