Podcast Episode 174: Best. Raw. Ever.

I can't even.
I can’t even.

After a lackluster weekend in ‘sports entertainment’ that most likely saw the end of boxing as we know it (thank for nothing Mayweather / Pacquiao), WWE stepped their game up in a big way by providing wall to wall entertainment. Solid in ring action paired with intriguing storylines and fun backstage segments that took us back to when wrestling was fun on a regular basis.

Dean Ambrose and Sami Zayn for President and Co-President. They can tag team the White House. I don’t care if one of them isn’t American.

Hosted By: ‘A Bomb’ Adam Hess (@ahess49)

Featuring: Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage / @schlizzag), Derek (@cap_kaveman), and ‘The Beast from the Middle East’ Darrell Johnson (@zazzumplop).

Music by The Black Furies, courtesy of Music Alley. And, uh, RavenCyarm via YouTube. You’ll see.

For most of the last 30+ years of my life, I've been watching WWE. As a kid, Monday Night Raw hooked me from the start. From Bret Hart and Razor Ramon, to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.. I've witnessed the ups and downs and I'm proud to have enjoyed pro wrestling through the years.

Though I now watch in a much different fashion than I did when I was a kid (finding out Vince McMahon was the owner and Jack Tunney no more than a figurehead was like finding out Santa Claus did not exist), I feel like I have a much greater appreciation for the hard work pro wrestlers do and the things they sacrifice to entertain us.

It's still real to me, dammit!
