One of my goals for 2009 was to keep up on the independent wrestling scene as much as possible. And indeed, in some ways, this was a success. Attending more wrestling shows this year from a larger variety of companies than ever before means I did in fact broaden my horizons in some ways. But the main way to keep up on the indy scene, through DVD viewing, is where I just didn't come up to the task. Sure I picked up plenty of DVDs from many different companies over the year, but how many of them have I watched? And more importantly, how many of them did I actually regularly keep up on? The sad truth is not nearly enough to feel satisfied with my efforts.
Thus a new goal (and blog) is born! I will keep up on the indy scene on DVD, in chronological order, and I will start right now. I'm going back to the start of 2009 and watching through all of the shows I have in date order. And I will share thoughts on each of those shows, because I have thoughts and I have internet access and that basically means I should share them somewhere, right?
Haven't decided when I am going to start this quite yet. Part of me is thinking not until January 2010, so that I have some time to get a few last shows on DVD that I'd like to watch. Seeing as I am watching things in chronological order, I will not go back and pick up any shows that are before the date I am up to once I get going with this. So now is the time to pick up some extra stuff.
Perhaps I will start much sooner though. Hmmm...
One of my other "goals," as it were, is to get through 2009 in as little time as possible. I am hoping that by April 2010, I will be done with my 2009 watching, but that may be a bit too ambitious. Seeing as I have about 60 shows right now for the year and plan on picking up a number more, this could take awhile...
