As a kid, I would count down the days until WWE’s Monday Night Raw. I loved it and couldn’t get enough. The athleticism, charisma, twists and turns amazed me. I understood that the wrestlers were playing characters. As a matter of fact, the best characters were when the wrestlers got to play animated versions of themselves.
They featured Stone Cold Steve Austin as the the anti-establishment hero. Mick Foley was a little nerdy. On the other hand, Foley could take a beating and still get up. The one who rose above all the rest – The Rock. Above all, he was an awesome mixture of athleticism, charisma, and hilarity.
