Not even in the slightest, but I have quite a few friends and family who are, and rope me into watching it with them.

Of course I loved it as a kid, most of us did, so there's a nostalgic charm to it but it's absolutely awful.

funny story

about 8 years ago there was a huge wrestling ppv at the local bar

I had 4 friends with me who are die hard wrestling fans


I asked them for the recent soap opera story line behind the wrestlers for each match


I predicted 11 out of the 12 matches based on what they said

only one I got wrong was going with my boyhood favorite, ric flair



they all averaged about 1/2 right

More like a soap opera for males

Pretty sure Star Wars is more real than wrestling.

In the playoffs, He’s 3rd behind their top pair in limiting scoring chances against.

3rd in Corsi for %

He had the worst expected goals against of any defender on the jets during the regular season.

The narrative isn't completely unfounded. He's pretty good offensively


Edit: He's been pretty good this playoffs though. Byfuglien is getting hammered.

I don’t think he’s great defensively, but awful is a stretch.

He’s on one of the leagues best blue lines and still see’s the ice to kill the last minute and plays top PK time.

Im not sure PK deployment is an accurate way to assess that. Babcock leaned heavily on Zaitsev and Hainsey for defensive matchups and PK time. They got carved like a turkey.

Yeah, coaches can be dumb. I agree

Myers has had 4 of them and they all play him in defensive situations.

I don’t think the dude is a shut down D man, but he makes plenty of good plays in the D zone, especially carrying the puck out of traffic.

His problem is the bad, is quite bad.

yeah it tends to stick on the eye test longer. Jake Gardiner has the same problem. he'll make 9 pretty good defensively plays, but the 10th one is usually a prime scoring chance against.

What I think is funny is that Winnipeg will probably get a good asset or two for him this offseason, and make that Kane trade tree look even worse
