I watched Raw last night for the first time in about four years as I have not really been into wrestling in that long. I'd forgotten what an amazing worker he was.
Still, if the reports coming out of Atlanta are anywhere close to the truth, I don't know if I could ever enjoy one of his matches again. It would be like watching old OJ Simpson highlights or something. I don't think I could ever fully separate the act from the man.
Also, I have a feeling the WWE is about to get hit with an s-storm of negative press like they have not had since the steroid trials. Part of me thinks the domestic wrestling business is on the verge of a historic change because of this. I have no idea what that change is, but this just feels significant.
