I had a mixture of emotions on Tuesday when watching the memorial concert for Michael Jackson. I purposely waited a day to write about it because I wanted everything to sink before I offered my opinion on it.
On one hand, it was a classy send-off yet - on the other - it was 'Hollywood'.
If you get what I mean.
It was very sad in parts and - just like the episodes of Monday Night Raw dedicated to Owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero - tears were welling up.
I'm pretty sure the world will never see an event dedicated to someone in this way ever again. I spent the day thinking about which current star or person could get similar treatment and I could only think of one possible name but even then I am not so sure whether this person's passing will top what happened in Los Angeles.
The moment that really moved me was when his coffin was being wheeled away and they had the the opening bit to 'Man in the Mirror' playing.
Michael Jackson and his music was a part of my childhood and, as he was being moved out of the arena, I realised that this was definitely it.
