So as we know, one of the best parts of sports, entertainment or wrestling is the storylines,

0:03.6

the angles and the narratives, and usually 10 years on from the fact, we all go on social media

0:07.8

and go, oh my gosh, a decade ago that happened.

0:10.8

Then you get really sad because where is life going?

0:13.3

So given all that, I thought I'd throw it all into a basket and go through a bunch of stories
