I had fallen out of wrestling fandom for about 3 years; the institution of marriage tends to pull a person away from such trivial pursuits, though sometimes it might push one toward them. Otherwise, there really wasn't an impetus for our separation, me and wrestling. Sometimes there's a "growing apart" that takes place, just like the one that took place between me and NASCAR, or me and Tori Amos, or me and "Lost," or me and ... well, just about anything I've held more than moderate interest in over the last 15 years. There are deeper reasons for these separations, and I won't delve into them here.
Anyway, I've been dipping my toe back into the water as far as my interest in televised professional wrestling is concerned. I'm not going to get into the deeper reasons as to why it would even hold my interest in the first place; superficially, however, I liken it to discovering that your ex-girlfriend is on TV regularly now. You may give all of the signals and make all of the right sounds that you don't care, and on some levels, you may not ... but you secretly tape her shows so that you can watch without anyone else knowing. Me and wrestling are the same way.
In this space on an irregular basis, in the spirit of the writing I did for my old 'zine, I'll cover my thoughts on the week's doings in televised professional wrestling (fake wrestling or whatever epithet you want to use this week). Mostly covering the happenings on WWE's Raw, it'll be called "Tube Tied." I hope you glean something useful from my thoughts.
