So its obvious that i’ve taken a break from watching any wrestling, new or old. If my two favorite wrestlers, Rock and CM Punk, deserve a break, so do I.

But I’ll tune in when Punk comes back. He needed to recharge his batteries. His feuds with Rock and Taker were truly epic, but he was definitely going into areas of overkill and running out of material as a heel. the loss to Rock, Cena and Taker brought perfect closure to his disrespectful “I WANT RESPECT” chapter.

Now I hope he comes back and starts a feud with Brock Lesnar, like he did with Rock last year. Would be the best matchup for Brock, since the feud with Rock has probably sailed. And it would be an excellent face push for Punk. Lesnar is the only heel who gets as big of a “mark pop” in the WWE. And Punk is probably the only guy who would get anything out of going over on Brock.

Came across this photo of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant hanging out in Japan and cannot help but wonder what a random non-wrestling knowing Japanese person would think about this sight.

Evolution Promotional Shot [2003]

I’ve always regret tuning out of wrestling altogether after the entire Invasion angle fizzled out. I missed the return of Flair. I missed the WWE debut of Goldberg. I missed the entire rise of the Evolution stable, a group that’s seemingly well loved by everyone who was watching around this time.

I missed all of that and I’m glad. Those things are all better in retrospect, compared to what came after, than what they were following.
