The wife and I got some rather bad news earlier this week and work hasn’t exactly been on my mind.  I’m not sure when I’ll be back to normal but I should have the regular shows up.  As for the more minor ones (including Impact, which a few people felt the need to complain about being late), it’s one of the lowest viewed things on the site.  I know there are some people who like to read it, but there are only so many hours in the day and Impact is pretty low on my priorities list at the best of times.  I’ll try to pick up the pace a bit but it’s been a rough week.

So ever since the redesign of the site, the ads revenue has cratered and something had to be changed.  I’ve set up a new thing where Google decides where the ads are placed, which means there will be a few in the reviews (I’m not putting them there myself and have rather limited control over them).  The revenue has already popped back up and I’ve already had one of my best days in months by 9am, but if they get too bad that you can’t stand them, let me know and I’ll think about changing them back.  Otherwise, I ask that you please bear with them as, assuming this morning isn’t an outlier, this is bumping my revenue up by more than 10x over.

Again: if they’re too bad, let me know, but if they’re tolerable, please bear with them if you can, as it might be a complete game changer for me.

Have a good one and, if safely possible, be with your loved ones.  At worst, call them up and talk with them for a bit if you can.  THis year has taught us that you don’t know when you might not be able to again, so cherish the time while you can.  It’s worth it all the time, but especially today.

It’s that time of year again.  Starting on December 28 I’ll be redoing the Royal Rumbles in order, including a fresh edition of the 2020 show.  I’ll redo another one and you can vote in the comments on which you want.  All are eligible except for the following (mainly ones I’ve done recently or done too many times before):

I’ve added a menu to the mobile version of the site.  Now you should see a red bar at the top of any page on mobile with a drop down menu option.  This will give you options for things like the home page, All Reviews, Ask KB and more.  I’ll probably be making some more changes in the future too.  Let me know if there’s something that you think would help/would like and if it’s something I can/want to put in, I’ll see what I can do.

Apparently people like to print the reviews off (I’ve never heard of this but ok then) and the new design wasn’t making that work.  If you would like to, the bottom of each review should now have a green button opening up a Printer Friendly/PDF version.  The site’s header is included but you can get rid of it by clicking on it in the preview.

Just out of curiosity to those who do print them off, why do you do so?  I don’t mean that in a mean/condescending way.  I’m just curious about why someone would want to.

It’s kind of way overdue.

Ten years ago today, I launched this site and things have been rolling ever since. With that kind of an anniversary, it was time to freshen things up a bit around here and this is the result. Please note that I’m going to be tinkering with it but since I don’t know what I’m doing, it is taking a bit more time. This is NOT the final product and there is a chance that I’ll scrap the whole thing and switch to something I like better. Even if this goes badly, the old design can be pulled up with one button.

Everything under the hood is exactly the same so the reviews will still be coming up as usual. Hopefully there are some adjustments I can make to see what else can be improved but for now, the look does feel a bit less plain. Just like last time, thank you to AB Morales for designing the banner, as he’s quite good at that kind of thing.

Thank you all for being around for any part of the ten years I’ve been doing this (especially you Jay, and I’m not being sarcastic). I’m still not sure what I did to deserve being able to make this my job but it has worked out far better than I ever would have expected when I put this place up. It started out as a place to store the reviews because I was clogging up WrestleZone too much and now, here we are with this being my full time job. It means more than you can imagine and thank you all for it very much.

One other note that might not be so popular: I might be starting to accept paid posts again. I’m not thrilled with having to do so but the pandemic has hurt the ad revenue a lot and I kind of need the extra help to bridge the gap a bit. I only have so much control over the content of the ads but AT MOST there will be one a week, and I would be stunned if it ever approaches that often. I know they’re annoying and I don’t like doing them, but it’s upwards of a third of a week’s worth of income for something that takes five minutes to do. I’m sorry that I have to do them but it’s kind of a necessity for the time being.

With that out of the way, thank you again for everything and I’ll be here as usual for as long as you want me to be, plus a little longer than that.
