A FREAKING TIME MACHINE!!!

So I’m doing some spring cleaning in July, because that’s how I do, and what do I find in the back of my linens closet that is used for just about everything but linens? A FREAKING TIME MACHINE!

Now I’ll admit I’ve never used one of these newfangled concoctions before. But I went for it anyway, typed in some stuff on the old school IBM keyboard, something all time machines should be equipped with as I’ve just decided, and BAM! I’ve jumped from April 2009 all the way to January 2010! In independent wrestling DVDs!

Okay, so most of that is a tall tale. I don’t do spring cleaning, period. But I have made a decision regarding this blog. When I started, all those months ago, my intention was to get through the many, many indie shows I had from 2009 as quickly as possible so that I could both have them under my belt and catch up on shows from 2010. Unfortunately, my schedule just didn’t allow for the consuming of 60 plus wrestling shows in quite the time frame I hoped for. By now I should be long done; instead, I’m only at April.

So I’ve decided to move forward. I will be watching those shows I have from 2010, in date order, starting right now so that I may be able to add to the independent pro wrestling in 2010 conversation.

Does this mean I’ve quit 2009? Well, not exactly. While my main focus now will be 2010, the goal is to be caught up and waiting for new releases. During that between time, I will definitely go back to 2009, in order still, and follow through with watching every show I have from that year. I also plan to eventually view all of the Ring of Honor I own, and various other wrestling shows, a lot of which has gone unwatched by me so far.

And I plan on getting more into Japanese wrestling, both classic and contemporary. Prepare to see reviews of current Japanese shows and of anything older I can get my hands on courtesy of Highspots.com.

Each new blog entry will likely be named so that you know what kind of review is coming at you. For example, a review for a 2010 show will have “2010” at the beginning of the title. Current Japanese reviews will have some title too, though clearly I must now think of something clever for this to work. Same for the classics.

Okay, consider this note done; now back to what we’re all here for, the wrestling!
