You never know WHO might show up
Pro wrestling is built on the grabbing of an audience and holding onto them extremely tight. What better way to get fans to cheer than to bring them something familiar that may have not been around for a while?
Think about it. You totally popped when Bret hugged Shawn, when Bruno got announced for the HOF, when DX showed up at Raw 1000, or when ECW was going under and you KNEW someone was going to come through the crowd or through gorilla and destroy someone’s face on national TV. In the age of the IWC however, it’s tough to keep a return or appearance secret…unless you’re Chris Jericho and have an awesome light up jacket.
All true. There have been times I’ve wanted to jump off the wagon completely, but I always end up checking in on it after a few weeks and getting sucked back in. I’ll always be a fan, have been since I was a kid.
I’m glad you wrote this, because I often ask myself why I still watch! Good points.
