Yes, The Rock has returned to start things up with WWE Champion CM Punk, and the whole roster seems to have turned things up a couple notches. Well, except Hornswoggle. Yeah, we do a bit of a Hornswoggle career retrospective in this episode too. Not sure why, but it just sort of happened. Join us, as the Road to the Royal Rumble is in full swing – less than three weeks left!

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!
