Picked up the ticket in the presale.  I skipped last year due to New York but I’m heading to Tampa next year and flying this time so I’ll be back faster instead of being half asleep for three days from exhaustion.

As usual, I couldn’t do this kind of thing without you all.  I get to do this because of all of you and the last few months have seen things explode, to the point where I’ve been able to do a lot of things that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now.  We’re coming up on nine years of me doing this and it’s going places I never would have believed possible.  Thank you all so much for letting me do this and I can’t believe it keeps getting better and better.

It’s that time of year again.  You all get to pick the Survivor Series I redo this year to be inserted into the countup.  As usual I’ll be doing last year’s show so it is ineligible, along with the following shows which I’ve done recently enough:

1989, 2003, 2004, 2016, 2017

Everything else is eligible.  Vote in the comments.

This week has been one of the busiest in wrestling history and there have been more things going on than I could have imagined.  I’ve been looking at the site’s numbers and they’ve been up rather well, along with the revenue that comes with them.  That means more people have been looking at it and that kind of thing always makes my head spin.  I can’t begin to thank you all enough for sticking with me as long as you have and it means so much when I see people coming here and reading my stuff and commenting on it.  This week has been a tiring one but seeing people interested in what I’m saying about it makes the whole thing worth it.

Thank you all and I hope I can keep you around.

I’m going to be at both shows so the reviews are going to be a bit late.  I’m not sure how much time I’m going to have on Monday as I’m driving to Charlotte today and then on to Knoxville on Monday, followed by a trip back home on Tuesday.  I’ll get the reviews done ASAP but I’m sorry in advance for the delays.  I’ll have a live report up on both nights (in theory at least).

It’s a strange time for WWE. 2003 was one of the darkest years the company has ever seen from a creative standpoint and a lot of that was due to how things went on Monday Night Raw. You can only run things into the ground in the same way so many times and that limit was reached several months before 2004 begins. Something has to go a little bit differently on the flagship show but that has been the case for a long time now and nothing has changed. Maybe things can turn around this time.

In this book, I’ll be looking at every Monday Night Raw from 2004 and seeing how things went throughout the year. 2004 is remembered as a year with some fresh names getting a chance to shine after going around in circles for so long and now it is time to let them have a chance. The question though is how well that exactly went. Each episode will be broken down match by match and segment by segment. Included will be analysis and ratings for the shows to see why the year is remembered so poorly.

The book runs over 340 pages and is available on Amazon both in a physical paperback for $9.99 or an e-book format for $2.99. In case you don’t have a Kindle, there are plenty of FREE apps you can get from Amazon for pretty much any electronic device, all of which are available at this link.

You can pick up the book from Amazon here in paperback and here as an e-book.

And from the UK Amazon here in paperback and here as an e-book.

Or if you’re in another country with its own Amazon page, just search “KB Raw 2004” and it should be the first thing to come up.

Also you can still get any of my previous books on the Intercontinental Championship, Monday Night Raw from 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003 and the first half of 2014, Monday Nitro from 1995-1999, In Your House, Summerslam, Starrcade, ECW Pay Per Views, Royal Rumble, Saturday Night’s Main Event, the WWF and WCW pay per views from 1998, Wrestlemania, WWE Grab Bag and Clash of the Champions, NXT Volumes I, II and III at my author’s page here.

I hope you like it and shoot me any questions you might have.

If you want all seven of these, pick up any three of my books (ebooks, paperbacks or a combination) and send me some form of a receipt (Screen shot of one, forward me the receipt, whatever. I’ll take your word for it.) and I’ll mail you all of these 100% free of charge (I’ll pay the shipping). I’ll watch these ASAP and send them out ASAP. As you might have guessed, this is of course first come first serve with only one set of them.

Let me know any questions you might have.

And filming it vertically was my wife’s fault (Happy Anniversary!).

1994

2003

2004

2017

My dad and his buddy were going to go but the show had to be rescheduled. He told me to see if I could find a buyer for them so let me know if you’re interested. There are three of them in a row and none of them are being used.

Pay per view is one of the most important aspects of professional wrestling. You can get a lot out of television, but at the same time you need a big show to build towards. That’s where pay per view came in, though originally they were fairly infrequent. Eventually the shows became more common, and the WWF even offered a series of cheaper shows. That’s where In Your House came into play, though there was a lot more to it than just some lower priced events.

In this book, I’ll be looking at all twenty eight editions of In Your House, which ran over the course of about four years. Each show will be broken down match by match and segment by segment. Included will be analysis and ratings for the shows to see what worked and didn’t work about the entire series.

The book runs about 270 pages and is available on Amazon both in a physical paperback for $9.99 or an e-book format for $2.99. In case you don’t have a Kindle, there are plenty of FREE apps you can get from Amazon for pretty much any electronic device, all of which are available at this link.

Wrestling is a weird place. As fans, we sit around trying to figure out what is going to happen and very rarely do we get it absolutely right. There are too many wild cards in the mix and often they can throw everything that makes sense out the window. That’s what brings us back every week: a never ending desire to find out what these crazy people are going to do next, because there’s always something that keeps you hooked for another week.

That’s where things can get interesting. Sometimes you get a surprise thrown in and it takes away the security that you have. As confusing as wrestling can be sometimes, it gets even worse when you don’t know what’s coming and it doesn’t make a bit of sense. That’s annoying in wrestling and it can be even worse elsewhere in all forms of entertainment.

Wrestling is a little more tricky though as it isn’t exactly based in reality. Sure the storylines are supposed to be as realistic as they can be, but there are so many things going on that it’s hard to tell what you can really expect more often than not. That makes for a lot of things that are beyond your control, which isn’t something that would work in the real world, especially when it comes to putting your money at risk. Knowing some of these details in advance can be very beneficial, and it’s an especially good idea when you’re spending some money on something.

Your time and money are valuable and you shouldn’t have to worry about some big surprise before you invest either into something. That defeats the purpose of entertainment and isn’t something that you should take a risk on. It helps to know what you’re getting into before you get into it as it can make things a lot more fun, while also giving you the most of what you could possibly get for your investment.

Now with the rise of online gambling, it can be a lot easier to find out what you’re going to be doing before you start playing. Having something like Vegas2Web around to show you some more of the specifics can help things out a lot and make it that much easier to have a good experience and get the most out of your time and money. Places like this take a lot of pressure off of people who might be looking for something specific and want the best out of everything they’re trying to do with their time.

The thing about gambling or any kind of cards in particular is that there are so many ways to go about doing things. You might not know what you’re going to get yourself into and it can help to have a guide to walk you through what you’re doing. Otherwise, you might find yourself either not having the maximum amount of fun possible or just wasting your time, which isn’t exactly the point of something that is supposed to be entertaining (and profitable if you know what you’re doing). It’s a lot easier than it used to be and that’s a good thing for everyone involved.
