We have had TWO new champions in the past week, with mega-face ADR beating Big Show for the WHC and Kaitlyn stealing the Divas Title from Eve. Beyond that, not a ton happened. The Rock and CM Punk had a nice build apart from each other on SmackDown, and sort of continued it on Monday. Don’t worry, we’ve still got next week’s go home show before the Royal Rumble!

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!
