Ziggler: bringing wrestling prestige back to the Intercontinental Championship!

So, Santa Claus was on Raw.

In all seriousness, though.. This year’s Christmas themed episode of Monday Night Raw wasn’t half bad, compared to years past. We got two solid matches, in what were rematches from the previous week – but you’d be a fool to complain about Ziggler / Harper or Ambrose / Wyatt… Some other stuff happened, we made fun of it, and overall… seasonal joy was had.

Hosted By: ‘The Beast from the Middle East’ Darrell Johnson (@zazzumplop)

Featuring: Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage / @schlizzag), ‘A Bomb’ Adam Hess (@ahess49), and Derek (@cap_kaveman).

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!
