It would be a happier Rusev Day if he had won the United States Championship this week, but alas… we must wait for a greater Rusev Day to come.

Another solid episode of RAW and another sort of awkward episode of SmackDown have passed as we head towards Elimination Chamber. And by “we”, I don’t mean Jason Jordan. Get well soon, Kurt Jr.!

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!
