Tight. I THINK I'm decently versed in most of the styles. I'm interested to see how they've evolved since I watched old tapes. I assume from the few things I've seen that the main guys are in better shape and take less absurd head dropping chances. And even when they do...hey, they are in better shape so it usually works out better.
But it is wild to see who their Cena is. And I'm interested in what the Jr's are up to since the smaller heavies do what Jr's used to get by on.
Shady heel cheating warms my heart easily so I know I'm gonna be down with that!
Thanks again...I'll report back once I watch these...
