Getting Noticed By Management
Okay, so I am not really sure what the direction of this post is going to be or even my reasoning for it. But after watching this past Monday Night RAW, I truly can say that I regret ever really watching shoot interviews or reading articles from websites like The Torch and The Wrestling Observer. It is very interesting and I love finding out as much as I can about the wrestling business, but I feel like it has taken that "kayfabe magic" away from me. I can just think of a guy like Roman Reigns. Had I not known about the wrestling business and the in/outs of it, I would've loved the guy. If a 10 year old me had been watching RAW and a guy like Roman Reigns would've came out, I would've been one of his biggest supporters. I mean what is there not to love about the guy? He has the size, the intensity, the look, his promos are cold yet entertaining, just a very larger than life personality and look. Every time he hits his spear, I can just imagine how I felt when I would see Goldberg hit his spear, it was just intense and very similar. But with everything now known about the business, I have more regard for guys like Daniel Bryan and Cesaro. I try to watch the show from an unbiased standpoint in the regards of trying not to predict what is going to happen, but I almost can't help it now. I knew exactly what was going to happen at Fast Lane. I knew for a fact that Roman was going to beat Bryan and go onto WrestleMania to face Lesnar. I basically predicted that entire show, and because I have an idea of how the wrestling business works in regards to their creative, it is hard for me to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the show and be shocked by the results. I remember watching back in even early 2000 when The Rock was going to face The Big Show to determine who went on to WM, and when Shane came out and hit The Rock in the head with the steel chair to help Show win, that was shocking to me. I could have never predicted anything like that back then as a 11 year old. But to watch the show now, even when I try not to predict in my head, I do. I love watching shoot interviews with the older guys about what was going on backstage, but it has kind of taken away my ability to be able to take the show for what it's worth now. Maybe I'm just overthinking this, but I wish that I could unlearn everything I have about the business, so I could just take the show for what it is and immerse myself into the storylines.
I guess my reason for posting this is to ask basically, does anyone else feel this way? Or is it just me?
