    I'm 46 true middle age man. The bloodline storyline caught my eye and really brought me back in to watch WWE. Judgement Day is the pleasant other faction that has me watching. Bringing The Rock back is great for the business. It brings me and my middle age money which is good for everyone. I hope he stays around and works with Judgement Day and others.

    Same. I'm 43. I watched from 1983-2006. I came back when Bryan Danielson went to AEW & Sami Sayn got me back into WWE. Between MJF & Sami I was able to fall back in love with a business that I lived & breathed & even worked on (I wrestled from 03-07). I was OUT after my retirement. Vince was ruining everything. Smaller more talented guys were being passed over. I hated him back then. Glad to see his downfall. I was WCW for life & still am. I like that HHH seems to be ushering in a new Silver Age. When AEW dies in 2029 I just hope that they keep trying hard even when there isn't much competition.

    It's incredible watching Damian's growth over the years. Rhea too. I loved her ever since her Mae Young Classic performance. I knew she was gonna be something huge. Great interview with Damian. Great questions asked. Such a fun time to be a fan again. I only just started back tuning in for the first time in years and it's been wild😅💯 so excited for what's next to come for Damian Priest and the rest of the time that HHH is head of creative.

    Hang onto that Rhea thing. I remember seeing a young wrestler make his debut and thinking, "he's got something, a little green, but lots of potential" only to see him languish in the mid card for a while, finally go away and make his way through the indies, then come back years later to be the hottest baby face in the business, if you haven't guessed who by now, I'm referring to Cody Rhodes! So what you saw in Rhea then, what she is now, and she hasn't even hit her ceiling yet, stay tuned!
