Hello, I am “the Governor” and this is the State of Wrestling.
Here’s some information about me. When I was a kid, during the Hogan-era, I was a huge pro wrestling fan. My two brothers got me back into wrestling roughly 3 years ago.
I read Mick Foley’s books (amongst others). I started reading about the Monday Night Wars and saw that some kid named “HBK” was champion of WWE (then WWF). I found out that Bret Hart was given a chance to be champ. I was confused. Former tag-team wrestlers were champs? These guys weren’t even giants!
I got further and further into wrestling history and checked out the death of WCW. Scott Steiner was champ? The guy from the Steiner Brothers? He looked completely different.
I started looking at wrestling in a new way with the help of the internet. I found out about something about Vince McMahon being an on-air character. I found out about something called work-rate. Then I started paying attention to the matches on Raw and SmackDown! These guys named Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle were phenomenal.
Now, I’m still into pro wrestling. I’ll give a recap on the State of Wrestling because it needs to be addressed. I don’t plan on this becoming big and anyone actually deciding to comment or listen to these ideas, but I thought it would be fun to have an outlet regarding professional wrestling.
