Introducing Steven

I've been watching pro wrestling as long as I can remember. This seems to be a common sentiment amongst many wrestling fans, and maybe it's why we keep coming back over and over despite frustrations or hang-ups over the business. Regardless, it's not an empty sentiment. Most people remember, as a child, getting up early and scrambling to the television to catch the Saturday morning lineups. While I too was guilty of this, my primary concern was not cartoons; it was the weekly edition of USWA. To this day I feel a tingle of excitement when Jerry Lawler runs into the ring, usually to put someone else over, on Monday Night Raw.

As I aged I grew out of wrestling. USWA floundered and died a slow agonizing death as did many small territories and the national scene bored me. It was not until I turned on WWF and saw Shawn Michaels, in the middle of his Boyhood Dream push, that I began to get addicted once more. And before you read any further, I will admit I have a terrible habit of gushing over HBK at every turn. Since then, I have been completely and totally addicted- an addiction fostered through both my late brother and these days, my mother.

These days I enjoy browsing forums, reading news and opinions on the current state of the business. I rarely post however as I'm not crazy about interacting on forums and I know few intelligent, informed wrestling fans to converse with about my views and rants. I thought it might be an interesting experiment to create a blog and convey my ideas.

Without further adieu...
