Somehow it’s that time of year again. I’ll be starting the Wrestlemania count-up on Sunday March 1 so I need a pair of shows to redo. I’ll be doing XXXV from last year but I need another. You can vote in the comments and all shows are eligible except the following:
XVII
XXI
XXIV
XXXIV
I’m heading back to the show this year and now I have all of my tickets taken care of. It’s not as packed this year as I’ll be doing eight shows plus WrestleCon and Axxess. The major perk is I’m flying in this time so there won’t be a three day period where I’m recovering and trying to catch up on everything. Here’s what I’ll be taking in:
April 2 Thursday
8pm – WrestleCon SuperShow
April 3 Friday
12pm – Evolve 149
3pm – Body Guy Spectacular
8pm – Smackdown
April 4 Saturday
9am – WrestleCon
3pm – WrestleCon Worldwide
7pm – Takeover: Tampa
April 5 Sunday
1pm – 4pm WrestleMania Pre-Party
5pm – Wrestlemania XXXVI
April 6 Monday
1pm – 5pm – Axxess
8pm – Monday Night Raw
I wish I could make the New Japan show but I don’t get into town until about forty minutes before it starts and the airport is about 20 minutes from my hotel.
To say 2019 had a lot going on is an understatement. It was all over the place, both in the ring and for me as well. The amount of stuff that I’ve been doing for Wrestlingrumors.net went through the roof but it has allowed me to do a lot of things that I had always wanted to do both professionally and financially and that has been a huge game changer.
The part that bothers me though is how much time it has taken away from me being able to do my reviews, especially getting them up as fast as I usually do. The last few weeks have been especially bad in this area as I was in Chicago for Survivor Series weekend, caught bronchitis while I was there and wound up with pneumonia when I came back. Then there were the holidays and my in-laws surprised my wife by coming in from England for a few days. I’m trying to get caught up on everything but it’s been a bit of a challenge as I’ve been spending as much time as I can with them. Hopefully I’ll be caught up by Monday and then everything should be back to normal going forward.
As always, thank you all so much for everything you do for me. I absolutely could not do any of this without you as this place gives me a reason to keep going with what I’m doing. It has opened doors for me that I never would have thought possible before and changed my life in ways I still don’t believe. 2019 was awesome and if it never gets any better than that, I’d be more than fine with it. Maybe 2020 can be better and I’m certainly down to try for it. Thank you all for being here with me and I’ll be around as long as you are.
Happy New Year everyone.

This is a special day for a lot of people, including me (as you can see). Regardless of your how you feel about the religious side of the day, Christmas is about spending time with your friends and loved ones, whether it’s a little while or all day. So take the day off (as you should be allowed to do and I’m sorry if you can’t) and just enjoy yourself with someone who means something to you. Watch a Christmas movie, play some games, just chill in front of a nice fire and talk all day or whatever else you want to do. Just spend some time together and if you can, think about what they mean to you because you don’t know when your last Christmas together might be. It’s my first Christmas without my grandmother and I never would have guessed that last year. Enjoy the time while you can, because this is a day you get once a year.
I’ll probably be taking the day off but if I don’t do anything new, I’ll throw up something from the vault.
Merry Christmas to all, and too all a good morning, afternoon and night,

It’s that time of the year again. I’ll be redoing the 2019 Royal Rumble for the count-up but I need another one as well. Therefore, vote in the comments for which one I want to do. All are eligible except 2018 and 2005 (which I’ve done in the last year). The count-up starts on Christmas Day.
Go!
This site launched nine years ago. It started off as a hobby because I had way too much going on over at WrestleZone and needed a place to store all of these things. It was hardly financially successful to start but now it has turned into something that lets me provide for my family while also watching a ton of wrestling. I’ll be around as long as you all want me to be plus probably a bit longer so thank you all for sticking around and checking me out over the years. I know it’s a bit of a cliche to say this but it really has changed my life for the much better and I don’t know what I did to deserve all of the great things that it and you all have brought me over the years.

Or whatever you call it (possibly Thursday).
I’m rather thankful (and confused) that so many people come here every day and see what I think about shows. The site has reached a point I never would have imagined to the point where I can do a lot of things I never thought I’d be able to do. It’s an amazing feeling to have it actually work this long and I don’t know what to say about the whole thing. It blows my mind more every day that this is what I do for a living and I thank you all for every bit of it every same day.
Have a good one and spend some time with your family. Preferably while watching wrestling of course.

I made the flight up here for the four Survivor Series weekend shows and since it’s a twelve minute walk from the hotel, I should be back pretty fast every night. The WiFi here is pretty spotty at best though so I’m not sure how fast I’ll be able to put things up. Please bare with me though as I’ll be back home Tuesday afternoon and things will be back to normal.

A family situation came up and AEW/NXT are going to be delayed. They’ll be up tomorrow at the latest. I’m sorry for the last minute notice.

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.
