10. You Measure Your Own Life In Wrestling Moments
WWE programming isn't like real life - as a set of ongoing storylines, the company's output has to constantly deliver big, memorable moments. Usually, these moments take place on monthly PPVs or WWE Network events, with built-up feuds being blown off in huge matches. Real life, on the other hand, doesn't move the same way - and that's fine. Most of us wouldn't want something earth-shattering happening every month - we're content getting to a good place and letting things stay as they are. Still, if you watch wrestling avidly, you'll associate certain dates and time periods with certain matches and events. Case in point: if you ask me what I was doing in February of 2004, I won't have any idea - but I will remember that Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship that month, and that it was an amazing match, too.
