As much as I enjoyed the HOF ceremony the night before, WM sucked for me personally. I would've much rather seen it on TV than live. And I didn't see much. Great seats on the floor, but when you have floor-level seats 100 rows back, naturally, those folks near the back aren't gonna see much. But if you're a mark for the entrances and being on the aisle at the stage, I guess the seats were great. But the "atmosphere" did nothing for me.

That's kind of how I feel about a lot of things now, NASCAR would be a great example of better on TV. Everybody should experience some events live but why have nose bleed seats at a huge price when the perfect view was on TV. But then I go and buy U2 tickets in the top rear of a football stadium six months before the concert, so what do I know.

Only from a distance.

Shawn Michaels is the man(next to Flair). I have never seen a bad shawn michaels match. There are good matches, and great matches, and then there are matches with shawn michaels.
