Giving Up On Pro Wrestling?

Hi Scott,

Was there ever a time you nearly gave up on pro-wrestling, or at least considered taking a bit of a break from it?

I did in 2005, when the JBL title reign and then Eddie’s death just soured me on the business so much that I went to reviewing old shows pretty much exclusively. WWE 24/7 pretty much saved my fandom because I could watch 86 World Championship Wrestling as a weekly substitute for RAW, and keep up with the current PPVs on a three month delay.

1995 also came close to driving me away with the Hogan babyface run and whatever bullshit Vince was doing, but SMW and ECW, plus Japan tapes, kept me going at least long enough for the boom to come again.
