I’ll never top this as a wrestling fan.  Ever.

Signed 30 years to the day.

Taken while a Hart Foundation match with Jimmy managing was playing on a TV just over my left shoulder.  He seemed rather excited.

So in case I forgot to mention it, I’m back at Wrestlemania this year but since the wife is visiting family, I can go to WAY more stuff than I did last year.  On the schedule this year:

Minimum of 3 signings (might be four depending on time)

Two indy shows

Axxess

Wrestlecon

Takeover

Wrestlemania

Raw

Smackdown

Therefore, as you might expect, the regular shows will be a bit late.  Smackdown will be up tomorrow, assuming I don’t go to the Orlando Magic game.  I’ll have my live reports up as soon as I can as well.

I don’t think I’d be going too far to suggest that NXT is one of the most entertaining and well received promotions to come along in years. Now it gets its own spot on Wrestlemania weekend and feels like a genuine alternative to the main roster. But how exactly did we get here?

In these books, I take a look back at the history of NXT from its debut at Full Sail University in June 2012 to the debut on the WWE Network (Volume I) and from the Arrival special all the way through Takeover: Dallas (Volume II), looking at 190 episodes of NXT plus all ten live specials. Each show is broken down match by match and segment by segment with context, play by play and analysis.

Both are ready to go from Amazon and are full on paperbacks. Volume I runs $9.99 (£ 8.99) and Volume II runs $12.99 (£ 10.99). They are available worldwide (only in English) from any country’s Amazon page but here are the US and UK links:

Volume I:

As in the stuff at Full Sail from 2012 to just before Arrival.

It would be nice if there was a guide for something like that.  Say in paperback.  Maybe on Friday.  Like this Friday.  Which will be available on Amazon.  Along with a sequel that covers from Arrival to Dallas.  Which will be on sale too.  Just in time for Wrestlemania season.

That would be nice wouldn’t it?

It’s that time of year again.  On March 1, I’ll be starting up the Wrestlemania Count-Up and that means I’ll be needing to redo a pair of them.  Of course I’ll be redoing Wrestlemania XXXII but as usual, you all get to pick which other one I do.

I did XXI last year and I’m redoing XXXII this year but all thirty others are available.

I recently got to be a guest on a fairly new show with the idea of being positive instead of bashing everything WWE does.  We’re talking about Wrestlemania experiences and I talk about what it was like being at Wrestlemania XXX and XXXII.  The host is a very smart guy and it was a lot of fun to be on the show.  Check it out.

You’re all familiar with the Big Four WWE pay per views. Well now you can be even more familiar with them by picking up my collections of reviews, which are now available in PAPERBACK. After years of only having these as e-books I’ve gone through all of them, polished them up, and turned them into actual, physical books.

Wrestlemania is $12.99. They are available worldwide (only in English) from any country’s Amazon page but here are the US and UK links:

Remastered (as in I went through and edited them all to make them a bit more readable), with page numbers, chapter titles (if I can figure them out), About the Author and some rather snazzy covers (not exactly what you see here).

These are actual, physical paperback books with the most up to date reviews available, as in material not in the e-books.

I was in studio a few weeks back for a chat about Monday Nitro.  The hosts are much funnier than I am so it’s certainly worth a listen.

And they still make my head spin.
