@Aiysha George Thunder I didn’t know almost turning 20 was considered being a kid. I honestly just miss the early 2000’s WWE, I was a kid back then but I’d always be hyped to see people like Kofi Kingston, the Hardy brothers and even Cryme Time. The WWE now is nothing compared to back then
@isuperswagg6300
@Aiysha George Thunder The current superstars don’t impress me like the ones back then did, they’re honestly just boring now
