WWF was mindless entertainment after learning that it was, largely, scripted.

EVER.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s not many things I have complete control over, and I just need to try to be the best person I can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, mixing up the songs of the generations as I’m writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gen X:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
