Hello, hello, hello, it's time for my next post. My previous post wasn't planned, so it took the place of this one on my writing schedule, so here I am lol. Today's A to Z of Me Challenge is W for wrestling fan. I watched professional wrestling off and on as a kid, but I became a full-time fan in 1996 (at the age of 11) when I watched Shawn Michaels win the Royal Rumble match. He's been my all-time favorite since then (and yes, even in his retirement, I consider him to be my favorite). My other favorites include Jeff Hardy, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, John Cena, Edge, Cody Rhodes, Matt Hardy etc. I've been to countless events, including Wrestlemania 29 in 2013, the 2014 Royal Rumble and SummerSlam 2015. I did enjoy WCW and ECW back in the day, and I'm open to tuning into AEW again, as I did enjoy it. And yes, I know it's scripted ("fake" to many), but so are TV shows and movies, so just let me enjoy what I like, please and thank you. :) Alrighty, I'm wrapping this up. I'll be back at some point. Take care! :) Photo Credit: This is my picture from the Shawn Michaels meet and greet back in 2013. It was the second (of three) time I met him, and he's always been so nice to me. :)

You aren't hurting anybody by enjoying what you do, so people need to not even mention "it's fake" and all that other bs they say when wrestling and other interests are mentioned. Because we ain't here for it in general, nevermind with everything going on in the world right now. I miss matt. I'm not into aew, so can't watch him there. Ugh.

Yeah, I need an outlet or two, I can't keep getting consumed by current events. Wrestling and NKOTB have kept me sane the last week, so I'm not even responding to any negative comments. I mean, you CAN, unless you don't get the channel. It's not bad really, I just can't always watch it because of my own schedule. You can also check YouTube for just Matt's segments.

@tammys85 no, I literally can't get into aew. I've tried a few times. So can't watch him. But i hope he does well over there especially for his boys.

@Courtlynn Just YouTube his segments so you're only watching him. Otherwise, I don't know. I don't blame him for leaving. They weren't doing anything with him.

That's a great picture of you with him. I've learned a lot about wrestling from your posts.

Thank you so much! I asked if I could hug him and he permitted it, I didn't expect him to hug me back. That was like, my golden moment lol.

@tammys85 I'm not sure which city in Michigan he was from. But, they did a wrestling competition in our high school gymnasium. It was awesome!

Wrestling is still on TV. WWE and AEW have been putting on shows in empty venues.

@tammys85 Maybe I find some online show and watch it. There is no sport in Europe for last few weeks.
