My best friend (though we hang out less than we used to) stopped watching wrestling in 2006. He was the guy who got me into it. Back in the day when he lived across the street we would play WWE SYM over his house, then go play HCTP over mine. It was good times.
We'd have debates as to who would win in matches. Debates such as could Brock Lesnar ever make Benoit tap, or would Benoit eventually take the title from him (we talked about this in 2003). It was our childhood friend. We'd have the action figures, the toy belts, everything.
I'll never forget the time I went over his house a few years ago. I asked him what happened on RAW, since I missed it. He told me he forgot to watch it. No big deal. Then he seemed to miss it more often. Week after week, month after month. Then he came over my house one day and asked me this.
Him: You still watch wrestling?
Me: Yeah.
Him: You do?
Me:Yeah, why?
Him: That stuff is ridiculous, I stopped.
I remember this because it was the week Batista turned on Triple H and Ric Flair, and put HHH through the table. Back then he stopped watching, but still played the games. A year later I noticed we even stopped playing the games. Now it seems like we have almost nothing in common. How can I get my friend back into wrestling (particularly WWE)?
