There was a similar phenomenon in comics after Wolverine got huge, and that also drove me away from X-Men books for the longest time. I don't know, maybe it was that 90's "EXTREME" trend that soured me on it (and just about everything else it touched back then).

I still try to keep tabs on all the current wrestling promos, but I can't remember the last time I actually watched a TV broadcast or PPV. I've seen one house show (In Your House), one taped broadcast (RAW, before the WAR) and one PPV live event (the very first King of the Ring tournament). The last wrestling event I went to was the last Pillman Show. Did a meet-n-greet with Matt and Lita (Jeff missed his plane and didn't make it in time, but was there for his match later on). Got my pic taken with them too and we got photobombed by Raven.

My favorite wrestler is Undertaker and I have a signed "Deadman" t-shirt from him that I won in a charity auction. It was an actual shirt worn by him at one of the WWE events (but cleaned before getting signed). I'll see if I can get a pic of it. I've been meaning to get it framed, but I keep putting it off.

Raven almost gave my younger brother an asthma attack years ago when we met him lol
