    The Bucks are like those kids in grade school who see a kid with a new toy, ask to play with it, don’t give it back and end up breaking it. The Bucks treat this like it’s their promotion despite not putting a dime into it.

      He pretty much stayed the same though from 2004 until he finished aside from the very very end, and a few tweaks now and again in appearance by which time he was one match a year anyways. But your initial point is spot on. As I've gotten older it's wild how time passing seems to be different in those kind of perceptions. Hell, Kane went from not been able to talk and been undamageable to bald and glass eye jobbing to Matt Hardy in five too.
