He is risen indeed! After last week’s tease, The Undertaker wasted no time in making his presence felt, complete with a lot of fire and smoke. As such, the top stars in WWE lined up to volunteer their efforts to take down The Dead Man’s streak. Having been mostly unsuccessful in defeating Taker four years ago, CM Punk is out to prove he’s The Best in the World. Also: Cena and The Rock get things started, and a few other WrestleMania bound feuds start becoming more apparent.

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!
