thanks for the interesting read and by no means would i tell you how to raise her, but i do have to wonder if a 12 year old needs you to smark her up like that, not knowing so much is part of the mystique for fans that age I kind of agree with this. It's hard to say they formed their own opinions when you've been basically telling them who is "bad" and "horrible" Because you want them to like the same things that you do. By and large, a 12 year old left to their own devices when watching wrestling isn't going to develop Sara Del Rey as their favorite wrestler. They're not even going to be able to find SHIMMER, more than likely. But then again, I guess it's human nature, when bringing someone into something, to direct them towards having the same tastes you might (whether it works or not). She asked to borrow some of my Shimmer DVDs when she saw one of the matches on an ROH card. When she saw their workers she absolutely loved it. CM Punk she loved since she saw one of my tapes with him against Austin Aries, she loved the high spots.

That was a really good read dude. It pretty much shows that kids know what they like instead of some of the crap the WWE shoves down peoples throats. I also like how you're telling her about the history of the WWE. That's alot of history but it sounds like she's willing to learn ;D.

She didn't get why people liked Ric because of his appearance in later years, but when I explained and showed her some Steamboat matches and bits and pieces of different guys talking about him it clicked quickly and she became a big fan of Flair in ring. I've kept her away from the promos and the "space mountain" type stuff though.

She'll probably hate Hogan's stuff because it sounds like she appreciates better wrestlilng than anything. If she likes good heels you should show her some of the old nWo stuff and the Corporation Rock. Also if she likes Shawn Michaels his ladder match with Razor.

She said Hogan looks stupid when he Hulks up once. She also thinks when he has a comeback it doesn't look real because he looks out of shape. She does really like his match against Warrior at WM6 though, I think for the story telling. She loves the Razor ladder match!

Add me to the list of "great read" comments. Refreshing to see someone that young appreciating the art for what it is, and not blindly following what Vince thinks kids will love. You guys should set up a blog for her, I'd love to see her weekly (or however often) thoughts on the shows.

I hate Mark Henry. He is slow and doesn’t win much. I don’t know why they made him win against Kane or Big Show. I hope somebody else gets the belt. Chris told me all about Tommy Dreamer in old ECW so I want him to win the belt. I don’t want to see Mark Henry fight much. I agree with that 1,000% ;D For being 12 or 13 she has a good grasp of what's going on. Nice read
