The thing I learned most from returning to watching wrestling again though, is just how addictive and frustratingly difficult it is to stay away from wrestling once you get back into it. WWE still seems to be at a creative nadir, and within three hours of one telecast I had managed to find seemingly hundreds of problems with what I was watching. When I listened to my favourite podcasts, and read my favourite websites I could instantly tell that I was not alone. Yet despite this, I think I am hooked again. Sure I wont be bothering with all the PPVs and all the weekly TV that the WWE machine pumps out on a weekly basis. And I know I am setting myself up for disappointment again. But there is something so unique about this product and so interesting about the endless theoretical discussions that can be had, and the arguments about what decisions are wrong, that you cant really help but love it. Even though I enjoyed having a break from WWE and even though the product is still terrible, its been a hell of a lot of fun catching up with a product that I must admit I love to hate. Well see how long it lasts this time. I am sure WWE will frustrate me one too many times, but one thing I do know is that I will probably be back after that hiatus again, looking for that first hit I felt in 1996 all over again. And the cycle will continue on and on and on and on
