Podcast Episode 76: Payback Results, and.. Raw of the Year?

Posted on by Joshua Schlag

What a week of wrestling! The inaugural Payback PPV emanated from a wrestling Mecca of sorts – Chicago, where expectations were high – and WWE did not disappoint. CM Punk and Chris Jericho blew the roof off of The All State Center, among many other big time matches. Raw stood on its own, with Mark Henry shocking us all and if that man doesn’t win a prime time Emmy – we riot!

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!
