I love wrestling and comic books, but I'm no longer a regular consumer of either. I would like to be, but I quickly get overwhelmed and move on. About once a year I dive back into both mediums, approaching with the mentality that I can just pick a spot and start consuming, but then my brain inevitably kicks in and needs to organize my consumption habits.
For comics, this means picking a jumping on point and keeping a spreadsheet of everything I've read and everything I want to read. I might start with Superman only, but then that means Justice League too, and pretty soon I'm finding myself at the beginning of the latest jumping on point trying to read everything.
For wrestling, it's wanting to get caught up on what's going on now, but to do that I need to go back a ways so I'll have continuity, but how far do I go back? I quit watching regularly in 2001. I never watched Ruthless Aggression, so I'm curious about all that. So now I'm rewinding 20 years, but then I get nostalgic for the nWo, and then I get nostalgic for the early 90's, and pretty soon I'm in 1985 watching the first WrestleMania while creating a spreadsheet of every PPV in order all the way to current day and thinking "Damn I am never going to get to the stuff I really want to watch" before eventually giving up entirely.
So yeah, I want to enjoy these mediums but I keep getting in my own way.
