Remember my grandpa ordering Wrestlemania 17, seeing the opening video package, thinking the Rock Bottom looked cool and trying it on a stuffed animal off of a stool, breaking the stool, not being allowed to watch Mania or wrestling period after that.
Fast forward to March 4th, 2004. I'm with my parents at some auto shop in a rain storm waiting for them to change some tires, the TV in the lobby on UPN. Smackdown is on and Lesnar is riding Stone Cold's ATV around. I went home and begged my mom to let me tape Smackdown, Raw, Heat, and Velocity, and never looked back.
Sometimes I really forget how magical wrestling was to me as a kid, and how I struggle on a daily basis to enjoy much of anything anymore. It makes me appreciate the really cool moments in wrestling that take me back to being a dumb kid rather than a jaded, depressed, faggot.
