Impressed by WWE Elite at #SDCC2018

I’m really impressed with the personalities from WWE Elite Squad at the panel today. Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Becky Lynch, A. J. Styles, and Matt Hardy. So much so that I might start watching wrestling again.

I was in the room primarily for the 2001: A Space Odyssey panel that came after it, but I really enjoyed these wrestlers. They reminded me of how much fun Mrs Redshirt and I had watching the various WWE TV shows and attending the events. It’s a whole universe that I’ve fallen away from but that I fondly remember.

One thing I really lie is how they honor the older generation of wrestlers. They really look at the Legends fondly and revere them knowing that they stand upon the shoulders of great personalities.

On top of that these guys and gals seem like real people. When I go to panels featuring actors often I am confronted with people who are so full of themselves and believe they’re so far above the common man that it’s often insulting. These wrestlers seem to be normal people who happen to be doing something they love for a living. It was nice to see.
