Heel Turn: Pro wrestling's hot month should remind fans just how good they have it

WWE star Austin Theory reveals to Fox News Digital one rising wrestler who he'd see as a possible prospect for The Vision.

It’s often difficult to live up to the high expectations that pro wrestling fans have.

The diehards want every match to be five stars, the storylines to make complete sense and the fans in the arena to yell and scream as if they’ve never been to a show before.

Sometimes, they have to remember just how good they have it in this era. Not everything is going to be "Monday Night Wars" level of entertainment. Pro wrestlers are dealing with injuries, fatigue and the added pressure that comes with trying to execute at every turn. Sometimes, it’s worth remembering just how much wrestling there is nowadays and just how good every fan has it.

It brings us to June 1. The last 31 days of pro wrestling was a real treat for anyone who watches the sport.

Clash in Italy, Backlash, Saturday Night’s Main Event, Double or Nothing, Fairway to Hell, Wrestling Dontaku and Noche de Los Grandes were just some of the major pro wrestling events that occurred in May.

Is it safe to say that May was one of the best months of pro wrestling ever?

WWE hosted solid premium live events that saw Roman Reigns defeat Jacob Fatu twice and Sol Ruca win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage captured championships at All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) Double or Nothing while Will Ospreay’s storylines with United Empire and the Death Riders grew at Wrestling Dontaku.
