Kurt’s Blog: My Son and I Rank the Best Wrestlers Ever

Tomorrow & Sunday….Wrestlemania…because it couldn’t just be contained to one night! And yes…that’s a photo of when Drew McIntyre stopped by the show a yea rago.

Listen…when I was growing up, I loved the WWF, but wasn’t allowed to watch it. It was my mom & dad’s rule…no wrestling…no Married With Children. I know, right?

I’d still sneak away and find ways to watch it…I remember being at a friend’s sleepover and watching Wrestlemania VI … and it was just the greatest.

Then I drifted away…but then when I was at Drake…Stone Cold Steve Austin became my spirit animals. I mean…I was buying t-shirts. More than one…and wore them…a lot.

Then…the ROCK showed up. Holy cow. Life changing…he’s a National Treasure after all.

Stone Cold & The Rock…it was must watch every Monday night.

Then, after college…drifted away again…it would catch my eye every now and then, but it was fleeting.

Now…my 9-year old son….llloooovvves it. So, we got the free trail of WWE Network so we can watch Wrestlemania tonight and tomorrow night.

We were watching a replay of a previous Wrestlemania…and he was so stressed. Loved it. For me, the wrestling is great…but I love the theatrics of the entrances. The entrance music is epic stuff for me. I get goosebumps still when I hear the glass break and Stone Cold’s music begins blaring.

Well, that’s settled…first I will list my son’s…and mine…favorite wrestlers of all-time…but then, yes, I have to rank the entrance music…for sure
