I used to be one of these blindly dedicated fans from 2001 to 2006
I knew how much they entertained me from years back so i was patient and there was a lot of good to great stuff to behold but as the years trudged on it came far and few between the older generation was being replaced by no talents and greenhorns,
the new guys who were the new breathe of fresh ari wrestling needed were being pushed to the wayside,
the matches were being badly paced and they slowed to a crawl,
more convuluted and tired plot developments and coppouts were being used again and again
even in 2003 I was only half invested in the show,
i think what kept me going was because i was also watching TNA ROH FWA IWW and CZW thanks to that beloved TWC Fight Channel on Sky
i was so amzed by what they did that i thought "WOAH these guys should be in WWE, imagine the possibilities!"
but as the years went on most of them stayed where they were and wwe was instead hiring one future endevour after an other meanwhile the belts where becoming formulmatic and the brand split was becoming moire and more confusing and irrelivant
rumour has it that Vince hired Russo back for two weeks back in 2002 and during that time it was RUSSO of all people who came up with the idea of the brand split,
it was a good idea at the time especially with the womens and World champions going back and forth but then Triple H came back onto RAW and the WWE i once knew and loved,
slowly but surely was gone forever
I was still loyal in 05 because JBL and Triple H were finally dethroned and i was giving Cena and Dave the benefit of a boubt Ric flair was ocming back in to the fray ands ECW was coming back,
I WASNT EVEN A FAN OF THE OLD ECW and i thought this was wonderful
Then 2006 came along

my life was never the same
