Podcast Episode 109: Omaha!

I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?

The night before this week’s Raw, Peyton Manning shouted “Omaha!” in a losing effort at the site of last year’s WrestleMania. While watching Raw, no doubt many of us shouted “Omaha!” in a losing effort as the crowd sort of bought into WWE’s “Batista is a babyface” propaganda. I mean, seriously, give it up Dave. Embrace the douchiness. Own it, with your ridiculous denim vest and tight pants.

In other news, The Wyatt Family and The Shield start to heat up their rivalry, though Seth Rollins still has his hands full keeping the Hounds of Justice focused on the true enemy. And Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan deliver once again. Yes! Yes! Yes! …indeed.

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!
