It’s official. WWE is going head to head with AEW this fall. NXT is making the move to USA, extending to two hours, and broadcasting LIVE against AEW’s weekly show on TNT. It’s like the late 90s all over again. And if you think NXT vs AEW isn’t a big deal, you’re fooling yourself. In a world where everyone consumes whatever niche entertainment they want, even the world of pro wrestling is splintering amongst fans.

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!
