BellaOnline Forums Sports Wrestling Been away for some time.

So after nearly 8 months of being burnt out, depressed and too busy; I decided to stop in and see how everyone on here has been. I'm curious what you are watching, who you are watching and what shows you've been to...if any. What are your feelings on the current product of each company?

I switched jobs and am now much happier. What that means is I started to be happy about wrestling again as I missed loving it. I've been watching a lot of Dragon Gate. That was the first step: catching up on some Dragon Gate stuff going on these days. MAN has there been some great stuff. I then started to check out other puro (wrestling from Japan). Lots of great stuff that has been extremely exciting. Then I heard CM Punk became World Champ by claiming his Money in the bank against jeff hardy after a victorious battle against Edge. That brought me to watching Smackdown nearly regularly.

I've been huge on following Punk's story as he went from misunderstood to full blown [censored]! I would love to follow Evan Bourne but always forget about ECW. As much as I hate to admit it, John Morrison is incredible! It was his match w/ Bourne on ECW that made me willing to give wwe a second shot these days. It might not be there anymore but I would suggest people to look it up on hulu.com if you missed it. Dolph Ziggler is another who's doing well. Chris Jericho is always incredible, same w/ Rey Rey. Shame about Edge but it opens up the spotlight.

As far as japanese wrestling goes, I'm all about some YAMATO. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger dickhead in my life. The guy is just on point in every aspect. Prince Devitt is one hell of an athlete. He had a great match w/ his tag partner against the Motor City Machine Guns. KENTA/Marufuji/Taiji Ishimori and an old friend Go Shiozaki. Kota Ibushi is great but I have some minor gripes.

Indy Wrestling, finally got to enjoy some Chikara, they certainly do some crazy stuff as well! I've always been a fan of Jigsaw & Mike Quackenbush but enjoyed some other great wrestling as well. I wasn't too sold on the Young Bucks at first but let me tell you, these guys are incredible! Another bunch you must go out of your way for. And if you follow the Indy scene, keep your eye out for Mike Sydal. He's a hard worker and so eager to learn. He'll explode one day.

And incase you didn't know...Dragon Gate USA is the new big sensation...www.dgusa.tv Check out some free videos! Especially the preview before their debut ppv Sep 4th!

So catch me up guys and hopefully I'll be around a bit more!
