THE PRO WRESTLING LANDSCAPE IS ALWAYS CHANGING

And it's changing like WILDFIRE. One day Bryan Danielson is fired, the next day he's United States Champion. One day Chris Jericho is expected to leave forever, the next day he's laughing at the internet for working them. One day Matt Hardy starts a YouTube channel to give you a glimpse into the WWE life, the next day he's using it to GTFO. One day Michael Cole is the worst announcer in real life, the next day he's the worst announcer in kayfabe. One day CM Punk has never heard of Twitter, the next day he's the best thing that's ever happened to it. One day Eric Bischoff is playing guitar on Impact, the next day I never watch Impact again.

What are your favourite landscape changes in pro wrestling history? Or just lately? Things that your twelve year old self would flip over if you told him. Like if I showed my twelve year old self footage of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels hugging on RAW in 2010, he'd turn blue and fall over. Stuff like that. Or just funny stupid stuff. Whatever. It seems like there are too many to count.

Take it upon yourself to define "landscape changing" because I don't even totally know what I mean. All I know is that in pro wrestling, shit can flip on a dime. One day we thought we were gonna get Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness tearing it up in the WWE, today we get Danielson and The Miz doing a Jawbreaker Lariat spot on PPV. BAM.

While you think about your answer (or while you mosey on to the next site you want to look at (I suggest this one, Drop Toehold, a wrestling Tumblr feed that's got a lot of different awesome stuff on the go, including this funny picture)), here is a hilarious shot of The Miz I found on F Yeah The Miz - seeing this picture and then seeing him now is more of a manscape changer:
